I hunt hogs in south texas with a handgun. I love handguns period. I shot 7 hogs with a colt 45acp, none ran more that 30 yards, I was using 180grain jacket alumninum hollow points. Range 30-40 yards, Wichester calls these silver tip hollow points. But they are alumnium. I cant say enough..about the 45.
I shot a hog with my beretta 40, and it knocked the hog down, but I had to shoot is twice more to kill it.
I have hit numerous hogs with the 357 pistol, and they keep running, for long distances.. The caliber over penetrates,
The 45acp goes in...tranfers all energy, and does not exit.
If I am going hog hunting with a handgun. I am using a 45
Humans are much thinner and have less muscle mass, so These hunting result MAY not be worth a flip, for self defense purposes..
Your on Crack
“I hunt hogs in south texas with a handgun”
You Shot a hog with a 45 and every other gun on the planet and only the 45 dropped it right away.
Where did you shoot the hog with the .357 in the hoof LMAO.
I Can Shoot a hog with a 22 short and drop it where it stands.
A 357 would blow the damn hogs head off.
As for hunting hogs , all you need is a 9mm and a decent shot.
I would take a 9mm over a 45 any day of the week.
I could also put 15 holes rapid fire in a 6” circle at 30 feet to Your 1 with Your 45...
A 45 is a good Weapon but for personal defence the 9 or .40 is better, Ask any LEA..
We have used them all.
