Oh yes, It's a good shooter. It will look better once I get the slide milled for the red dot and put the Talon rubber grips on. I think the dovetail sight adapter mount is a little high and looks a little kludgy. I believe in pretty much every state allows handgun hunting here. There are specific firearms seasons, and most also have minimum caliber restrictions for large game. I can't think of any that restrict on handgun vs. rifle, as long as minimum caliber is met. Someone may correct me, but if so, it could only be one or two. Of course there is additional hassle in the form of background checks, etc. for purchasing handguns here, but if you can legally own one, you can generally hunt with it.

Hmm, interesting. Here if a person was to be caught hunting with a handgun they would be in a lot of trouble. It's a federal offence.
I use my handguns for competition/sporting shooting. IPSC mainly.

It's very common for people to hunt squirrels, rabbits, and other small game here with .22 pistols and such. Also very common for folks here to carry large caliber pistols into the woods when camping or hiking for self-defense of Bears, Mountain Lions, and Coyotes.
Certainly wouldn't want to be hunting deer or large game with a 9mm, but many pistols can shoot rifle calibers, just with shorter barrel and slight loss of velocity. Doesn't make much technical sense to restrict pistol just because pistol. I certainly agree with minimum caliber and power ratings to ensure a clean, humane kill. I don't really hunt anymore, but still love to target shoot. Guess I won't be moving there anytime soon!
