Lots of good conversation. I did note that the gun would be carried east of the Mississippi. I feel with the right load the 45acp +p is a good choice as it is a little easier to handle than 10mm compacts.
I would like to try a 10mm and am debating how I want to pay for it???
As far as carry choices. I was in Yellowstone about a month ago and carried my Taurus 41 mag and Taurus 605 357 mag.
Yes I would prefer a 44mag Smith 69, but with the current gun/ammo market it didn't happen.
I am seeing 10mm Pistols and ammo SC so I may want to scratch the itch.
Do I need a 10mm ? With the enablers on THR I thought that I may have some support.
NOTE: I would like to find some 180 grain hardcast loads for my 357. Would the solid copper bullets be a good option even though they are much lighter?
