Hello, My name is John, Im 45 and live in Western, Mass, I just discovered this forum and decided to join up, I have never pistol hunted but am going to give it a try this year, We are quite over run with Bear here and in this state, surprisingly, you can use pistol for Bear.

I have had about a ten year hiatus from the shooting sports so it should be interesting, I learned to shoot both pistol and rifle as a young boy and carried it on through to be a fanatical collector of both especially older Colts. I have hunted, and just plain shot extensively with bow ,rifle, and shotgun throughout the years, which brought me into reloading and the construction of my own hundred yard range for testing.

I will probably use one of my Bisleys or maybe Vaqueros in 45 colt, But I have my eye on a 629, both a classic and a stealth hunter, so we'll see....surprisingly it would be my first ever 44 Mag
