The state I live in is backward. For some reason we can't hunt with semi-auto handguns.............

I'm kinda digging it for some reason! Model 22 set up for +P ammo. 6" Min Spec chamber, 22lbs captive spring on a SS guide rod, trigger set at 2lbs, 2X scope, frame squared, titanium plunger and more I can't remember at the moment. 2.5" groups at 100 yards. 180grs XTP a bit over 1200fps. This deer was shot at 71 yards. The 6" tube makes a huge difference in velocity on these guns. Now the bad: the scope mount just unnerves me. I am probably getting a Carver. It shot great but I didn't trust it enough to keep it on the gun. The Carver is much more stable. |

Guess they never saw what a .475 WFN bullet does on its way through a critter. I wish there was more common sense involved in handgun hunting laws. |

NEVER,EVER TRY TO ASSIGN LOGIC TGO GOVERNMENT!! True! Tn used to have restrictions on big game hunting with handguns that you must have a 4" barrel and a minimum of .24 bore size. By that logic a 3" barrel .44 Magnum was illegal and a .25 ACP with a 4" barrel was fine. They finally got some schooling by a real handgun hunter. Problem solved but only when they brought in a non-government party to help them. |

I was told that the .357 Sig isn't allowed in some states that allow auto's.
They require a minimum bore diameter of .357" Since the .357 Sig is actually .355 it is a no no.
No deer shot with mine has taken a step. It seems deer don't know it is .002" too small. lol

My state has minimum case length regulations which disqualifies most autoloaders. When they first allowed handgun deer hunting, I bought my 5 1/2” 41 mag bisley to use. The next year they put a minimum barrel length of 5 3/4”. I still use it, and have never had a problem.
