ok

Yes sir. This video was from 9 years ago. It shoots 1 moa at 100 and I've shot it to 300 with 5" groups. I just haven't video since then. I've taken several deer and hogs with it out to 200 yards.

I have the 45/410 as well. Look on the channel for its specific 410 review.

Thank you

Barrel is not touching the bag, only the forend.

With 40+ years of shooting & hunting experience I've observed that every hunter has a different style & preference of how he / she holds their weapon of choice. As for short and long eye relief scopes on handguns... I have both for a variety of choices in hunting positions. As for a rifle scope on a handgun for hunting, to each his / her own preference. I have 4 boys and they have all shot my scoped handguns and non scoped handguns with no issues, including my scoped .308 from the age of 10 ... they are now 12, 15, 16 &. 21. Handgun hunting is not always, "arms out not arms in and head in"... hunting doesn't always give you that position. But to each his / her own.

true

@@kerrymackeyI just bought a 10mm Dan Wesson Specialist and absolutely love it. Found ammo to be readily available and cheaper than 45acp (Blazer 180gr fmj).

true

It’s free floated. 😜

Not this variation, but Spike uses a modified Contender pistol with an unspecified powerful cartridge in the anime Cowboy Bebop

Not a paid promotion... I have never been paid for any review I've done in the past 20 years.

I believe so... the XT is interchangeable and the. FX is the fixed 209X50

really? show me your exact setup that mirrors mine and how it is patterning for you.

@@kerrymackey I perceived you waving your hands and calling it, "great". Looked wide and far, to me. Small target, turkey head? Not your shooting! The pattern, range, choke, and weapon didn't match what you were saying. To me. I have no exact mirror. Just not in agreement with what you call a "good pattern".

@@Redmenace96 so do you have a 15" T/C Encore Pro Hunter .45/410 pistol that you turkey/squirrel hunt with that has a better pattern? We would be interested in seeing it ... over the past 10 years of pistol hunting and working within the handgun hunting community, we've haven't seen anything so far that exceeds JR's custom work out of this setup. I'm sure others would be interested in seeing your setup and your pattern for turkey / squirrel than what we are seeing with this specific setup.

Something to consider... this is an Encore Pro Hunter frame.

After a little reach I Realize that because of the 15 inch barrel contenders only came in 10 inch or 12 inch that I’ve seen. I’m going to pattern my 10 inch contender and if I’m not happy I’ll hit our man Marty up for the 15 inch barrel. I own a pro hunter as well. Great video!!!

@@BrockLowell good call.

I have both the pro hunter and the G1 now. They both have 1913 sharps grips with SB folding brace topped off with and HOLOSUN 507c X2 pistol red dot with 80,000 hours of life plus it turns itself on and off due to movement. Once my APEX and Nitro company TSS ammo shows up we will see if the standard choke holds up and shoot a nice pattern.....

And your point is what? I would submit for those of us who pattern / group cartridges, reload, etc... are aware of loads, case length, pellet count, etc... I also know from experience of shooting hundreds of rounds through this .410 that it likes and dislike certain brands, shells construction, loads, and pellet counts. Therefore, the test to determine what was the best fit for my mission, which is squirrel / turkey hunting. Regardless of a 3" 11/16 ounce #6 having 60 more pellets, if those 60 pellets fall outside the max diameter spread for my desired mission, they are a non lethal entity... which do not help me. As for pattern vs. grouping ... one round fired on target from a shotgun is a pattern for that specific round... if I put more than one round fired on target from a shotgun using the same ammunition, I've created a group... That is what it's called !!!

Congratulations on your big game success. As I have several handgun setups for several different missions this particular setup serves me well on varmints beyond 400 yards in a variety of positions. As for "must shoot fast", I choose not to. If I ever feel rushed on a shot, I will just choose not to take the shot and wait for another opportunity.

