10mm Hog Hunt

[NRAGOAL]

Greetings,

I’m going hog hunting this weekend and I am using my SR1911 10mm. I have harvested many animals especially hogs when I was down south, but never with a handgun. I have many different 10mm rounds and I have narrowed it down to Buffalo bore 220 grain hard casts and federal fusion 200 grain bonded soft points, both advertised at 1200 fps if I remember correctly. I was thinking soft point in chamber for first well placed shot followed by hard casts. Any opinions on which of these 2 rounds to use exclusively or interchangeably?

Sounds good, then tracer on the third shot to cook it before it’s dressed.

Hard cast would be my choice for large hogs. Small 100# hogs the shield isn't as thick.....any good solid 10mm bonded SP on the hot end would probably be OK.

I like the idea of the SP for the first round with relatively controlled shot in the lung heart area, then if things go to shit, hard cast.

Not that I need to say this...but no jams and feed reliably is super important.

Why not Glock 20?

Yeah, I tested with many rounds including these two, feeds everything so far no issues. Very accurate and reliable weapon.

I have a tricked out g20 that I use for woods carry. Using the SR because it gets better velocity with the 5” bbl, has a better trigger and I shoot it slightly more accurately.
