I am thinking of a conversion barrel/top end for my Glock G30sf for a woods gun.
Realistically, humans are the most likely problem in the woods around here. However, black bear, cougar or even a javelina or boar are not impossible.
The two options I see the most reference to are .40Super and 10mm. from a simple glance I understand .40Super seems to have a 100-200 ft/lb advantage in muzzle energy.
I also understand a .44mag can be even more powerful. I have ammo rated at around 1300-1400 ft/lb [or is it lb/ft] of muzzle energy for that round, and have a couple revolvers.
I understand all of that and will carry a SRH or SBH if I intend to go hunting, or am backpacking in Griz country.
NO CALIBER WAR MERDE, PLEASE!
All I am asking is which ammo is the most available in animal stopping [read hard cast/heavy loads- not light/fast hollowpoints] configurations?
All I know about them is what is available in my 3 main LGS. I have no idea if Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Arizona or Washington are the same.
I mention those states as they are the ones I am most likely to hike/camp in.
So, which is the easiest to buy off a shelf in your neck 'o the woods?
Thanks.
