Can This Handgun Stop an Alaskan Bull Moose?

Подробнее о видео

When you live the Alaskan lifestyle, choosing the right tool for personal protection in the backcountry isn't a casual decision—it's an absolute necessity. In this video, I explain exactly why my choice for a reliable and powerful handgun is the Glock 10mm. This isn't about hunting; this is purely about survival and self-defense when faced with a life-threatening situation deep in the wilderness.
The Alaskan backcountry is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, but it demands respect. It's home to some of North America's largest predators, including bears and moose, both of which can be incredibly dangerous. For anyone practicing homesteading, hiking, or simply living an off-grid life here, having a dependable firearm is a critical piece of survival gear. The question I get asked most often is, "What gun should I carry in Alaska?" While there are many options, the 10mm cartridge has proven itself time and again as a formidable choice for bear defense.
The Glock 10mm, specifically the Glock 20 model, combines two essential features for a backcountry firearm: immense stopping power and legendary reliability. In a high-stress encounter, you need a tool that you know will function flawlessly, and Glock's reputation is built on that principle. The 10mm round delivers incredible energy, which is crucial for stopping a large, determined animal.
The ultimate benchmark for power in the Alaskan woods is often discussed in terms of a charging moose. As I state in the video, the Glock 10mm is absolutely capable of stopping a moose at very close range. This capability provides the confidence needed when traversing areas known for bear activity. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a practical assessment of the power required for effective backcountry protection. The "10mm vs bear" debate is a serious one, and this video demonstrates my personal conviction in this platform.
Ultimately, the best gun for bear defense is the one you are proficient with and can trust completely. For me, the Glock 10mm strikes the perfect balance of power, capacity, and unwavering reliability. That is why this is what I carry.
