On 19 September 2018, Jimmy Cox used his Glock model 20 10mm to stop the charging grizzly bear pictured, at 10 feet. The incident leading to the dramatic events occurred the previous evening.

On the evening of 18 September 2018, Anthony Reyna was happy and excited. He and his friend, Gary, were hunting moose on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson north of and sharing a boundary with Anchorage, Alaska. Tony had drawn a moose tag for a bow hunt. He was using a 60 lb PSE ThunderBolt compound bow. He has owned the bow since he was a teenager. Tony and Gary set up and started moose calling about 6 p.m. After 40 minutes, they heard a bull moving in. They saw his antlers at 30 yards. Suddenly, a second bull appeared at 15 yards! It was not as big, but Tony was hunting for meat.

Very interesting story.

Thank you for posting!

Good shooting by the hunter!!

I've been on JBER fishing many times while up visiting my daughter in Eagle River. Seen bears and moose before. But the bears have been blacks, no grizz. It doesn't shock me about grizz, as they find them in Anchorage on a regular basis. And, being close to Eagle River where there are a lot of grizz, having them on JBER should be expected. Great story. Glad that it ended positive for everyone concerned.

I prefer an automatic pistol for protection against aggressive humans, but give me a revolver in 41 or 44 magnum out of the city limits, a 3" for bear protection, but if hunting whatever with a pistol I like the 6" barrel..A good handloaded 45 coltl suits me as well btw..Larger pistol caliber are not my cup of tea, but for those that can handlel them, they gotta be a good bet...
