an old favorite: big game side arm
so the most recent installment of the glock 20 thread ( http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=309651 ) got me thinking about a much beloved topic on gun boards: side arm when hunting out west. oh what a novel topic! no threads on that!
however, i have a specific question i have been debating in my head recently. i am planning an elk hunt in montana and own both a .454 alaskan and a glock 20sf. either would be carried in a cross chest rig and given that my other weapons would include a compound bow, knife, fists and feet, i feel the side arm is pretty important.
my original plan was to go with 6 rounds of 325 grain hardcast @1525ps (ME 1678) over 15+1 of 200 grain hardcast @1250fps (ME 694). however, considering some new offerings, including the new extreme penetrators (140 grain @1500FPS = ME 700) and its reviews/performance: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=WDvzul3rvTk ), i think i am leaning glock once again (capacity/ease or reload over power/simplicity).
what say you?
(disclaimer: i have not chronographed the .454 rounds out of the alaskan's short barrel and realize they are likely lower than the above)Montani Semper Liberi
