i might get a chance to do something that for me will surely be a once in a lifetime experience. a 5 day salmon fishing trip in alaska.
i have been told that one possible area we could be taken to has a healthy population of brown bears, and that bear sprays at the very least should be taken, and protection in the form of firearms are suggested. (ive been looking at the ten rules of safety when fishing around grizzly bears.)
the most powerful handgun i own is a 1911 pistol which i can load with federal +p hydrashocks in 185 grain, or hydrashocks in 230 grain.
of course we also have m1 garands that i can load pretty much any bullet i want for. maybe some 168g tripleshock x bullets @ around 2700fps.
planning for this trip is in its infancy stage as it is almost a year away, and tonight has been our first conversations about it, so im nipping this little detail in the bud so to speak
