I'm new to this forum.  How many of you hunt or compete with XP-100's, Strikers, TC's, etc?
What kind and cartridge?
Thanks

Good to know there is another guy out there that hunts with a specialty handgun.  My 2 favorites are 284 Winchest and a 7.82 Patriot XP-100's Center-Grip singleshot.  They take care of everything from Prarie Dogs to Elk.  I love em.

I'm also left-handed.  I have owned a 243 Striker for awhile it was accurate, but then I had an oppurtunity to trade it for another XP-100, so I did.

I use a variety of different field rests, depending on whether I am antelope hunting on the plains or elk hunting in  the mountains:
backpack, heavy mittens, between my knees, variety of Harris Bi-pods and shooting sticks.  While making a stalk I constantly look for a solid rest.
My main hunting XP-100's both have H-S Precision stocks on them that are free floated.  They have the aluminum V-Block just like their rifle stocks.
I'm glad to know there is so many on this forum that use a specialty handgun of some kind.

Isn't it great hunting with these different specialty handguns.  I have shot the TC, Encore, MOA Maximum, and the Strikers (Of course the XP's).  The only specialty handgunds I have not tried is the Lone Eagle and the Competitor.  I'm sure there are some other ones out there like the Wichita's and H-S specialty pistols, but I have not used them either.
