[QUOTE="canuroper, post: 708092, member: 38226"] If you are familiar and competent with your 1911, carry it. You could get a 10mm 1911 or a new top end for your gun. If you choose a different weapon definitely shoot it enough to get used to it before you go. For ammo I would stay away from hollow points. On hogs I have had problems with quick expansion and minimal penetration. Use a FMJ or hardcast load, ideally a +P load. Practice with lighter loads if recoil is an issue, but carry the hot ones. Bear spray has a pretty good track record also. Carry some along with your pistol. Options won't hurt. Sounds like a great trip, hope you enjoy it! [/QUOTE]
