Woman uses New York Reload on Grizzly in Idaho

Grabbing another loaded gun can be a very fast reload.

[Smokin' Joe]

New York reload? Between the SAFE Act and the alleged difficulties in getting permits, I’m not sure why New York gets the limelight.

[G Larry]

S&W 686, 7 shot, 200 gr. hardpoint.
...and a spare speed loader.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

The bear had been trapped and released three weeks earlier, but was not known as a problem bear.

Must have attended an EPA refresher course.

[exnavy]

Yeah, but a .22 on a bear?! Wow. That is one lucky woman.

[exnavy]

I’m thinking 454 casul, one shot, one kill.

[Secret Agent Man]

Probably tying into the “New York Minute” theme.

[Robert A Cook PE]

.22 is very, very small caliber to go up against a grizzly.

[PROCON]

What a horrifying experience coming face to face with a grizzly, even if you were well-armed.

[tet68]

I was wondering about the Baltimore reload,
where you burn down a pharmacy as a last resort.

[Secret Agent Man]

Sounds more like the Ferguson reload.

New York Reload:

The act of drawing a second handgun when the first jams or runs out of ammunition, rather than reloading the first, in order to gain a speed advantage.

I carry the 686 because:

I CAN carry it comfortably, in shoulder holster, while fishing in bibs.

I CAN re-set on target, for multiple shots,

There is no consensus on where to place that one shot on a charging Griz.

[Pentagon Leatherneck]

A handgun’s best role is to give you time to get your rifle. I think my rifle would be bigger than a .22 if I lived in Griz country.

Okay, with the SAFE act, I can see running dry fast. But with the Sullivan Act, somehow I don’t see New Yorkers bristling with options.

[marktwain]

I am not sure of the etymology of the term, but I recall first learning of it about 20 years ago.

[pleasenotcalifornia]

A friend of mine who lives on Kodiak Island was charged at by a Brown Bear. He had no choice(rather than being killed and eaten)to stop the bear with his 44mag revolver. The bear literally died at his feet. The memory of this experience still shakes him up.

[EternalVigilance]

Could have been me, twenty-five years ago.

I had a little tract of land up in that neck of the woods, and we always had bear signs on the property.

Had a hot little twenty-two, but I wouldn’t have wanted to take on a grizzly with it though.

[joshua c]

Thank God she had an arsenal at hand.

[Smokin' Joe]

Me, either. I figure it must be a TV thing.
