Here is my opinion. Switch to Federal HST or Speer gold dot. heavier better bullet but 9mm is adequate for personal protection…AND buy another gun. Because buying guns is fun and you have an excuse to get another one now!

Every class I have been in they always stress body mass, but if I have to take the shot it’s from the neck up.

By the way my edc is a Glock 357SIG.

they trot of into bush...Next day I go take a look ,they all are <100y dead.(Never Failed to find one dead)..I have neighbors on both sides maybe 15y away they never know tell I tell them...neck anchors the right on spot ..but my lighting aint that good and old eyes and open sights don't help..
I hear the excuses bad bullets /not big enough caliber/bad broadheads..I aint gona come up with a percentage . But most Lost Game either still alive and hurt/or dead and not found...are simply (Bad SHOT)not in kill zone...or Bad TRACKING skills..Cause if you simply stuck a PENCIL through rib cage and through both lungs and or heart (THEY DEAD THEY JUST DON"T KNOW IT YET)...Ya just gota find them..and Like I always say A Gut Shot is still a Gut Shot with a 222 or a 460 w or arrow

5" Springfield .40 underwood 155 grain xtp.
This hog was 75 yards, I have killed 3 other hogs with this round.The issue with pistol cartridges is by bullet speed, go to a 5" + barrel and fast bullets.
I have shot hogs with 10mm, 44 mag, and the .40 the results were identical but the 40 is much faster for follow ups

Most handgun ammo is designed and tested with full length barrels (normally 5" or longer). Now days the trend is shorter more concealable handguns 4" or shorter so the hollow points don't expand well if at all then add in hair clogging the hollow point and it turns into an FMJ. I'm not a big fan of hollow points i have seen them fail to expand many times. The best designed bullet I have found that delivers the most shock has been a semi flat point or as it was originally called a truncated cone hard cast lead no copper jacket.
