Caliber defeats character.


What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself? The best answer:

My personal favorite defense gun has always been a Beretta Jetfire in 22 short. Over all the years

I've been hiking I never leave without it in my pocket. Of course we all know too the first rule when hiking in the wilderness is to use the "Buddy System".

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this it means you NEVER hike alone, you bring a friend or companion, even an in-law, that way if something happens there is someone to go get help.

I remember one time hiking with my brother-in-law in northern Alberta . Out of nowhere came this huge brown bear and man was she mad. We must have been near one of her cubs. Anyway, if I had not had my little Jetfire I'd sure not be here today. Just one shot to my brother-in-law's knee cap and I was able to escape by just walking at a brisk pace.

That's one of the best pistols in my safe...

I thought you were really serious about the .22 short for a minute. That was funny. To bad you didn't spray the bear with some of that bear pepper spray then shoot him in the knee

No, spray your brother-in-law with the pepper spray, that way the bear can have Cajun Honkey.

I'm partial to the 30mm. Still looking for an IWB holster for my GAU-8.

Your the guy I want with me. I could definately outrun you.

Seriously 10mm and be done with it.
 
Re: Best caliber for protection

HaHa! Just knee cap him. Love it. You don't have to outrun the bear just don't be the slowest:) +1 also for the 10mm. Silly little cannon of around.

You don't have to swim faster than the shark, just faster than your dive buddy...
 
Re: Best caliber for protection

12 Ga. #4 buckshot. It's a bit hard to carry concealed and finding a holster is a bitch.
