In real life, bear spray works very well, and not just against the curious bear. This is one exception proving the rule. I can show you far more handgun failures against grizzlies.
I notice he was good enough after the incident to stand there and make a you tube video. Looks like the bear impacted him and didn’t hang around.
With all due respect Rhino, this looks pretty real life to me. So, I’m not following you on that point.
I’m in the Alaska Bush for weeks every summer for many years. I carry both spray and a 50 cal Magnum S & W. I do this because when a small brown bear comes nosing around, I usually just watch it. When I get tired of watching, I just yell at it and they have always run but one time. That one I sprayed and it just rolled and stumbled and hissed around on the ground and then ran off.
But, I have had Grizzlies around and common sense, at least to me, dictates I grab the 50 cal, not the spray.
I am going to take issue with you, respectfully, that you can find a lot of bear attacks where a “quality” revolver pistol “failed”. Maybe the operator froze or missed but I don’t think there are any “documentable” cases where the gun itself (am speaking of a quality revolver) failed.
