So today I managed to get a coyote at 20yds with my xd 45. I drove in to make a stand and as I was getting ready to get out of my truck a saw a yote 20yds away in the sage. I jumped out pull my pistol and shot. The whole time the yote was just looking at me funny. Well when I shot he disappered and I caught movement to the right as four more ran away up a hill. I scambled and got the 243 out and shot another then missed the last three. Well I have to say a 230gr pdx1 is nasty on coyotes is knocked the yote into a bush and tore it up pretty good.

that's great! i have taken 7 with a handgun. its always a blast to shoot anything with a handgun. let alone a yote

love the xd/xdm's almost bought a xdm 45 a few weeks ago. to go with the xdm 40. i love the PDX round! great bullet,hard hitting,great weight retention.

Congrats on the handgun coyote, haven't taken one myself(haven't tried bad eyes need a scope) but years ago took a few fox with my 357 S&W and 45 Star PD.

ya think a 44's bad howa about a 12 gauge on one. some how a slug got mixed in with the shot. luckily it was on the ground. kinda suprised with the kick didnt think much about it then i saw the squirrel uh oh lol

That is exciting, getting one with a pistol. I put a red dot on my old revolver that I used to compete with, eyes are not as good as they once were. I was planning on using it for close up coyotes. You are getting me thinking about taking it out with me now. Nice shooting!

Very cool - I have been thinking about trying that instead of a shotgun. I've been getting them to come inside 15yds lately. That may even be close enough for ME to hit one! Not like the damn beer bottles that jump all over the place!

demontang · « **Reply #15 on:** November 29, 2010, 12:02:21 PM »

lol yeah I was kind of suprised I hit him but I have shot a lot at 20yds plus with my pistol. Ive seen it in a few places that if you get shooting past the 20ft range down then its way easy for up close self defense.

:)That is way cool! I carry every day and have gotten a couple coyotes and a few rockchucks. It is a much more realistic target than any other.
