I guess I am a freak. I don't have a favorite hunting

handgun. For years I hunted with a 44 and a 41 Auto Mag.





My love before and after the Auto Mags was S&W revolvers, chambered in 41 GNR.


About that time we started going on hunts out of state and out of country to Africa and Australia so my handgun choice changed a bit. I was building custom XP-100s and used them on quite a few hunts, mostly out west.




I get bored quite easily so during this phase I hunted quite a bit with a Grizzly in 45 Magnum.


going back to single shot handguns I hunted with Contenders in this country and in Africa.





when the Encore came out I immediately jumped to that in Australia and Africa






the Encore was accurate but heavy. Being a bit lazy I shifted back to the new G-2 in 41 GNR.





But even though I took a lot of critters with that 41 GNR in the G-2 I still missed my revolvers, so I built a couple of custom single actions and used them all over the world. And still do.







I guess what goes around comes around.
