10mm guys

[Pcole]

The thread in the trading post where someone said the 10mm is a great deer and hog gun has got me curious. I own a glock 20 that I got as a backup for all the deer/hog hunting I do (in my mind),and kept hearing how much better the 10 is than the 357 revolver i was toting.I've only ever bought target ammo,as paper is all I've ever shot with it, and I feel I'm not getting all the potential out of it. My question is, what ammo are yall shooting that puts the kibosh on deer and hogs? I like a bullet that hits like a truck and drops them.

Nothing that will fit in a Glock hits like a truck and will put them on the ground. It’s more like shooting a deer with a bow than a rifle. That’s how you should shoot them too, shot placement like you’re shooting with a bow. Unless you spine / brain them they run off and you’ll have to blood trail. Swift A frames are the best jacketed hunting bullets made. If your Glock likes them I would shoot these.

Flat nosed hard cast would be my second choice.

Fair enough, thanks.
I really don't think my eyesight is good enough to technically "hunt" with a pistol, I'm more interested in a backup for say, a hog, coyote, or maybe a deer jumped between the truck and stand or vice versa. Thanks for the bullet suggestions, though, I'll definitely look into those.

Lot of 10mm folks use these for Bear defense

Ive put down a deer, a cow and a pig with the 230gr double tap hard cast. My fil had shot the cow 3-4 times with his little 32 that he keeps for that purpose. Couldnt tell the cow had been shot. I popped it between the eyes with one of those cast bullets and it shook the cow like id hit it with a bat. Blood poured out if the nose and ears. My fil said what in the hell did you just shoot that thing with?

Imo though the 10 dont hold a light to a hot 357 as far as energy. But the 10 with those big heavy cast bullets, put two holes in stuff and penetrate. I like big heavy bullets. They work. 300gr in 44 and 45’s and 405’s in my 45/70’s.

In addition, if you plan to shoot cast or hot loads in 10mm glock, id advise getting an aftermarket barrel like a kkm with fully supported chamber and traditional rifling. Plenty videos explaining why
