I have always liked hunting with "different weapons" and picking up a rifle hasn't been as fun for me in years but I love the craftsmanship in a good firearm. I used a bow for years but now that my career and life in in full swing, kids and everything else that comes with it, I have limited field time. I wanted to expand my range and success more then with a bow but still not use a rifle. Now I find a good purpose built and designed handgun far more interesting and entertaining to take into the field then a rifle.
