Handgun hunting.

[GiantGreg]

I’ve been wanting to do some handgun hunting for years. This year I think I really want to go for it. I have a g20 but it’s iron sight only. I think I want to get a m&p 2.0 10mm. And a stiener mps. I looked at a few 1911s but none I like are optics ready in my price range.

What kind of bullets, do you all recommend?
I got some underwood XTP, but I read some about using extreme penetrators or hard cast flat nose.

.357 mag or larger
Xtp is a WT killer
Keep your shots reasonable distance.
Don’t overthink this.

I use a 357 mag rifle a lot and it is a death ray most of the time. They keel over.

Agreed . An XTP out of a 10mm is plenty, and I’d prefer that over any of the hard cast/ penetrators.

Xtp are great.

I have been hearing a lot about Cutting Edge Bullets if you’re a handloader but can't speak from experience

I’ve had good luck with XTPs as well. Only on one deer but in my research that was more or less the go to for deer size critters.

I have used XTP's a lot in 357 Magnum revolvers (Happy with the results), but I have never hunted with a 10, so no experience there.

I’ve shot several whitetail and hogs with xtp, works well. I prefer the M&P ergos to Glock. I personally use a Kimber with RMR on top and I fitted a threaded barrel for a suppressor as well.
