Super Redhawk 454 Casull is a great hunting revolver.
A powerful revolver is a versatile hunting handgun. This woman is a great hunter.
Il Ling New , Jeff Cooper, Elmer Keith , Ross Seifred, and some others are smiling on you ! I am,too! You been there,done that,got the tee shirt!.
More than 30 years ago I hunted with an American gentleman who had a Thompson Contender in a .460 necked down to a .375. I cannot recall the barrel length but it had a fearsome recoil and left many bloody faces and broken noses behind. This gentleman hunted everything with his TC, including Rhino and Buffalo. He never used "sticks" and I cannot remember him ever missing a shot.

@@hendrikvandeventer7669 I'm Sorry Hendrick, But the above was about handgun hunting so I falsely assumed you were talking about the 460 S&W necked down. If this guy you don't remember. actually had a "Contender" in a wildcat based on the 460 Weatherby cartridge? Im quite sure the "many bloody faces" came from the barrel letting go, if not the entire unit, shrapnel being the culprit. While you didnt specify what 460 in your post, you did say, Contender.

@@kevintlachac4109 The handgun was a TC and it was a .460 necked down to a .375 and the bloody faces were caused by the recoil with the barrel wacking the shooter in the face across the nose and the forehead. I fired it a couple of times and even at 6'4' and plus 240 fit lbs with your elbows not locked and a proper grip it was a violent recoil and only fired it after watching the owner and a couple of unfortunate PH's.

@@hendrikvandeventer7669 I thank you for the clarification
Love seeing the ladies on the "Hunting Scene"!! Does Il Ling New have a sister??
Max Prasac has written a great book on Hunting Handgun Revolvers produced by Gun Digest. I highly recommend it.
Very nicely done.Lots of hard work and hours put in for a successful hunt.Many people underestimate what a powerful revolver can do,but with proper shot placement and the right bullet,they are capable of taking anything on earth.Not my first choice for stopping a charge but it can be done like Lynn Thompson showed in Australia.

A hand gun in Zimbabwe is a fire arm with a barrel length of 18" and below
The horn boss was soft and a bull will, of some advanced age, have a hardened area in the middle of the head between the sweeping horns. That is what they are looking for in a big Cape Buffalo.
a lady, a handgun and a buffalo, that doesn’t get better from my point of view.
This not hunting, this is crime you people should be jailed.
It's a nice plinker !

Pistol?!?!
Too bad she didn't have the 9 1/2" barrel. I sold my first one then they discontinued it. I seen one at the gun shop and bought it on site.
Still a PISTOL !!
What did she pay to trophy hunt?
Great job thanks for sharing!!!
It's not a pistol, it's a revolver
Useless !
