12 days left until I get to go on my first gator hunt. Just left the gun shop with a New Model Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 Mag. -7.5" barrel. I decided on the .44 because the .45 bullets were out. I am sure it won't make a difference at point blank for a gator. Just took a closer look at my bullets 240gr. @ 1178 FPS. That sounds HOT! I don' have any experience with large cal pistols. Heading out to the firing range now, I hope it ain't too hot!
Don't worry. You can go "hotter" in a Ruger S.B.H if you choose. The most important thing is to not go so "hot" you can not easily control the revolver for fast and accurate followup shots.Quote:

Have fun on your excursion. Pictures please.
S.M.
Wow, lots of gun for gators......and a hand full to shoot.
Congrats man.
Thanks ya'll! We will see! Hunter, the largest caliber is recommended by DNR. I was going to use .22 magnum but everyone thought I needed more....so, I got more!
Must be big gators in S.C........Louisiana they use .22 mag or .22, and try not to hurt the hide......LOL
The laws are different here for gator, I must have the gator at point blank on lines before I can shoot'em...more is gooder right?Quote:

Hey, you don't have to tell me about the old "Honey, gonna be needing a new gator gun.......you know, a big gun?"
"But Dear, there aren't any gators around here?"
"Well, see, it worked!.....LOL"
Good luck, man have fun........
The only she, I answer to is 10 and she helped me pick it out!Quote:

Well, the round went right through the guy and blasted mud and gator brains back up at me. I had my mouth open and got a good taste of that mess. Dank swamp mud and dang gator brains. Mmmmm.... Uhmmm. Uhnn Uhnnnn.
Just remember you can knock a gator out with out killing it. So, server their spines and scramble their brains. Nothing quite as exciting as having a big ole gator come back to life in a boat unexpectedly.
I knocked this pig out with a .44 magnum. she came back too after a shot to the head.

I will hopefully have safety glasses on, I can deal with the taste, apprehensive about my perfect eyes though!
For those with FB, a video of the first time I shot it....

44 Mag works well on everything with the right load. A 240gr loaded at over 1100 fps will punch a hole completely through a gator head.
Good luck on your gator hunt. I'm thinking that I need a gator pistol. I've never owned a 44 mag but have been wanting to remedy that shortcoming. I'll have to run it by the wife.
Wow, never shot a .44 mag.. Accuracy counts on gators.
Unconscious gators and hogs. There's two more for the list. We might just want to cut Florida loose and let it float toward Cuba. You shoot a rabbit around here with a .44 I promise you that sucker ain't comin' back to life anytime soon.
If you are at point blank range, a .22lr, 22mag, or even a .357 with 180gr hard lead would work just fine without the recoil of the .44.
Agreed, and more economical.Quote:

I have a 70lb Bear rigged with a slotted retriever and a float. But, more than likely I will get the gator snagged with rod and reel first. Then hopefully get an arrow in. I am not sure how it will play out.Quote:

Here is a pic of the new pistol and a video of the first 6 rounds. Not sure if the video will work, never done a video before.

Nice handgun, did you get that from Shelby the swampman? LOL
I don't have TV...not sure who you are referring to...Gonna get out back and shoot some more today. I really enjoy this pistol!Quote:

Cool, vid, worked just fine.
Yeah! I noticed the horses didn't like it much...But ol' Henry just went about his business!Quote:

You could put a lot of good meat in your freezer, huh? :gunsmilie:
S.M.
13 is the plan! I have my little brother comin' all the way from NM to help me with a SC gator.
