MTP & Mountain Mike,
RACKING a shotgun does make a hell of a noise and WILL direct the Bad Guy's fire in your direction-Pronto. The days of scaring off a home invader with "Shuck, Shuck" are long gone. BG's are usually armed and on an adrenelin rush. When they hear the racking of a shotgun, they will fire in your direction-numerous times. Why blow your cover? Snap off the safety with a slight "snick" and bag the critter. As for Ball Ammo in the .45 ACP-bad idea. Ball ammo in any caliber, including rifles, is a very poor manstopper per the 1974 FBI ammo tests. The .45 ACP shines with a 190 grain or 200 grain open hollow point FAR above anything Ball ever hoped to do. Adam

Rocky, Glad to see your back on. As for your question my answer would be the largest cal. you can handle comfortable. I pack a 329 PD. A Sacdium framed .44 mag. I load it with the first 2 rounds prefraged and the other 4 240 gr JHP`s.
And not that your back from over there how about getting together, I`ll buy your lunch.

I carry different guns depending on the season here in NW Florida. It gets so hot and wet that anything big in the summer is out, as far as I am concerned and that came after years of toting a 1911 in 45 ACP, then leaving it a while, then leaving it all the time. So I went to a KelTec 380 that I carry all the time. I simply recognized that a gun in the sock drawer was of no use in a "need to have" situation.
Now in the winter, under a jacket I carry a 4-inch M-66 with 162gr SWC GCs over a heavy load of H-110 as 357s. I like big In the truck I carry a Sig P226 and a M-10. The 226 has two 20 round magazines with 147s so we can engage in a small firefight if things go south on the road. On the tractor at the farm I have a rifle rack where the stainless Mini-14 resides. It has been accurized and shoots sub MOA. It is a bad motor scooter for dog-sized critters and things like coons, armo-dildoes, yotes, etc. I also carry a Buckmark Target gun in a holster on the tractor for lightweight stuff like turtles in my ponds or the no-shoulder bad guys.
