[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 1618302, member: 67515"] I to carry a 10MM Auto in a 1911 5”. Incredibly accurate to 50 yards. I reload and have magazines full of 180XTP and the new Lehigh Extreme defense bullet. My Labradar clocks them @ 1300 FPS. With 10 round mags I feel pretty confident for close range hunting. Hate the idea of having to use it on a ****ed off griz but you never know if you’re in that country. I hunt and pack by horse a lot . I carry it cross draw style and if a good close range deer happens to be spotted from horseback, being able to jump off and get a kill shot with my pistol is way quicker than my scabbard rifle. I’ve got some big bore revolvers but to carry them is heavy unless your setup with like a Diamond D chest rig. Problem with those is recovering from recoil to get a second accurate shot placement. Nice to have choices. If I was strictly hunting I’d chose the big bore. Occasional shots while doing something else my Kimber 1911. [/QUOTE]
