Wanted to properly introduce myself here. My name is Jon from Kalispell, MT and I have only handgun hunted one time before and really enjoyed it, but never followed through with keeping on top of it. I have been a bowhunter and rifle hunter for some time, but because of a left shoulder injury, bowhunting is or will be a thing of the past.

I have loved Big Bore rifles like the ol 45-70 and enjoy shooting the Marlin Guide Gun, but after purchasing my new found Ruger SBH in .44 Magnum, I believe I have found a new love and find myself looking at a longer barreled handgun for properly scoping and hunting with.

Gary you got a great site here, and I hope I can learn alot from all you very experienced handgun hunters, as well as I hope I can add some things as well.

I look forward to much good reading here, because you just can't find any good magazines out there that just deal with "Handgun Hunting" nor can I find any DVD's with just "Handgun Hunting" on them.

Well as you can see I like to talk alot, wait a minute I mean write alot too.

You all have a good one!
