I went on my first handgun hunt here in AZ this spring. Nothing big and dangerous - Javelina - but I'm hooked. I used my Ruger Blackhawk 45LC and got a broadside shot at 40-50 yards. That little desert pig didn't go far. Here is my .45:  This summer I saw a revolver that had an acid eched elk and deer on the cylinder. The owner had them put on for each animal he got with the revolver. I liked the idea so much I engraved a Javelina on the cylinder of mine to mark my first handgun hunt.

Some people claim that the packs of javelina are very dangerous. I've taken a half dozen or so and haven't seen any sign of danger. Some people down here claim to have been attacked though. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||

The etched javi came out good! I like that idea "Let me start off with two words: Made in America" | |||

Very nice....and as you have learned javelina are perfect game to hunt with a revolver. My Blackhawk has taken its share. I really like the engraved cylinder idea....  "When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all." Theodore Roosevelt | |||

OH, I like that and that you are handgun hunting. I have to ask what you will do when you run out of room on the gun from all animals you will shoot? | |||

My plan is to get another Ruger 45LC - this time a Ruger Bisley 45LC. Then I'll have 2 cylinders to engrave. Lance Lance Larson Studio lancelarsonstudio.com | |||

Riodot, My first handgun hunt was also on the AZ HAM hunt, and I also used a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt. I guess great minds really do think alike. A Speer 225gr HP and a heary dose of W296 did the job. That was 32 years ago. That eching on the cylinder is an interesting idea, never saw that before. | |||
