I took my G20 to Yellowstone recently. Maybe I could make a killing shot during a charge and maybe not, but I sure liked having it and a full 15 round clip in my fanny pack when we were hiking. A guy in Jackson Hole told me "be sure and carry bear spray too....after you kill the bear, spray him down real good with it"...As Mr. Ken Howell said recently "One day it will be a felony to be killed by a grizzly"
