shoot clays with a handgun? skeet shooting with a 12 guage - yes - but never with a pistol...

 

Get yourself an 870 Express, and you should be happy enough with it.

If not the Remington, get a Mossberg. The Remington is a little bit better made, but the Mossberg will save you a few bucks, and both will perform well.

 

hey just stopin in for a little advise on a firearm purchase i would like to make, i know i could go to the gun shop and ask them but i would like some first hand advise first, im a hunter as so are some of you guys and im looking for a handgun that would suit my needs in the outdoors, preferable something powerful, so before i go to the shop to buy one, what do you suggest, if anyone has first hand experience please share. im looking to actually use this as my primary on a few hunts to see if i like the challenge.

 

If you plan on hunting with a revolver, you should get something like a .454 Casull, or a .460 Magnum, or .500SW You don't want to hunt with much less than that. Ruger, SW, Colt, and Taraus make nice revolvers, you should check them out.

 

i wish i didnt have bail restrictions.....

 

i thought about the .500sw, but i was just looking for some insight before i commited myself to going to buy one

 

Aside from finding the ammo for the .500sw (I suggest you handload anyway) and the elbow=shattering recoil, the .500sw is amazing.

 

If you get the .500 S&W, you can get better aftermarket grips and I think S&W sells a special shooting glove to help handle the recoil.

 

Ok, CLX, you have me convinced.

My current pistol wish list:

.357 Desert Eagle
45 ACP Sig or Glock 21
Walther P99 (after I sell off my Ruger)
