RE: Your Favorite Handgun
For night time critter busting my Springfield XD 40 tactical with Trijicons gets the nod. For all around carrying and shooting critters my Taurus Tracker 357 gets the nod. I have shot 3 coyotes in the last month with the Taurus. It is a very accurate lil revolver that is light and carries like a dream.

RE: Your Favorite Handgun
My favorite one today is my lightly customized Ruger Bisley SS in 45 Colt. That is because it is Deer season.
My last to part with would be my Springfield 1911. I just have too much elbow grease in that one to give it up!

RE: Your Favorite Handgun
The LAST one you'd get out of my hands is my S&W model 29-2.... It's been about every place i've been hunting for weeks at a time, and many times it was the only gun i carried. (includeing on this afternoons deer hunt)
It's also won a drawer full of metals for me in the off season competitions i've entereduseing it.

RE: Your Favorite Handgun
DM. Thats the line of thought I had. Mine may be a Taurus but the 44 Mag does it all. Its light enough to carry full time and versitile enough for any situation that may arise.. I also have the Bisley Hunter in 44 Mag that would be a better just hunting gun but not so packable.
I have a strong desire for a 480 Ruger as well. Maybe soon. At least the 44's will do the job. One gun I wish I would have kept is a 5 Inch S&W Classic revolver that I used to hunt with a lot. If one becomes effecient with a good revlover, the 44 Mag would really be all he would need to hunt NA. Its often been done.

My contender chambered in 30-30 for hunting and my buckmark 22 for just a day of plinking for $ 8.00 still great fun and economical and still helps with proper form for my larger pistols w/out beating myself up.
