I knew no other way.....my first gun ever was a Colt Series 70 45acp then a Python then a S&W 1955 45acp (there was a S&W 22 Kit Gun in there somewhere)...I was a paper puncher who enjoyed reading Jeff Cooper and was about to really get into Bullseye Shooting... Then one day my boss asked me to go deer hunting with him in Pennsylvania and I told him I did not own a rifle. He replied that it was no problem because Pennsylvania allowed handguns for deer....Got a Sportsman Carry for Penn. and bought some Winchester 158gr JHP and never looked back....It was my 13th deer that I finally shot with a rifle.....Always remember how easy it was using the rifle compared to a handgun...Never meet anyone who started out like me....
