I have mixed emotions about chasing records as I believe it diminishes the purity of what we do. For me at least, every animal taken with a short barreled handheld device is a trophy. Besides, SCI already keeps records (if submitted) if that is what someone desires.

That said, if you are going to talk about experts, I would add Rey Garza, a man whose findings have contributed to getting us where we are today, and our very own James, who has probably taken more game with a handgun than most of those listed above. I have had the pleasure of sharing camp with both of those gentlemen, and feel I am better for the experience. Not to take away from anyone else mentioned.
