I though I'd report back about my first time at the range with my new Remington 10mm Hunter. I replaced the VZ grips and put on a set of Pearce palm swell grips which look good and feel more comfortable in my hand. Shooting from a pistol rest my groups measured 1 to 2 inchs at 25 yards. Shooting free hand I was grouping around 3 1/2" using Hornady 165 gr loads. The pistol shoots good, weight and balance are excellent with a great sight picture.

I'm considering buying a Charter Arms Pitbull in .40S&W does anyone have any info about the quality of these guns? Years ago I purchased a Charter Arms Bulldog Tracker in .357 mag. It was the worst handgun ever made. The front sight was'nt soldered on straight and the ejector rod broke while in the frame making it so I could'nt open the cylinder. After sending it back to Charter Arms for repairs it was returned with the front sight resoldered in another location and a new ejector rod in place. I traded it away as soon as I could and swore I'd never buy another again. Has the quality gotten better? I don't want to make the same mistake all over again.

I just picked up my new Remington R 1 Hunter in 10mm. I like it, it offers good balance and a great sight picture. I don't like the VZ grips supplied with the gun however. I'm looking for something a little less aggressive on your hands. I'm thinking about a Bianchi X 15 shoulder holster to carry it in. I can't wait to get it out to the range and try it out. I've never tried whitetail hunting with a handgun, it looks like fun. I'll let you know how this combo works out for me.
