About a year ago,, a member here,, (sixshot) had a handgun hunting trip to Africa. One of the animals he took was a Cape Buffalo. His telling of his trip is worth the read if possible. (I think he posted it here,, but I know he posted it elsewhere.)
I've never been to Africa to hunt,, so I'm going off what sixshot mentioned. He made a comment about handguns must have at least an 8" or 8-1/2" bbl to be legal there. (I can't recall exactly.) Have you gotten the ok to use that Ruger as I think it has the 7-1/2" bbl? JUST asking POLITELY as I'd hate to hear you got there & wasn't allowed to use that handgun!
