The Israel draw and chamber?
Drop a mag?
Don't know how to operate the firearm?
All of the above?
Drop a mag? Yes more than once by the same person. And others as well on different trips. Mostly since a person loads the pistol. And the shooter picked it up to shoot and dropped the mag. As the person was unable to work the slide. So another was loading it setting it down for another to shoot.
Don't know how to operate the firearm? Yes, many times one that still bothers me is>
Point the Gun at my sons head from the next lane. While chambering a round. When I said something she stopped. Only to point it at her sons head instead. That was done while I was telling the staff. When The staff and I got back that was what we saw. She was asked to leave. She was pissed since she bought a whole box of 50 22lr rounds and was not able to use them all before being tossed out. Wanted some of her $ back. As no way she could use the rest as it was a rental gun.

Having spent time in places with grizzlies and polar bears, I'd recommend combining your pistol with a nice loud set of bear bells. Or a can of pennies to shake while you walk. You can use the pistol to whack the can to let em know you're coming! :-)
(Good for bears but not ideal for deer hunting mind you...)

When game wardens go looking for bears that have been involved in fatal attacks on humans, they look for feces that smells like pepper and has shiny bells in it. Just sayin'.
I have a 29 classic and shoulxer holster. I always thought that was the go to calibre
For a side arm in case. That was before 10mm and 460 Rowland. My buddy thought it was to big so carried a S&W 19 with 158 Hp or 158Sp when he went hunting as back up. But later changed to 44mag.

I always wondered what happened to poor old Santa...
I remember reading/hearing that joke in the early 70s when bear bells were becoming common. Pepper was added in the late 80s after bear spray came out. Just saying.

Actually a paraphrase of an older joke on a sign differentiating between black and brown bears. The sign was much funnier but I don't remember it all.
