Found a few articles today after watching the Ruger Shot Show videos. Turns out I learned that Larry Weishuhn is a big Super blackhawk hunter fan. Did a little more research and found some of his blog postings. He even alludes to an Elk he took with the SBHH that will appear on an upcoming outdoors show!

Also came across a video of him using the revolver on a deer hunt. Watching it now :-)

He is also a fan of the .30/30 in a Contender.

Yup, I always assumed if I was going to see Larry shoot something with a handgun, it would be a Contender. And if Dick Metcalf, it was going to be some flavor of S&W. In the blog SB linked, Larry kind of poo-poo's the 460 S&W. Not surprising.

As do I. Every show I've seen him hunt on he has carried an Encore 30-06 pistol, in a Pistol Packaging Bandito Belt rig. Variety is good.

Rod,
Opps you are correct. I used the term Contender generically to mean Thompson. Yes, he is an Encore guy.
I have only fired the 500 S & W once, so no expert but I do agree that much like the 44Mag, S&W is certainly after the gotta have the biggest market. And as such, the 500 is quite the handful, and probably a bad first for many folks.
Got a buddy who loves his, and he said as I shoot the 454 (FA) that I have to get the 460. I tried to explain why I would not, especially since he has to carry his in a backpack when hunting with other arms. Perhaps too much of a good thing for this practical hunter.

As a dedicated handgun hunter, we've certainly seen Larry with his share of T/C's...but now hunting and appearing on Ruger's show, I'm sure we'll see a whole bunch more of the SBH and SRH. No flame or disrespect, a guy's gotta pay the bills, and who wouldn't want free guns?!
Interesting that he talks about the recoil and dislike of the grip frame in the double action, but will be hunting some this season with the Casull in the SRH.

You can't turn down sponsorship. It shows great respect for Larry that they were able to hook up. I have seen nearly all the greats change makers at some time, shooters and fishers alike, and some many times. I loves my Rugers and will enjoy watching Larry kill something with them.

Rod - I don't fault him a bit, and I love my Rugers as well...hopefully the notoriety that Larry carries in the industry will help push handgun hunting along with all the manufacturers!

I didn't think that you did, was just reinforcing your point. I was kind of taken aback when Jim Shockey swapped his trusty front stuffer, but it is just a sign of the times....
