I for one would really like to see the countries in the South Pacific re open to handgun hunting. It makes no sense to me that at one time it was open to handgunners and now it's banned.

That's exactly the reason I started this site.

I think I speak for everybody when I say I am glad that you had the initiative to start such a great website Gary.

I guess this way people from all over the world can see our accomplishments with the short guns, and maybe understand a little more...

I guess I haven't thought about it much because it is just the way it has been, but it stinks... Just think of all of the hunting opportunities that would open up to us if Canada alone would open to handgun hunting?

Its sad that when we are looking at hunts, We can't even consider all of the opportunities held by our friendly neighbors to the north. I know it would open some doors wide open for me.


Good day
Some of the opportunities you speak of can't be enjoyed by us either. No handgun hunting is allowed in Canada wheather you're Canadian or not so yeah I aggree with ya. It really sucks that we can't use handguns to hunt here in Canada. Even worse the only place I can (legaly)use my handguns is on a government approved range.
Anyways, on a happier note
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to Everyone.
Mike

Very few Australian States ever had legal handgun hunting. It was legal in the NT and debatable in Tassie. George W Bush's great friend John Howard killed it off with a draconian anti-gun regime.
It may seem hard for American's to understand, but it is the Conservative parties in Australia that are the most anti-gun. Vote them in and within a few years your guns get banned. Likely to be a British disease where the establishment is deeply afraid of a free people, you see it mainly in Commonwealth countries like the UK, Canada, Australia etc.

Revolver hunting in SA is easy. Take a SuperRedhawk with scope on. Take it off. Take a FA with scope on and open sights hid in your checked luggage. Put it on when you get there. I've done this 5 times. No problem.

Have any of you hunted South America, Argentina in particular, with a handgun? What types of restrictions do they have?

I've hunted in Argentina twice, once in 1991 with a Contender in 6.5 JDJ and .375 JDJ for blackbuck, and the second time in 2002 with a FA .475 Linebaugh for buffalo.
It's no problem. You must have an entry permit for each firearm ($24 each in '91, $40 in '04). You can get the permits through the Argentine Embassy in the U.S., but you can also get them upon arrival at Eziza Airport in Buenos Aires, which is what I would recommend. You should double check this info with your Argentine outfitter to ensure that nothing has changed.
