The Big Hitters of Handgun Hunting

The right bullet loaded in the right big-bore handgun can deliver the news to even the biggest game with just as much authority as a rifle.

Behind the Bullet: .44 Remington Magnum

While there are many classic wheelgun calibers that date back to the late 19th century—the .44-40 and .45 Colt foremost among them—the relatively modern .44 Rem.

Hardware: Remington 1911 R1 10mm Hunter Long Slide

The R1 10mm Hunter Long Slide is a good choice for hunting smaller big game. It’s also a great gun for those who work outdoors and carry a handgun. This is a gun that can handle without compromise a wide range of issues: injured livestock, pest control, hunting opportunities or personal defense.

Hardware: Glock G40 Gen4 MOS

Until recently Glock pistols were viewed as guns for military, law enforcement, personal defense and competitive shooting. While many of these semi-automatic handguns were capable of being used in the field for hunting, most Glock owners never seriously considered them for that purpose. That has now changed with the introduction of the Gen4 MOS (Modular Optic System) pistols. The standout for hunting among the four Glock MOS models is the G40 Gen4 MOS chambered in 10mm Auto.
