Re: back up pistol for bears

Sound advice but having a pistol as backup is just as sound. There have been many bear attacks where the victim had a rifle but the bear was too fast and/or too close to use it. A pistol on the hip gives you another chance. Best answer, carry both.

He drew a Ruger .454 Casull revolver. There was no time to aim, barely time to squeeze the trigger.
saw the grizzly for just a fraction of a second before it was on him - revolver saves him
