He was posting in the General Big Game forum before and after this event occurred. Link. He also posted on a number of threads in the handgun forum.



Empirical evidence offered by an impeccable source, good enough for me. In any self defense situation utilizing a hand gun certain skills increase your chance of survival:

Smooth, fast presentation

Multiple Accurate shots to the kill zone done in a short period of time

Shoot until the problem is solved

I carry Phil's proven load in bear country and practice the fundamentals frequently. Draw a Glock 19 from my HPG kit bag and fire 6 rounds of BBore into 6" at 7 yards in < 3 seconds. I call it the Phil Drill.

There are no sure things, but I prefer preparation to speculation. I am headed to griz country on the 30th, my 3rd trip this year. YMMV
