Have you ever scoped a handgun...

[Annihilator]

I put a scope on my old stainless Ruger Redhawk in .44 magnum with the 7 1/2” barrel, scope was a Leopold 2x for deer hunting back in early 1990’s, had gun was magnaported. Anybody else scope there handguns?

Yes, the pic is not mine but mine nearly identical. H-S Precision VP (Varmint Pistol) in 7mm-08. A Laser gun.

Yes, my Ruger Redhawk 44, Super Redhawk 454 & S&W Stealth Hunter 44, all 7 1/2” barrels. I’m not a hunter, so you may ask why? I don’t know, because it’s there . I wanted to see if it made a difference with my aging eyes & it did somewhat.

I also have a Browning Buckmark Target model with a 1-3X on it.

Not a scope, but I put a red dot on my Browning Buckmark.

Good timing on this post. We have an article up today on The Armory Life by Rob Leatham on why he uses an optic-equipped handgun (https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/robs-corner-leathams-double-duty-1911.595/). Thought you all might find it interesting.

I bought a nice leather chest rig that accommodates all three of mine (specifically made and sold for scoped revolvers), that I use at the outdoor range. I suppose there are other alternatives that hunters could provide more choices on, but I'm not a hunter and wouldn't know.