I got 4 encore pistols...two are 15" 209x50 muzzle loader pistols..maximum charge by Thompson is 110 grains of fff 777..I have encore rifles and 3 muzzle loader rifles...what you got here is a phenomenon that's difficult to explain and almost impossible to cure...there is no reason what so ever to put a rifle scope on a pistol..I have a 2x a 4x a Burris 2x6 and the max Leopold 2.5x8...at the range I probably never went past 4x and in my tree lounge it's 2x....it's incredible how he quickly tries to justify his decision ...it's like a stubborn situation or maybe he signed a contract to pimp that scope...I'm not getting my eye near my muzzle loader pistol or my 7mm08....if I made a video and did this in reverse..a pistol scope on a rifle..you would text me and say what are doing? 2x is about perfect like you commented..you shoot my muzzle loader pistol with a rifle scope your going to the ER

not sure... it was free on GarageBand

Turned out great ... I've posted many new pictures of it on our FB pages "Handgun Hunters" and "Texas Handgun Hunters"... Went with a ZevTech Fulcrum Trigger, KKM Barrel, Trijicon RMR 1 MOA red dot, and Silencerco Suppressor.

yes it is ...

and I’m trying to find it a new home. 😉 ... I have another project I’d like to start on.

How much are you asking?

@@russellbrower5910 Russell ... if you can pm me through our Facebook page on "Texas Handgun Hunters", I can follow up with you there.

I haven't had any issues... but not sure of how "close" you're talking... It's worked good from 15 yards out to 100 yards without a problem.

@@kerrymackey ok thank you!!! i was just wondering about the field of view at closer ranges!! appreciate it bud!!!

Philip ... sure enough... His name is J.R. at Shultz Precision Rifle ... here is the link to his fb page facebook.com/ShultzPrecisionMachine/?__tn__=%2CdK*F-R&eid=ARA6j6lJOlyMzNMoczL9jzXmRpUd_qrxH-QCrxuFcGAJZWZYosTpI9vCwLpoYqF_3QGcJqZVrdECv2Uk

I might recommend you look into Handgun Hunters and Specialty Pistols FB page... we have many of the guys on there shooting prairie dogs with their handguns out to 1200+ yards... as well as big game past 500. The Wyoming Handgun Hunt and Steel Challenge in the summers has 30+ shooters shooting long range with ease. My TC in 308 (video on my KZbin Channel) has a Leupold with CDS turrets that allow me to dial in to 600 yds w/ 1 MOA with complete confidence. Long Range Handgun Hunting has been around for decades... So, before you call BS ... I recommend you do more research. Regards, Pastor Kerry.

@@kerrymackey Didn't mean to come across like such an asshat. Apologies first off. I did check out your videos and you do have a nice TC in 308. I also have a TC Pro Hunter rifle with a Leupold VX3 6.5X20X50mm with turrets capable of dialing in to 600+ yards but can't even see that far even with a 20X scope. I have a seen plenty of videos of long range rifle hunting but very rarely do I see any out past 500 yards. While I'm sure it's possible to hit targets out to 1200 yards I'd love to see the proof. Post some videos of your 600 yard shots with that pistol. And even better post some of the guys hitting prairie dogs at 1200+ yards. Not calling you a liar, I'd just honestly like to see it and see what percentages are actually hits vs misses.

All the videos on the prairie dogs can be found on the Handgun Hunters and Specialities Facebook page. I don’t have videos on my 600 yard shots. Been on the road pretty much since Feb 2019 for work, but will try to get some soon. There are plenty on the HHSP FB page though.

I am still using it... Would like to upgrade to Thermal, but the price point is just a little too much for me. :)

and why is that... we custom built this particular handgun. for a rifle scope intentionally... sub half MOA at 100 and very little recoil & muzzle flip.

@@kerrymackey so you can hold it as handgun is held.

@@kerrymackey I use all my handguns for hunting and rifle scope set up would be very unpractical for any rest that isn't a bench. Gun looks great tho.

@@Fivegunner not so... shoot it off sticks all the time. Have taken several animals off sticks with it as I have my revolvers & semi autos

@@Fivegunner I do hold it as a handgun is held.
