I have a few specific firearms modified to my concept of what works in defending yourself from Grizzlies due to the increase in incidents here in BC. This is a holdover from years of bushwork which I may be going back to, however, it is getting rather off the topic in respect of the type of forum this is.

Trailspace is not a gun forum and I think that few here want to have details of this discussed at length; Grizzlies are not a major concern to most hikers here, so, I shall not post on this.

I WILL make one point, UNLESS, you have EXTENSIVE experience with suitable firearms, packing ANY gun in bear country is NOT a wise idea and is usually just extra weight. Your query indicates to me that you are not familiar with guns/bears to any degree,, so, you should concentrate on the emergency survival gear and forget guns for now.
