Not so certain I would try that quotient for hunting. It would non be bad for protection from charging hogs (in close).

Killed one whitetail that weighed about 120 lbs at no more than than 10 yards with a SIG 239 in 357 SIG. Think the load was a 125gr gold dot. In pocket backside shoulder out same place. Broke rib on way in and out. Both lungs were in bad shape though non total mush like ordinarily become from a rifle, exit was about nickle size. The deer ran well-nigh 75 yards before slowing down staggering some and dropping.

I take a Glock 31 and from what everyone says it is just what one needs when encountering a group of terrorists, so I experience certain it would piece of work well with a hog plus everyone knows the Glock is supremely undecayed.

Jammer, I accept hunted with automobile pistols for many years. I settled on the 10mm as soon as I could go 1. There is no uncertainty that that 357 Sig or xl cal will kill nigh things in Texas if the shot is placed and attention paid to the wound channel path. When I chase with my 10mm I think just similar a tradtional archer in setting up my shot. Pigs are tuff I mean tuff. A 200 pig shot thru the heart with a 10mm can go far 75 yds most every time. He may exit fiddling blood trail. In thick cover (which is where ya usually hunt pigs with a pistol) he tin can exist hard to discover.

With 10mm we are talking somewhere betwixt 800 to 900 ftlb at the muzzel. On pigs nether a year one-time it is pretty constructive. On bigger pigs ya meliorate shoot direct and hit in the right spot with the wound aqueduct going thru both lungs and hopefull the heart.

The thing that makes my pistol hunting constructive is a blood trailing canis familiaris. IMO hunting with an auto pistol you lot will need one. Besides they are fun to train

I saw a 200# (are in that location about) pig shot xi times with a forty cal earlier he even went down. that is what can happen without very practiced shot placement. And then the guy had no real idea where the brain was and shot the pig four more than times in the head tring to hit the brain. 15 total rounds, not the best mode to bring a hog home.

IMO 357 Sig is marginal but not ineffective in the right hands but requires a skilled shot with a skilful knowledge of anatonmy.

I accept only gotten a 460 Rowland barrel for a springfield 1911. Take not had a run a risk to hunt with it nevertheless. Generally information technology is my opinion that hunting with a defensive pistol (auto) is marginal and requires careful shot placement.

i shot a 200# boar in the left shoulder with my Glock 32 using 125 grain Golden Dots...information technology had very little affect on him just fabricated him limp alittle....i chased that pig in my pickup for a couple of minutes across a field .....firing several shots and missing...he finally busted information technology out to my neighbors pasture and ran to a bank of a ditch giving me a broadside and one nasty look...thats when i unrolled my M1A and shot him in the neck and thats all she wrote...i have used full metal jacket and Win. Ranger T rounds on head and throat shots with good effect and i imagine Gold dots would work that well also but the truth is i like the flat trajectory of the round for long range shots on coyotes more than anything

Such a slap-up caliber. I carry a glock 33 on a daily basis.

357 SIG expands faster than a +p 9mm due to its actress velocity. That also translates to more constructive energy transfer but at the cost of penetration. Food for idea.

The 357 sig is a 40 S&W necked downwardly to a 9mm bullet (.355"). That is why information technology just takes a barrel change to brand a 40 into a 357 sig. Information technology is just a ++P 9mm luger. An expensive, fast 9mm luger.

Frankly, the velocity probably isn't enought to be much, if any, more constructive than a 9mm luger. I'd prefer the bigger bullet of the forty Due south&Westward for hunting, which is cheaper and easier to detect.

Don't listen to me, I recollect the 357 Sig is a worthless circular.

Pistols aren't rifles, and are alwasy going to be marginal in the harm department.

i accept owned and shot the 9's, 40's ,357sig's, and 45's and compared them all at once...my option is the 357Sig easily downwardly closely followed by 45acp....the forty and 357 I tried out of the same Glock 23 and the xl is merely not that impressive of a round to me..357Sig hits harder penetrates more, expands well in a hollow indicate...there is a reason why 2 Federal Agencies and several Country police agencies use 357Sig....i believe in 10 years that 357Sig will be 1 of the superlative iii cartridges used past L.E. and i think that civilian shooters will somewhen take hold of on
