From the Ohio DNR Hunting Regulations.
Hunters may use: "a handgun with a 5-inch minimum length barrel, using straight-walled cartridges .357 caliber or larger….â€
I called for clarification and got, "well.. whatever the book say's."
Wouldn't that mean that one could use a 5" 1911 in .45acp, or Glock .40, etc? Wouldn't they be considered to be straight-walled.
I haven't hunted deer with a handgun in years, but I believe the regs used to specifically state that a 5" or longer revolver in .357, .41mag, .44mag and .45Colt were the only combo's allowed.
