The gun you didn’t want to jam was the .45. I can’t even imagine shooting a Grizzly with a .22.
I read an account of a Canadian Indian woman picking blackberries who killed a large grizzly with a .22lr single shot. When she saw the grizzly coming for her she three herself in the middle of the large thorny blackberry bushes hoping the bear wouldn’t try to get in the thorns himself to get her. He did and she fired one shot at point blank range.
It does have a lot of penetration close up.
Yep, gotta practice clearing the .45.
True for all semi-auto’s, but more so for the stiffer .45’s.
Lot’s of video for standard clearing and tapping of the 1911’s.
