Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns For those considering deer hunting with a handgun....

I have shot deer with a 6" 686 using 140 grain and 158 grain JHP's. Though the deer had little reaction other than slumping to the ground in a pace or two the wounds internally were devastating. I plan to shoot one with my Glock 10mm. I use 180 grain XTP's running 1325 at the muzzle. I practice with it to 100 yards so hopefully if I can get within 50 yards it should be a clean kill. Placement is key. I go for the double lung when I can.
