Ok guys, now we have those here who prefer a 12 gauge shotgun, others a largebore powerful revolver, while others a largebore levergun or boltgun.
So let's say you pack your preferred weapon, and the Grizz decides to invite you for lunch. We know from AlaskaBear that you have only a few seconds to react. Now, how to practice for that furry meeting????
Since I'm a 12 gauge man, for those who pack them we know most 12 gauge shotguns are NOT drop safe fully loaded. So it seems to me one would carry it chamber empty (I dunno about double 12s, but pumps and autos I do know.) We also know you can short stroke the pump and not have anything in the chamber.
So for shotguns I'd suggest quail hunting or something like that but with the weapon chamber empty and one has to throw the gun up and pump it for the first shot. That way it will be a surprise encounter and you will not only have to rack the gun fast, but also reliably.
So what about rifles like leverguns and bolt actions? Or SAA revolvers? And can you draw and fire a DA revolver accurately enough? So how do you practice that?
