And Jeff Cooper said the .25 was not good for anything!

Woman Stops Grizzly Attack With .25 Cal Pistol
3/8/13

This is a story of self control and marksmanship with an itsy bitsy shooter by a woman against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself?

Try the Beretta Jetfire!


"While hiking in Alberta Canada with my boy- friend we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging us from out of nowhere.

She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive. If I hadn't had my Beretta Jetfire with me I wouldn't be here today!

Just one shot to my boyfriend's knee cap was all it took; the bear got him and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace.

It's one of the best pistols in my collection!"

Who is Jeff Cooper?

 

[PabloJ]

Was it Eskimos or Native Indians that used to dispatch big bears with .22 aiming "half way between eye and ear" from behind cover?

An excerpt from Wikipedia -

In 1976, Cooper founded the American Pistol Institute (API) in Paulden, Arizona (later the Gunsite Training Center). Cooper began teaching shotgun and rifle classes to law enforcement and military personnel as well as civilians and did on-site training for individuals and groups from around the world.

To the true believer, this question is right up there with "Who is John Moses Browning?"
