Thank you for the kind words though it is now 'ex-cop'.

I can't deny that I carried a SP-101, during the spring, in AK where documented bear-munchings have occurred. It was loaded with 200 grain LBT's, doing roughly 1000 fps from that gun and backed by a 1911 loaded with hardball and spare mags. Hey, I flew up with what I could get on De Plane. Had I lived there I would have been packing a heavy loaded 45 or 454 at minimum and I would never leave the heavy stuff at home and carry a little gun for convenience, or because I thought I knew what to expect from bears on any given day. I kinda know Phil from another forum and yes, he's forgot more about bears than I want to know. AT my age, I'm OK with that.

Which reminds me... we need to all get together again sometime soon. Hope your wife and family are all doing well.
