We shoot handgun for the challenge but then use something like this to remove the challenge. SMH

Really appreciate your up front honesty about all the real factors in hand gun hunting.

Use both hands

I'd be filthy rich with that bet. A 150 yard shot is a chip shot with my 14" Contender pistol chambered in 7-30 Waters. I took a Fallow Deer buck at 100 yards with this pistol offhand. I also took an Imperial Elk at 125 yards with my 10" Contender pistol chambered in .357 Maximum offhand. How did I make these shots? Shooting these guns at distance a lot. You've got to break some eggs to make an omelet.

A man has got to know his limitations

For a deer blind that would be a good setup. I use a lanyard ring with a short braided leather strap so I don’t think it’s a good fit for me.

I always try to use some kind of rest I hunt on the ground but I have tried shooting off hand shooting out to about 30-35 yards and shoot pretty good but on the move I do not know

I have extra lizard skin for my game controller. I was tempted to shape it to my rifle handle. It.d look sick but I don't want to a already beautiful gun

First, awesome invention- I have been looking something like this for a long time- I received mine from you about a month ago and have been doing quite a bit of practicing with my different hunting pistols. You mentioned putting the trigger guard up against the guide wheel. What I have done so that I can actually rest the cylinder up against the guide wheel is wrap some leather around the guide wheel (I just use an old leather glove). This way you don't burn the guide wheel. It really helps with some of my revolvers that have 10" barrels. Just a tip I thought some people might be able to use for themselves.

Sorry, 4 years later this popped up. Let's make it more interesting, if they don't make the shot they owe you whatever you were going to pay out. I used to bow hunt, took a couple does and spikes, never a nice buck.I practiced out to 30 yards, several times I had a 10 point standing at 40, never drew on them. One came into 20 yards but was facing me and then turned and ran off when the doe he was following said See ya later. They never did that during muzzle or shotgun season, darn it.

thanks for the great tip !

Good advice! Quick question. What are you wearing on your chest? Also I love my rest , it’s perfect for handgun hunting!

Good video with useful info.

Pit-e-ful do your homework and sight in first, I have the same gun and it shoots sub 1/2” all day long. Great cartridge.

For anyone who might come across this video and wonder if the Trifecta works with a Primos trigger stick, it does!! You simply need to use the included silver threaded adapter they supply for you.

I just purchased one of your rests, and I was able to answer my own question regarding whether or not the rest will work with a Primos trigger stick- the answer is yes!! For anyone out there interested, I simply used the threaded silver adapter, took off the yoke on the Primos, and attached the Trifecta to it. I placed it on my short monopod triggerstick first, which is what I normally use. It just seemed too unstable, so I attached it to my short Primos tripod-much more stable. I plan on testing it out this weekend if possible.

My question- will it fit/adapt to a Primos trigger tripod/monopod?

Congratulations

Very helpful tip. Thx's!!! Trump 2024!!! 💯🇺🇸💪

Will this attach to a Primos Trigger Stick? I love the Primos due to the super fast ability to go up or down.

Good info hope to use My Ambush rest this coming deer season here in Maine.

Which scope is that?

Awesome 👏🏻 congratulations.

Good tips. I love my rest, it’s made me so much more accurate.

I’ve used Barnes 120ttsx bullets in my 7-08 for years now. The best powder bar none for 7mm08 is Winchester StaBall 6.5. I’m getting velocities between 100-200fps faster than any other powder and sun moa accuracy all day long. Trick with all Barnes is they need to either have a big jump to the lands or be very close. I’ve never been able to get them to shoot at coal. Downfall they are expensive.

That’s cool you’re learning things. A 44 special with almost no recoil, depending on the bullet, will go completely through a any good size deer. Most of my deer, I shot with a 44 special, just with homemade lead flatnose I think 214 grain Out of a 6 inch barrel Ruger blackhawk. If I recall correctly, I use 10 grains of unique behind it. Unless you’re hunting exotic game, a 44 special will do anything you need. If you do need more horsepower, you can take your 44 magnum and put 44 magnum bullets in it, but it’s so largely not necessary. I hate recoil hate muzzle blast, and after all, I’ve been through working on so many ranches all my life a light loaded 44 or 45 long colt will do anything you need yeah, you can make a hand cannons out of them easily, But why. It takes the fun out of hunting if you’re not happy and comfortable shooting your gun.

