You wouldn't try to shoot a wild hog with a 9mm would you Karen? That just makes 'em mad!




I don't really WANT to have to shoot anything. I carry it with me when I'm out shooting pictures at a friends ranch. They have a fairly large lake on their property and it's a stopping off place for alot of migratory birds, they also have a large herd of Axis deer that regularly come down to drink there. There are snakes and hogs as well. So far the hogs have kept their distance and I've managed to avoid stepping on any snakes. It's more of an insurance policy than anything else. With a little luck and a lot of caution it'll never leave the holster. Alot of practice keeps most rounds inside the ten ring so a hog will only be mad for a second or two if I can't out run him.
