Hunting with a handgun?
This past weekend was my first time hog hunting, but I think I'm hooked! It's all I've been thinking about lately. Anyways, I was using my 12 guage shotgun with some slugs, but think I would prefer a rifle. I have my eye on a Remington 700 30-06. But I'd also like a handgun that packs a little more punch. I currently have a Colt .32 that I'm sure would only piss a hog off. I was looking at a couple of handguns today. Both are .45's. One is a glock and one is a Kimber. That Kimber sure is nice, but twice the price of the glock. The Glock is a really nice gun too and it looks like it's super easy to take apart and clean. I'd imagine that it is really reliable too. I know other people hunt with handguns alone. Does a .45 have enough punch to down a hog? I'm thinking that I would use a 30-06 and keep it lung over my shoulder and use the .45 for when things are getting hairy! Thanks for any info! Matt
