Ok guys,
I have been reading and have read every hog thread in here and am no more closer to a decision than any for what sidearm to take into the delta with me.
We are going to scout out some duck hunting spots, and want to be prepared for whatever, like if a hog finds us. There will be 2 or 3 of us going, but I am trying to decide what would be the most effective pistol to take from my safe.
SA 1911 5" MilSpec with 230gr ball or JHP?
S&W 4053TSW .40 with 165gr ball or JHP?
Browning HP 9mm with ???
I don't have a .357mag and not rushing out to buy one for an occasional day trip in the woods. I will also be carrying my 30-30 Win for primary problems. However, if I am in some brush where wielding the rifle is not feasable I would like to pull the most effective pistol I have.
Please, please keep this limited to these calibers, I do realize a .44mag would do the trick. And not going to drop in any conversions either. I just want to buy a box of the best ammo and be able to go.
Thanks in advance everyone.
