To bring my thoughts into an open discussion, when going into the woods alone do you bring a pistol in 9mm or .45acp? I'm more familiar with 9mm but do I just bring a .45acp just because it's a .45acp?

Personally, I take a Lightweight Officer in .45acp. I take it since it's more packable than my HP or CZ. Further, I'm primarily concerned with other people, not so much animals, and I"m assuming you're referring to California woods...

Waiting for the first this thread to morph into yet another moronic grizzly bear thread.

Yeah, are you concerned about animals? If so, neither unless you have a .460 Rowland conversion for your .45. I'd take a .357 or .44mag for easy to shoot critter cartridges.

I wonder if really hot 9mm with a hard cast bullet would be equivalent to a .357 mag?

This pretty much sums it up in my opinion.

What woods? What predators?

Grass

[Oceanbob]

10mm

This^^

My choice is a GLOCK 29 running Double-Tap 200 grain hardcast wide nose hunting bullets.

[BlackDrop50]

the best round to take outdoors is 10mm

Ahhhh. It must be 9mm vs .45 Monday. To be followed by Slidefire Tuesday.

Google a little ballistics...short answer: Not even close.

Stuff like this gives you the security of knowing you're on calguns.net
