I don't care what pistol some northern European country issues their ski patrols. They also issue them rifles. Noting is going to make me knock my brains out and forget what I've learned from nearly 40yrs of actually killing stuff with handguns.
Razor Dobbs is a stunt hunter. He does stupid things with the 10mm in an effort to make a name for himself. I know lots of guys who've taken Cape buff with handguns and NONE used a 10mm. Why? Because it's stupid. Check back with us when that's YOU in the picture.

Craig C, I made a comment, in a similar thread, about, a handgun being so big, it defeated the purpose of a handgun. You ask if I had ever hunted, truly big game, with a handgun, cape buffalo, etc. Well the answer is no, I have not. You pointed out, there was a use for such big handguns. I believe a lot of people, myself included, get hung up on their favorite caliber and see it as a do all, any location, any game caliber. For sure, that is not the case. People need to understand, the great .44 Special or that new 10mm 1911, will not take the place of or do the job, a 500 S&W would do on really large game animals. I guess it's like getting stuck in a rut, it works here, so it will work anywhere. Unless people are willing to think outside the box, their location and the size game, they hunt, as compared to what others hunt, you are peeing in the wind, trying to explain, your experience, with big bore handguns on large game. You pointing this out to me opened my eyes, to the fact, such large heavy handguns do have their place.
