|
|
Here's a few 9mm loads for prudent hunters to consider as an emergency backup weapon or for varmint hunting at short distances only:
1. Hornady 147-gr. XTP Soft Point or JHP @ 875 fps in Glock 19 (4" barrel).
2. Double Tap 147-gr. Bonded Gold Dot JHP @ 1,135 fps in Glock 17 (4.5" barrel).
3. Winchester Ranger T 147-gr. JHP (RA9T) @ 990 fps in Glock 19 (4" barrel).
4. Speer 147-gr. Gold Dot JHP.
5. Remington 147-gr. Golden Saber JHP.
6. Federal 147-gr. HST JHP.
7. Federal 147-gr. Hydra-Shok JHP.
8. Double Tap 124-gr. Bonded Gold Dot JHP @ 1,310 fps in Glock 17 (4.5" barrel).
9. Hornady 124-gr. XTP JHP.
10. For emergency self defense, use: 1. 147-gr. FMJ Ball; 2. Any heavy for caliber load from above; 3. Run really fast. :laugh: |

| Question? Are you talking about protection in the field from another human or protection in the field from a dangerous animal??? Because with the exception of maybe a mountain lion, any other animal that would pose a threat in the wilderness would require more than a 9mm. A .44 Rem Mag would be something to consider for protection from wild agressive animals. The 9mm Parabellum was designed for protection against man sized/weight attackers at close range. Wouldn't even consider using a 9mm against smaller dangerous game like wild boars. No way!! |

| CorBon loaded with Barnes DPX is the nastiest in all the land. I've seen what they can do to two and four legged animals. |

| Doesn't matter....Four legged or a four legger who can stand on two. Trust me, a 9mm parabellum is nowhere near suitable for these large beasts, or any other dangerous animal in the wilderness :[-X |

| Never said that nor did 147 grain. The only bears I run into in Missouri is when Chicago is in town. The 3 pitbulls 1 bullmasta, 5 rots that tried to eat me (9 different incidents) and my team mates sure didn't like getting riddled with "da 9" (MP5). If I new ya better I'd tell ya about the 2 legged animals. :[-X |
