and get an e-mail to me next week with the names and e-mail addresses of the hunters. I will be getting with Lauri, John's wife, and she will get several forms to me for you to look over, fill out and e-mail back to her.

Each of you will need a passport but you have plenty of time for that if you don't have one already. No visas or shots required in South Africa.

John will get me a list of the animals available and the prices. You will be getting a form asking you what animals you would like to hunt. This does not hold you to these animals and most of the time people change their minds when they get to Africa. The list you give John is just so he knows roughly what you would like to hunt. From time to time some animals get on the endangered list and are not available. In all my hunts only monkeys and baboons have ended up on that list from time to time but they are not readily available where we are going.

There is a lot more info to give you but I will send that in e-mails once we get going. If you have a friend that would like to go along, have them get with me while we have some openings left. I know of 2 men that say they want to go so we are already well over half full. Any questions, feel free to get with me.

I was looking through a few of the Africa pics

and most hunters were behind animals. My question is what revolvers were taken as a backup?

none. The law there on revolvers is they have to

have at least an 8" barrel and scope mounted.

A good reason to have one built I guess

Sort of validates my 9.5" Super Redhawk in .429 GNR.

I guess Gary does the .45's in .455 too? Not sure at what point you have to go 5-shot custom. But the platform makes a fine .410 or .429 GNR 6-shooter. I use HKS speedloaders for the .454 with mine. Handy way to keep ammo.

Also the "Scoped TC Contender/Encore" holsters that Gary designed and sells fit the Super Redhawk perfectly.

I'm thinking a Ruger SBH Hunter with the

already 7-1/2" bbl lengthened to 8-1/2" with one of those short compensators Gary builds attached to the end. Might actually help keep the muzzle rise down a bit too.

Wonder what crafty A-hole picked 8"? Must have gun smarts.

Too bad you can't count from the back of the cylinder or stick a rod down the bore to measure! I wonder if there is a loophole there someplace?

they never looked at our handguns. They know NOTHING

about guns. They asked where the serial number was and compared it to the serial number on our customs sheet. They never touched the guns and my gut feeling is if your revolver is 7½" it will pass. But it does have to have a scope on it.
