After the shot mom ran like hell behing me and the bear was on the ground flopping. I was about 20 feet away, and it didn't look like the sow was backing down, so I focused on the front sight and let one fly. I took my time, did what the old man taught me since I was a nipper and took deliberate aim. I turned to look and she was frozen in place, then I noticed the big blackie sow that was in the briars only 10 feet from mom. I heard her say something to me but too quiet to make out. I had Dad's pre WW2 A1 slabsides on my hip and I was back to my mother. 45, but it won me over once when my mother and I were picking blackberries, I was 17 at the time. 45 because it is the only round I have confidence in. 32acp (just gotta break the weapon down and switch barrels) or my ruger P89, but I only carry the. innocent_bystander, you mean Cooper would kick my ass or Sanows?, if you meant mine than you didn't read my post. I guess I could've just asked "Is Ed Sanow a moron?" and I'd of got my answer. If there are any of you with personal experience with the rounds on human adversaries, I would appreciate the info. Sanow? About the only thing I agree with him on is that the federal 230gr hydrashok is an excellent self defense round (works good on bulls anyway) Appreciate the input guys. He said that there was a HUGE difference between the two for CQB, and after that experience he'd rather have 7. 45 1911s in WW1, WW2, and korea, and all swore by "ole slabsides" My grand-uncle used a browning hi-power and lost it in the field, and "aquired" a 1911. 45 for a reason, so I don't see how it could be "the same" as a 9mm fmj.

The specops guys and some marines went from 9mm back to. Cooper, that big round doesn't have to expand to be effective. 45 in a warzone, I'd rather have had it than the 9mms that we carried. While I never had the opportunity to carry a. 380 hollowpoints would be better for defence. 45 230 grain fmj is no more effective than 115gr 9mm fmj, and that 19 times out of 20, the. I was just reading that line in a G&A article by Ed Sanow.
