lol, whatever. didn't know we had bullet proof bears in this state.

I seem to recall a bit of a stink over a particular grizzly that got taken down in a park with a 45acp not too long ago...

The link is bad, I couldn't find one that was still good.

Backpacker shoots, kills grizzly in Alaska park



Associated Press

Last update: May 31, 2010 - 11:14 AM




ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A backpacker shot and killed a grizzly bear with his handgun in Alaska's Denali National Park, officials said.

A man and woman reported that they were hiking Friday evening when the bear emerged from trailside brush and charged the woman, park spokeswoman Kris Fister said in a statement.

The man fired nine rounds from his .45 caliber, semiautomatic pistol at the animal, which then stopped and walked into the brush.

The two reported the shooting to rangers, who restricted access to the Igloo Canyon area for fear that the bear was wounded and dangerous.

On Saturday, rangers found the dead bear about 100 feet from the shooting site.

Park officials are determining the justification for the shooting. It's legal to carry firearms in that area of the park but illegal to discharge them.

Rangers said it was the first known instance of a grizzly bear being shot by a visitor in the wilderness portion of Denali, formerly called Mount McKinley National Park.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Was the 101 in .357?
I have looked at it, feels good. Almost pulled the trigger on buying it (pun intended)

I have also seen it in .327

Yes the sp101 is in .357mag.  I think that we will restrict her .38spcls for a little while though.
There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

It's really a great gun.  I couldn't tell much difference between the .38+P and the .357.  What barrel length did you get?

That's what I got.  If you have trouble finding a holster for it, let me know.  I ordered a custom leather, fits great but takes a while.
