Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner has produced a very good video summation of the use of handguns to defend against bears published on AmmoLand. The graphics in the video are well done. There were over 95 thousand views in five days, with 748 comments. The vast majority of comments were favorable. This is a well-made video worth watching if you prefer to obtain your information via video instead of print. The video is 11:48 minutes long.  Chris has obviously studied the data collected and analyzed it from the long-running series at AmmoLand. He has created a good narrative and visual summary of the findings from that data.

Lucky Gunner correctly identifies the incidents collected and documented in the AmmoLand articles come from a variety of sources:

I have bought all my bulk ammo from Lucky Gunner over the years. Good selection, good prices and fast shipping.

This is where I buy bulk ammo. Very fast service. The website is set up for easy selection and the ammo descriptions are quite complete with a little humor here and there.

They have ammo that’s simply not on the shelves at local stores, such as 00 Buck. And they have grades of 00 Buck I’ve never seen at local stores ever such as Law Enforcement Tactical and special military. (the military rounds maintain a tighter shot group over the longer distances)

The same with other ammo. They have an outstanding selection of 5.56.

You’ve actually got me looking at Glock 10mm now...with a chest rig.

And I’ve never seen a live bear outside of a zoo.

From my shooting experience using a XII semi auto shotgun, the max effective range I can get is 50 yards (150 feet). At this distance 7 of the military pellets will hit my target whereas standard Winchester 00 Buck there is only 2 hits out of 9. At 200 feet the military stuff scatters too much and penetration into the wooden target is not that great.

At 50 feet just about any 00 Buck will give a 9 pellet hit at a human shaped target. The weapon is sited in at 50 feet with a red dot.

So yes, give it a try. With a 20 round drum you can get 180 projectiles flying in less than a minute. A good suppressor will keep the muzzle held down.

“With a 20 round drum you can get 180 projectiles flying in less than a minute.”

Now you’re speaking my language. I’m one of the lucky ones that never got rid of my saiga 12. My boss offered me $3000 for it but I refuse to let it go

And yes, I got 2 20 rounders. She’s a mean bitch
