Commercial support doesn't have to be a bad thing, and a spike in popularity brought us cartridges like the .480 Ruger, .500 Smith & Wesson, .460, etc.




It is just the opposite. Great things don't need to be promoted. If it is truly good, it will withstand the measure of time.


Well, Frank, I expected a contrary opinion from you, but to each his own. But if you think that keeping it all underground is somehow going to keep it alive, I think you are very wrong. Like that it may survive, and it may not. The odds aren't very good. Handgun hunting needs to be supported by those who do it on a grassroots level by turning more people on to it, and it certainly helps if the gun media sheds light on it to show other more conventional hunters that it is not a stunt. Manufacturers in the industry will support it as well when they see that there is a need to be fulfilled. How can any of that be bad for handgun hunting?
