A Colt Diamondback .22 accounted for my first trophy animal with a handgun in 1999, a huge field mouse. I opened the door on a target shed at the range as I was preparing for the rest of the group to show up and he showed himself. I went back to the truck to grab my Colt, but he had vanished. I picked up a target backer and as I spun around to set it out, he shot out the end onto the dirt path that lead towards the range. I was able to hit him at about 7 yards. I was hooked. Later on the same year, a whitetail doe with a Colt Anaconda 8 inch 45LC, 45 yards as she was bedded.
