As dumb as this was, and sticking with the topic of the OP, they used a 9x18 to dispatch the bear.

Welcome.

I saw the .45 acp tests done at Bikini Atol. 🤣🤣

Any ones list is subjective. I don't disagree with the OPs choices & it doesn't matter that he wrote the article for msn. Anyone's list can be viewed ridiculous because the reader disagrees with it. He said it was HIS choices for the top 5. My rotation choices lately are GLOCKS 26/27, G43X...

Just for the heck of it. Looked like one guy, probably the vet, gave the bear an injection, before the other guy pissed off the bear, then killed it. 😕

With regard to the Israeli carry, I read that they adopted that practice long ago when their military had a mix of handguns. They decided the system of carrying with the empty chamber, regardless of the make & model of the gun, and racking the slide to chamber a round was the same drill for all...

IMO NO. In my experience there are many miss fires with .22 ammo. I wouldn't/couldn't carry one or recommend one for self defense.

Short answer, yes to all. I keep mine current for the reciprocity with other states & no gun purchase waiting period. Handgunlaw.us & USAcarry.com are good quick references for each state's requirements for initial & renewal of resident & non-resident permits. Both sites provide links each state.

Welcome.

So you had fun shooting a purple gun w/matte stainless slide, did you ever let your wife take a turn shooting it? How did she do? 🤣 I liked the Taurus pistols (at least the two I ever owned) better than the revolvers. Wasn't pleased with customer service though.

"If someone is 50 feet away and pulls a gun on me, they are most assuredly a threat, and a knife is pretty useless." Don't take the article personal. But what about defending yourself from someone close to you in any environment, & not 50 feet away? Or attacks without a gun or any weapon at...

You can price shop at AMMOSEEK.COM. As to reliability of function, it's subjective based on your firearm & personal preference. I've have good & bad experiences with remanufactured ammo. The brand name stuff is almost always the safer bet. Lesser known manufacturers of NEW ammo is hit & miss...

I was a crew chief, aka acft general mechanic or gas station attendant. Then moved on through different positions as promotions came along. It took awhile to get to know the Buff since I went to fighter school. With the war going on, every out fit was short & slots were filled with what ever...

My first handgun was a New model Blackhawk I got in1972. Since then it's been various double action revolver & semi autos. Just recently picked up a Heritage .22lr/wmr & a Single Six .22lr/wmr. Now I have to learn to shoot single action all over again. The grip throws me. I was in the USAF...
