    Barrel length for handguns in South Africa?

    Hello Visited Sa 5 times for handgun hunting with a 5,5"bbl Ruger vaquero bisley. Iron sight and .45C caliber. Temporary permits ready by Ph, police was only interested of the serial number. No ammo check, just numbers and out in 5minutes. This between 2013 and 2019. My 2c TimoJ

    What traits have you picked up from your Professional Hunter?

    In Limpopo looking up after seeing a big leopards track. What is go-away bird, after 3 days ruined gnu hunting. Giraffes are shaky, can cause panic in a second and then return to see nothing happened. Most important, learned that a good laugh can make cloudy days better. My 2c TimoJ

    Favorite above .40 Revolver cartridge?

    .45Colt Ruger Bisley 5" built with Bowen parts. John Linebaughs recipe for hunting= 328grain lead Fp with H110 load. Enough for my wrists and most animals too. . .41mag , recoil alot sharper due to different grip. Could be used for hunting too, very accurate. My 2c
