Longshot out of a revolver gives pretty good accuracy. Yes, it is louder than 296/H110.

Vitamin D, Ivermectin, red wine or the tablets called Resveratrol, and plenty of tonic water will knock it out in about 3 days. That is even if you have lost all sense of taste and smell.

RIA makes a 10mm 1911 pattern with grips which do not get slick when wet like Glocks do. OK, it is only 8 shot, and has a hammer. Mine is more accurate than I am, but lots of guns are anymore. Price was less than a Hlock when I got mine.

Where the animal is hit seems to make a big difference. Breaking the leg has been a bit more dramatic to me versus passing through the lungs while only breaking 1 rib bone. Not as much experience as many on here have, so my experience is just that. Mine.

Grandmother's farm in the Oklahoma Panhandle when I was a teenager was sort of that way. No other houses for ten miles to the North and the East. All I had at the time was a Ruger semiauto .22 lr, but I shot at some old stuff at around 200 yards as often as possible. Had a lot of fun.

500 yards with a handgun is impressive. 500 yards with a rifle is tougher than most people can truly accomplish, and a handgun has a much shorter sight radius. That handgun must be well made to be capable of such accuracy.
