Yea I had a 10mm Kimber awhile back. I didn't really see it as that much better than a 45acp plus p. I have an Ed Brown 45 Executive Target that shoots better than any pistol I've ever had, but I wanted something I didn't mind beating around in the woods with. I find myself being too careful with the Ed Brown.
The Glock or Springfield should fit the bill nicely. Now I just have to see if my new G21 will shoot!I highly doubt it will shoot with my EB, but hunting accuracy, like you said, is a different ballgame. I plan to keep my shots within bow range, so I should be ok.
