Looking for a Hunting Handgun?

RUM that a fine looking smith. What type holster do you carry that rig with?

The contender needs a sling to carry to the tree stand, Bi-pod, Scope in the 4 power range, Hammer spur so you can cock the hammer with a scope.

I got the contender before the advances in rifled shotgun barrels and sabot rounds to get better distance in this shotgun/Pistol state. In 35 rem I can hit milk jugs at 150 yards real easy out of my summit treestand with the swivel rest. With the bi-pod I can shoot prone in most corn fields. But try to hit a fast walking deer at 30 feet is a challange.

My smoothbore shotgun was good to about 60 yards on a pie plate. The Contender was great addition increasing effective range 2 fold.

Now i can get 150 yards out of my old shotgun with the sabots and a rifled barrrel. So the contender gets use when i want to go light.
