It’s safe to assume you won’t have time to reload during a wild animal attack. You will not “take cover” during a fight with a black bear or mountain lion. That’s why it’s so important to make the first mag count, which you can do by loading it with Hornady Backcountry Defense.

This round compensates for the 9mm Luger’s physical limitations in a couple big ways. First, it is overpressure (+P), and loaded with a heavy 138 grain projectile that delivers over 400 ft lbs striking energy at the muzzle. Second, it is loaded with a Dangerous Game Handgun projectile, which has a protected point that locks its core’s nose to its jacket. Its special nose profile prevents the DGH from mushrooming after impact, which in turn helps it tunnel deeper. It’s added assurance you’ll be able to pierce the cur’s natural defenses and hopefully put some metal in its ventricles.
