Sorry, this post is a bit of topic, but I have, and CC, a 6" Springfield TRP in 10mm. Absolutely love it, and plan on hunting with it. But there is NO WAY, on THIS GREEN EARTH, that I would chase the big 5 with it.

Under a jacket, in a holster from Milt Sparks, it can't be seen. I had an ill-fitting holster for it while the Milt Sparks was being made last summer while I was at Wyshot, and I should have just done without and not carried it for those few weeks. That Fobus holster I used temporarily was a horrible fit for it. But the Milt Sparks is perfect in every way. (Horse hide trimmed in Shark.)

The 10mm will be good medicine for bears and lions around here, and I'm sure it serves as a GREAT deterrent to bad guys when seen in open carry also. But Big 5-- no way.
