Hey, this is a great idea ! I am probably one of the newest site members , I live in western Pa.and have been hunting with a handgun for 25 yrs. My first gun was a Interarms Virginian Dragoon in 44 mag, boy I missed a lot of deer with that gun. I traded it for a Magniport custom 44 mag Super Blackhawk with a 4 5/8 bl from Larry Kelly and I started to bring home the game. I also got my first Contender, a Super 14" 223 barrel with the biggest scope you could get then, a Burris 7x, what a rig , I shot 150 groundhogs the first season.
That was awhile ago, I have had a lot of guns since then,
S&W 4" model 57
S&W 6" model 57 in nickle
Contender 14" 35 Rem, 10" 30/30, 14" 30/30,10" 45/410 vr,
X-p 100 custom 14" 7-08
Ruger Redhawk 41 mag 5.5" ss w/ pro point
Magnum Research Lone Eagle in 358 Win,
AAHH then the Encore came out and that changed everything .
I bought a ss in 15" 270 Win.
16" 7mm mag
13" 221 Fireball that I put a 10x-40x 50mm Tasco Varmint scope on .
15" 280 Ackley improved,
15.5" 375 H&H mag
14" 35 Whelen
15" 300 Win mag
Ruger Super Redhawk 480 7.5 Target Grey w/ Pro Point
and my newest backup gun a Vaquero 3" 45 colt in polished stainless Birds Head,
Those are some of my hunting guns ,not a lot but they keep me busy reloading and keeps my neighbors complaining about the noise.
