For what it might be worth:

After some experimentation, I settled on:

Hornady 90 gr. XTP
4.0 gr. Unique
CCI #500
Mixed brass.
COAL: 0.9475"
Taper Crimp: 0.371"
Velocity: 944 fps (@ 15' @ 60F); SD = 38.86; CoVar = 3.38%

Function is 100% from a SIG P238.

I can only wish for such good fortune. You are over-armed for sure. In that case I would open carry a claw-hammer on a utility tool belt, and save exposing a perfectly good firearm to sweat and weather.

I have shot deer and antelope with guns, watched pigs shot with guns, and killed a few 150 pound goats with a hammer.

Hitting an animal on the head with a hammer, about as hard as you would hit a nail, can kill them. This is frightening for someone who grew up watching the 3 stooges.
