Ohio revolvers, from deer stand to nightstand

Ohio is one of the states where a revolver is a real deer gun. The Division of Wildlife allows handguns in the gun seasons if the barrel is five inches or longer and the cartridge is straight-walled, .357 caliber or up, which describes a six-inch .357 Magnum or a .44 Magnum exactly. In the steep hollows of the southeast, where a shot past sixty yards is rare, some hunters carry one alongside a lever carbine in the same chambering and share the ammunition. Away from the woods, a .38 Special snub still makes a simple pocket or nightstand gun, and a .22 revolver is a cheap way to teach a new shooter. Revolvers ship to your Ohio FFL; you must be 21.
