My dad is now like...top 10 best dads in Illinois
I came home from work and he asked me:
"J, if i was to buy a Glock, what caliber would you want?" Oh yea and he's buying one too. I told him that I would prefer a glock 21 because i miss my .45, but he's going for a 20 in 10mm for animal attacks. (They are quiet common in our line of work). but im so happy that im getting a pistol again. gaaa! and hyper.

10mm? Expensive

If I were you, I'd avoid 10mm. Nobody shoots that caliber anymore, for good reason. Also, what advantage does 10mm have against animals? .45 seems to make more sense.
And if you're going to get a Glock 21, I'd consider the SF model instead of the regular model. The regular G21 is pretty fat and hard to grip, unless you have huge hands. |

And what kind of animal? A bear? A wolf? I mean, several shots from a 9mm in quick succession would stop most animals that aren't huge things and the sound alone would scare them off.

What about a feral hog? I hate them, if you´re in the woods, they are a problem. The farmers don´t go out without a .44 or .45.

We thought about 9x19mms, but my dad personally doesnt like them. i was thinking about the SF model and we heard that the 10 mm can take down larger animals (like hogs, which charged my dad while he was out of town).

wow. Everybody should be congratulating him and telling him what a great dad he has instead of nitpicking his choice of caliber. I've seen plenty of 10mm for sale in my neck of the woods by the way. Can't speak for Illinois however.

Then get a shotgun. Nothing stops a charging animal better than a 12 gauge. Or get a rifle.
