Found this quote in a cabelas forum...thought you guys might have fun with this!
"A handgun is a handgun! These guys that are taking big and dangerous game with the now tremendous calibers which we have are fooling themselves! Handguns of any cliber are short range weapons! Even the 500, the 454, and the 460 are all short range weapons.
The Contenders, and the "such like" are not really "handguns" - they are an insult to a real handgunner! The 44 magnum is adequate for any handgunning - I have a 454 and hardly ever use it - I've fired the 500 and wasn't too impressed with it.
50 yards is the farthest range ANY game should be shot with any hndgun - all other "stories" are just that - storys!"

maybe Harry would like to stand out at 200yds while I shoot at him with my big bores, after all if he's right I can't hit him and if I do it will just bounce off and fall to the ground.

Wow, sounds like someone fell off the turnip truck a little too hard. Even though this is only my 3rd season of big game handgun hunting, I know that with a good rest my Bisley Hunter & I could harvest deer at a 100 yards.

I'm glad I'm still a noob at handgun hunting, and not an expert like ol' harry. That 9 pt buck I took last week at 80 yds woulda got away, if I had known earlier that all my practice past 50 yds was just a waste of time.

Harry, you have NO IDEA what you're missin out on. But that's okay. You probably limit your rifle to 75 yards too.
Obviously your shooting skills SUCK!!!!

.....and if I had a dollar for every time I was told "you can't kill a deer with a handgun".

Hey Whit I think you need to grab your 50AK and I'll bring the Lott and we'll take Harry shooting

LOL I wish I had a dollar every time I heard the above statement since I started using Speciality Pistols in 1982. Obviously ole Harry B has been spreading the word. Man I feel sorry for ole Harry B, he really needs to get a grip on things as he doesn't have a clue. Larry

https://forums.cabelas.com/showthread.php?t=17718&page=2It never ceases to amaze me just how clueless some people are. I find it hard to believe that Harry is that stupid - my guess is that he is just a troll.

Harry just is not converted yet. Three years ago if you would have told me that I would be able to hit a 4 inch plastic disc at 200 yards, or a 16 inch steel gong at 300 yards with my .44 mag Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter I would have told you that you were mad, but I've done it. Maybe he is from Missouri, and we need to show him.

I have been practicing out to 170 yards with my open sighted .45 Super and I can gurantee you that he doesn't want me shooting at him. Hopefully he will either learn a little more about handgun hunting or allow us our way of doing it. reflex264
