Congrats for sure! First deer I ever shot was with a handgun 1980 something. A little spike, but none the less a trophy taken with a wheel gun. IMHO just seems so much more of a challenge with a wheelgun than with a rifle. I got flustered some years back and got on the TC and XP wagon. That got back to ranges I was shooting with a rifle though. Stay after it! Just seems so much easier to grab a revolver and a few boxes of ammo, than to drag a rifle and the rest of the gear. Once again good job. Jeff

Congrats trademark.
Jsh, my plan is to get a Contender or Encore pistol eventually but i sure am enjoying toting a wheel gun around.

Nice shooting! Thanks for sharing your hunt. Hand hunting can be addictive. I shot my first deer with a hand gun in 2001. The gun was a then new 480 SRH.

AWESOME!!! Congratulations to you, Joe... That's a fine lookin buck and, taking it with the short gun makes it even more rewarding! There's NOTHING quite as rewarding as taking game with the handgun. Its like bow hunting and rifle/muzzle loader hunting and hunting with a sling shot all rolled up into one But, EVEN BETTER! NOTHING compares to taking game, Especially big game with the Short Gun, period!!! IMHO of course Your bullet worked Purrrfectly to and, looks like a magazine ad. Enjoy them good vittles and, thank you for sharing the hunt with Us... Ray BigBore44

Congrats, Joe. Good shooting there, and the recovered bullet is really cool. I hope to get a chance with my .480 SBH soon. I'm still working a few details out with it.
Thanks for sharing your story!
