Hunting handguns.

[Mr. 16 gauge]

I have three main handguns that I use as hunting handguns.....a Colt Trooper MkIII in .357 mag, a S&W M29 in .44 mag, and a Ruger MkI in .22 LR. The revolvers each sport 6" barrels, and I've taken sheep & deer with the .357 and a sheep and boar with the .44. I've taken rabbits with the .22, and I hope to use it for squirrels in the future. The only modifications I've done with the revolvers is to add pachymar grips; the .22 has wood grips and target sights added to it.

However, I almost always have some type of sidearm on me while hunting; this past weekend it was my S&W M39 in 9mm while grouse hunting up north.....not a 'main' weapon, but it would have come in handy for any coyotes (two legged or four legged) that crossed my path!
