When I went to the Sunshine state with some friends I took four handguns. My Gary Reeder tuned SP 101 for self defense. My Gary Reeder redone Ruger Single Six for small game and snakes. My Dad's M29 which Gary rebuilt but did not use for anything and my lucky gun as Dad called it, the 4570 Contender whom Gary had reblued, engraved with a moose and put in a port too lessen the hand slamming.
I wanted a gun that could be used for field use and self defense along with the main hunting gun.
Mr. Taffin's article sold me on it. The accuracy and the reliability were the paramount features of the gun.
I can see myself this fall hunting deer and black bear with the Ruger 10 as a side arm. Seriously I have been thinking of a NH black bear hunt and since you get a deer tag with it, go for deer in the month of November with muzzleloader and gun if you do not tag one with the muzzle loader.
I hate to say it but Mom ended up in the hospital 3x in the past two to three weeks. I am not sure if I can go on trips that are more than a day drive with Mom's health issues. You have no idea how worried I was when Mom was in the hospital and I was in New Smyrna Beach FLA.
