    Handgun hunting magazine

    This might have been addressed before but is there a magazine worth reading that is devoted to handgun hunting? I have seen all the tactical rifle articles in today's magazines to last me a life time. That is fine for those shooters who are into that sort of rifle/handgun/shotgun but there are plenty of magazines and articles devoted to that to keep everyone who is interested happy.

    J.D. Jones , SSK owner, used to publish the SIXGUNNER . I wrote 3 or 4 articles for him during the 80s about
    handgun hunting here in Alaska. One was about a brown bear that I took with my S&W M 29, and another
    was about a 40” Dall sheep that I got with my Ruger Redhawk.
    John Linebaugh published a magazine for a short time, that included some handgun hunting articles.
    I don,t know of any current publications that are devoted to handgun hunting.

    I assume you've read American Handgunner and don't like the articles in that?

    I have and it is ok, but it's been a long time ago and I am looking for something more devoted to revolvers and hunting oriented. I guess that is maybe too specialized to devote an entire magazine to it. Handloader has Layne Simpson and Brian Pearce who are handgun hunters and great writers in their own right as is Mike Vinturino although he has about given up hunting. He is a dedicated caster and a wealth of info as well. The Rifle side of Wolf has slipped a bit IMHO.
    As I think about it now, It is hard to beat this site for accurate reading about real life hunting experiences and handguns with cast boolits.

    Mark Hampton writes the Handgun Hunting column for American Handgunner. He does hunt with handguns all over the world, but mostly with bolt action and break action guns chambered for rifle calibers. Totally helpful if you want to hunt Ibex in Tajikistan with an Encore in 308. Not much use for those using revolvers, handloaded ammo with cast, chasing critters in the US.

    Maybe they could start a sub-forum on here just for that purpose?

    Look up HHI. They’ve started producing the ‘Sixgunner’ again. Eat of all you can get the magazine sent to your email for free. It’s good reading because it’s written by the members.
