Okay what I need is 9mm Luger ammo that can break the shoulders on a black bear or mtn lion and also penetrate the heavy canvas coat of an armed rabid marijuana grower. So is the nature of my work. I shoot a Sig P6...
I am thinking: Federal Tactical bonded 135 grain +p Buffalo Bore 147 grain +p what else????????? |

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I'd wanna leave it up to a 9mm to kill a black bear or a mountain lion. Call me crazy

Are you the same guy that posted a few days ago asking about what 9mm is best for grizzly?
A 9mm might kill a black bear eventually, but absent a miracle not before he's made you his chew toy. In black bear county for defense I wouldn't go with less than a 158gr FMJ/JSP .357 out of at least a 4" barrel. If you have no choice but the 9mm then the heaviest, hottest FMJ you can find... but don't bet on it. "I am a Soldier. I fight where I'm told and I win where I fight." GEN George S. Patton, Jr. |

Call me crazy,but my advice is for you to stay out of the woods,you will live longer!
They make proper firearms for the task you set but 9-mm ain't it. |

124 grain would be minimum. If your P6 will handle 147grain stuff absolutely reliably then go with that. The 124 and 147 grn hollowpoints will probably work on a mountain lion. 124 grain fmj well placed may work on a bear but don't bet the farm on it. A short 12 ga. loaded with slugs will do nicely. A Mossy or Remmy pump or one of the current import sideXside "coach guns" would work too.