S&W support out right told me you can not use underwood ammo in this gun. You can use ammo running at 40 cal numbers fine. But full 10mm loads and this thing is not reliable. Get a RIA 1911 or a Glock if you want to depend on a gun for your life with 10mm. First and last S&W for me.

I have taken game with single shot pistols and found they offer no advantage and have to be rested and you loose velocity compared to even a carbine length barrel and reloading is slower than bolt or lever and they are cumbersome to carry compared to a sling rifle.I think the XP 100 is great and contender of couse I have a LoneEagle in 3006 really nit great but good conversation piece , rested with 1×4 redfield is accurate hunter to maybe 150 yds.

I have a Ruger New Model Blackhawk revolver with a 4.62" 357 magnum would this be good for whitetail deer hunting?

I love your video. I am looking to scope my S&W 629 and everyone keeps telling to just go with a red dot. Witch would you recommend. I am very particular about accuracy and can't see a red dot being as accurate at longer ranges as a scope. Again witch would you recommend? Tahnks.

Waste of time. Plenty of good grips out there for decent prices.

Low n left that's you not to 10mm.

Glad you didn’t hurt Wilson. Thanks

Groo here Resting the butt on the rest will cause stringing , more so with revolvers. Shoot the gun as if one handed , and cup the grip with the other [resting the heel of the support hand on the pad, not the gun] Loose the thumb high hold , hold the gun like a hammer... been benching handguns for 50 years [ 22's to SSK hand Cannons and deer hunter with handguns] most problems caused by shooter

Excellent video!!

The point of getting the 4.6 inch barrel is to actually have a 4 inch barrel gun. Semi automatic handgun barrel length is measured from the chamber. I don't know why they do this but that 4 inch gun you have is actually a 3.5 inch barrel. I can't see a reason to buy a 10mm and then handicap it.

Is this a Burris 2x pistol scope?

Brian thank you for making a great product. i was using your new ambush on a mono pod i got that you suggested for the ambush. was shooting at 35 yards with my Glock 40 Mos with a Holoson SCS and i could hit a six-inch plate every time. i look forward to Maine hunting season this year. Trifecta handgun rests should be part of every handgun hunter repertoire.

So you are an alien with tentacles extending 8 inches beyond your limb

I have a S&W M&P 2.0 10mm with a 4.625 inch barrel and no safety lever. Mag-Na-Port quad ported mine at my request. X/S Optic height tritium Night Sights and a 508T Holosun solar panel backup red dot on a C&H Precision aluminum mounting plate fixed down with stainless steel screws and blue loctite. Apex flat black aluminum safety trigger for full size M&P 2.0 models fitted by M&L Gunsmith for me. For my duty care but dual duty as a hunting handgun.

I just purchased the new Ambush rest i am a big handgun hunter have shot two deer with handgun. anything that will help me get better at it i am all for it.

Just got a Glock 40 mos in 10 mm and hope to take a deer with it this coming season. What ammo were you using on your hunt?

Did you make tripod? If so do you have Video on build?

What plate did you use to mount the optic. The one supplied or one of the after markets

Thanks I really like that rest. Have my 10 strictly for hunting. And you have given me lots of info. Do you have a video with that optic on the m-p?

Nice video. I've been hunting medium and big game for the last 40 years with handguns. My favorite go to handgun is an open sighted Ruger 41 magnum blackhawk purchased in 1981 which I've harvested dozens of deer with mostly stand hunting. If all of your anticipated shots are around 100 yards or less, it's hard to beat a good handgun.

I'm at or just under 2 inches at 25 yards free hand. On a rest I average 1.25 inch groups, but I have gotten down to .88 inches with 200gr hard cast both underwood and doubletap.

I'm hoping to fill the freezer this year with my Glock 40 mos

I bought the 4 inch. Cleaned it spotless. Cycled all the BS 180gr loads that a 40S&W could do. It will not cycle 200gr handloads at 1200fps or Underwood 220 hard cast. For a piece that was the price you stated, I am very disappointed. If I wanted to run 40 loads, I'd use a 40.

I’d certainly, be starting my load development on a bench. Tripod isn’t going to be as stable, better off taking one problem out of the equation.
