[QUOTE="dstark, post: 746164, member: 48159"] My experience is that 45 is plenty. I've taken a coyote with a 45 acp and 2 fox with a 9mm. All of those were at less than 35 yds but they definitely had plenty of power. I was not expecting a coyote that time but a 45acp 230 gr FMJ through the chest let him run maybe 50yds. The fox both took a single 9mm 115gr jhp which stopped them in their tracks. IMHO, the issue is accuracy, if you can hit it, a 40 or 45 is plenty. I consider those shots I made luck cause I'm no magician with a handgun but if you're confident at that range you're a better man than I. I would recommend a jhp though. [/QUOTE]
