I have been charged once. I threw a fish at her, Took her attention off me long enough for me to run to safety, when I went back to get my fishing gear, the fish was gone... so were the eggs... by I came out of it safe. So if all ells fails carry a fish
. With that being said the Outlaw get five stars for cool factor, Two stars for practicality, and from what i have heard 1 star for reliability and safety. I have never personally owned one but I carry my old mans Rem pump action. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with a pump, Tried and true, affordable, safe (or just about as safe as any loaded gun can be), and you get more then just two shots. Why is this important, well it gives you the chance to off load a few shots in the air to scare her off before you commit your self to shooting an animal that you may have just spooked.

I think a short double can make a decent bear gun, and I've used a few of them including a Rossi coach gun and a Euro hammerless double of dubious lineage. The key is to ensure the gun you have is 100% reliable if you intend to use it in the life saving role. Bear protection is a close range gig, the range is in feet rather than yards, at that range the accuracy of the gun is irrelevant. The first round needs to put him down and the second is the kill shot applied to the head. Its unlikely that under those circumstances you'll have the opportunity to fire more than twice. Work on short range targets, and get used to shooting quickly with the first shot and deliberately with the second. Having to #### the hammer will take a bit more time then with a hammerless gun, so you'll have to work that out in your training so you don't fumble when under stress. The nice thing about a double is you don't have to think about cycling an action, just shoot. I would want to ensure that the recoil of the first shot wouldn't set off the second barrel, and simply #### both hammers at the same time.
My Outlaw has been reliable. Another nice thing about it is that the safety doesn't automatically go on when you close the action.
Haven't carried this fun gun much in the bush but would go with chambers loaded, safety off, hammers on half ####.
The left barrel is badly regulated high and left. The right barrel is a bit high but OK. As you can see in the photo, at less than 5 yards as we are discussing it doesn't matter.
I have added higher beads plus a 2nd one to the left of the original and that has settled the regulation issue for me.
It takes a hard smack to open after firing and I suspect it to be a firing pin issue based on the comments here by more experienced SxS nutz.
I have better firearms for close range wildlife and I mainly love it for pissing off Fudds.

The situation looked very uncomfortable to say the least... I felt the mans fear. I think he needed to be a bit more aggressive. Great video.
BTW the last thing I'm doing is shooting in the air...no matter how many rounds I have. Honestly, If I truly felt stalked or that threated by a bear and felt the need to shoot, I would just dispatch it. End of story.
For the record I did not shoot one last year, however my neighbour shot six. so I think bear defense is a very personal decision. Heck last hunting seaon I was falling asleep in my ground blind with bear at the bait... didn't bother me at all but I don't like it when they hang out on my deck or use my driveway then I yell and chase them away.
EDIT: I have carried my outlaw in past on my property but since buying my Benelli M4 no other shotgun I own has seen daylight. My outlaw is for sale.
