Thread: Latest Lust of my Life

If we were allowed to go handgun hunting then the the .44 Magnum is a perfect choice. Nothing in NZ will keep going after a well placed shot up to 100 metres, cheaper to buy the gun, cheaper to feed, and a lot more pleasant to shoot.

As the instigator and author of the original presentation that was made to the Police and NZ Pistol Assn many years ago, I am sadly dissapointed that it has not come to pass.

Good on ya for giving it a go.

Someday it may happen.

PNZ doesn't represent All Pistol clubs and I personally know members of several non affiliated Pistol clubs as well as PNZ members that would love to legally hunt with a handgun.

After all if they are deemed to be Fit an proper to hold a "B" endorsement it surely follows that they will also likely be responsible Handgun Hunters.

In the meantime those 200m silhouettes should be afraid ....... very afraid.

I would love to be able to hunt with a handgun as well but I can see a lot of issues if it was allowed, especially on public land.

It should be revolvers only, for my own sake
