Uses for handguns besides "killing people":

Hunting big or small game and/or shooting varmits.

Target shooting -- either recreational or competitive, in a wide range of venues, including but not limited to paper targets, iron targets and "cowboy action" target matches.


I have two handguns, a Smith and Wesson .357 with an eight-inch barrel, and a Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine with a 7.5-inch barrel. Neither of these weapons would be particularly practical for concealment or quickly engaging a target in a combat situation.

However, they are both excellent for: See above.
