Re: Another handgun for foxes etc.
There are so many great pistol designs that we don't have and you want another version of one that's already in the game? Come on, guys, let's have something new!

Re: Another handgun for foxes etc.
In 9mm? A Glock or maybe CZ if we want something fairly modern. Or maybe a Hi Power on the more classic end of the spectrum (and to appease the 1911 fans a bit... all hail John Browning ). To be honest, there's plenty options to choose from and I don't really have a favorite in mind. TheHunter barely scrapes the surface when it comes to handguns and getting another 1911 or another revolver for that matter simply sounds a little boring to me .

Re: Another handgun for foxes etc.
An option I could see would be having a double action revolver.
For example this .327 Fed. Mag. Ruger SP101. It holds six rounds and can shoot double action.
Less raw power in the cartridge could be balanced out by a higher firing rate due to the double action trigger:
Another thing I could imagine would be a revolver in the .25-20 Winchester or the .256 Win. Mag.
The .25-20 is a small game and varmint round that was very popular in the late 19th century, having mostly rifles chambered for it.
The .256 Win. Mag. is a .357 Magnum case necked down to .256 cal (6,5mm), making for a fairly potent round for everything from rabbits and squirrels to foxes and coyotes.
This Smith and Wesson K-Frame (Also a double action) could take both calibers:
For all you pistol lovers, I'd think about a Glock or a Sig 220 chambered for the .357 Sig round.
Being less powerful than .357 Mag, but more powerful than 9mm, this round would make for an interesting addition to the arsenal.
Especially regarding it's penetration capabilities. Not a huge fan of Glocks, but I like the Sig.

Re: Another handgun for foxes etc.
Nice suggestions.
I think there's 2 different alternatives to the matter.
1. A handgun with the exact same species list as the current .357 Magnum revolver.
2. A new more specific handgun with the same species list as the .17 HMR Rifle in store (but it should actually do the work on foxes and bobcats. As they have promised with the soon coming new ammo type for that rifle). That would be similar to the relationship between the .22 Grasshopper and the .22 Plinkington Rifle. A little brother to the .17 HMR Rifle in a way.

i really like the look of the Sig P220 X-Six and its an amazing Pistol and .357 Sig is a cool CaliberMooseHunter330 wrote:An option I could see would be having a double action revolver.

How about a classic Beretta 92 in 9mm?
although i am always hoping for more 1911s. Atleast one in more in .45 ACP
Could be something more modern looking like a Sigsauer 1911 / GSR

Re: Another handgun for foxes etc.
I believe this is the better solution. Such a handgun would fill a niche that doesnt currently exist in game. The notion of another handgun to do all the same stuff as the current 357 is foolish IMO.Generalkommendant wrote:Nice suggestions.

Re: Another handgun for foxes etc.
Yeah, I agree. Maybe the FN Five-Seven Schrider is mentioning. The 5.7×28mm cartridge may be ideal? Of course with a wider spooking range and so on and on, to keep the available Grasshopper still attractive.SoftShoe wrote:I believe this is the better solution.

But it could be that it might be a tad too powerful for EW's taste...
