Hello everyone. Every time I've gone hunting in the past, I've used a SIG P220 and ball ammo staggered with Federal JHPs as my sidearm / dispatch gun. No issue with that. For dispatching.
The last time I went out, we got charged by a hog and I drew while stepping back firing 5-6 rounds of .45ACP into the boars head, while my friend to the left had his 1911 jam. He holstered it quickly and transitioned to his rifle which finally took it down. This all happened in a matter of a couple seconds.
We took to the table and opened him up.. 4 of my .45ACP bullets in it's head and 2 other ones, either from him or myself in it's body. One of the JHPs didn't open up as bone matter clogged the cavity.
Close call.. Anyways, this time around. I'm taking my HK USP 45 and one spare mag. I would take the TRP, but I'd rather have the extra couple rounds with me. Not to mention, it's going to be really went up there this time in Florida and in that area on foot. I'd rather dunk the USP.
What ammo do you guys recommend? I use Corbon DPX 185gr +P now. Thinking of having that in both mags. So there isn't another close call like last time.
