Reporting for roll call!

You guys (gender non-specific) have been really cool with my newbie posts, so I'll introduce myself in case anyone wonders who they're talking to.

My name is Mark. I live in Palominas, AZ approx. 1000 yards from Mexico. My only hunting experience is one squirrel with a 20 ga. At 51, I thought it was time to actually try some hunting. I thought I would try whitetails to start. I like shootin handguns and own a 1911 and a GP 100.


I bought a Savage .270 and started to learn whatever I could. It is my first
centerfire rifle, but it is really east to shoot. Work travel will interfere with deer season, so that's out.

I may move to Florida later this year, so I am interested in hunting wild pigs there. I want to get a Blackhawk for the boars, but until then I will practice with the GP.

Basically, I am looking for a new handgun for hunting and learning whatever I can. Watch out, I'm full of questions!
