I’m starting a new thread for us handgun hunters and if everyone agrees, I’m thinking we just have one ongoing thread vs. new one each year since we are a small bunch.

Great shooting Sir!
I will contribute this year… at some point. Haha

The only turkey I ever killed with a handgun was also with a .41 mag, but an S&W Model 57. He flew off about a hundred yards and dropped out of the sky dead. He was hard to find in the brush, took us probably a half hour, but my grandson spotted his tailfeathers sticking up. Shot him with a regular old softpoint and I’m sure it was in and out with no expansion.
Nice looking bird and good eats Randy !

When you say jacketed ammo- you mean any solid point?
