I carry a poly public defender, I can load it with a few #6 for snakes and a few 45lc or .410 slugs or the .410 personal defense shells with a .30 cal hollowpopint followed two .30 cal balls in the same hull.

Me neither, I keep a 4" gp100 on my side when I hunt. Can't go wrong with a .357 mag

Thanks guys. I went with the Glock 22 with Nickle Boron slide. It's sweet!

Oh ya, nice man!

Any of them will kill a hog. Go pick up a few different models and makes and see what fits. I don't like glocks because of fat grips and horrible trigger ( ymmv).
Practice often with what you carry.

Come get a few of mine and see what you like better. No Glock tho!

A Ruger Viquero .45 colt.
A .45 acp long slide
A .45 acp mil spec
A S&W 686 in .357 mag
Among a few others but one of these is usually with me on a bow hunt.

I have a S&W MP 9mm and a Canik 9mm.
The Canik is a well made gun for the money if you want a full size handgun.
Bought mine from Bud's Gun shop.

I carry a Springfield marine operator 45 cal. I’m most accurate with this gun so I carry it hunting at as my conceal carry.

I like the XD in 45 ACP

Can't go wrong with a G-20 10mm

Sig sp2340 in .357 sig. It holds 15 rounds and shoots into a dime sized hole. Very nice trigger in single or double action, one of the best factory triggers I've ever had on a double/single action auto of any sort and I've had a whole bunch of different types.

Before that was a coonan in condition one.

Me too. One advantage of a revolver is that if you were to be overtaken by an animal and on the ground, say a wild pit bull or something similar, you could still jam the gun straight into it's neck or face area and it will fire. A semi auto with a slide may not. Probably not much of a concern around here since we don't have bears, but it's something to think about. Plus the gp100 weighs so much any kind of swift strike from the pistol alone is enough to dissuade pretty much anything.

Hahaha! Ask doekiller about that! He used a TC contender to club a charging hog one night!
I never seen a big man so scared.

Springfield XDS 3.3 45 cal. Its awesome. I just bought mine for 380 bucks after tax. Academy price matched larrys pawn plus gives another 5% off. Then get approved for their visa credit card and get another 25 bucks off. Cant beat that

If a hog takes a notion to get after you the only thing going to stop him in time is a hit in the head. Going to be up close & personal. Anything will do. I carry a .380 loaded with Lehigh +P Xtreme Penetrators

I carry a glock 20 10mm in the woods. Not much bigger than the glock 17 and I conceal it with a coat in the winter if I go in a store
