You'll get to the point where you carry a long gun and wonder what the neck you were thinking.... Every time I carry anything other than a handgun I regret it lol.... I usually carry a contender in whatever caliber suits the game and my 1911 45 super and it still carries better than my ar-15 even with the super 14 223 barrel... As for other handgunners around here they are either on this site or my dad lmao and he doesnt handgun hunt anymore he prefers efficiency not challenge though back in the days of the smoothbore slug gun he always carried the contender that I have now since it was a better killer at longer ranges than the old foster slugs... And the guys at work seem surprised every time I kill something with one of my pistols though since they are all big bow hunters I don't know why... Cause I carry more heat
