My New Hunting Buddy and Her .357 Trapper
« on: March 19, 2010, 09:41:44 AM »
Well, I got to introduce the granddaughter to her new .357 mag TALO Trapper. As you can see, she was really checking it out. I had to stop her from doing a taste test on the barrel!
I don't know what TALO means, but they need to do another run of all three calibers...this rifle is really generating a lot of interest around here.

Thanks guys.
If she grows up interested in shooting and hunting I will make sure she has every opportunity to become a Handiholic!!!

Talo does special order firearms, probably the most notable as far as H&Rs are concerned is the Talo Golden BC.

I don't see any drool in the picture, most handi holics would be drooling that close to a dream gun. - Brent

Thanks Tim. Maybe if we could get someone there on this forum we could get some more unique Handi's!
I'm pretty sure that it will end up looking however she wants! I am picturing a woodland style camo pattern with the tan replaced by the pink.
She was drooling quite a bit! What the picture doesn't show is that I was having quite a fight trying to keep it out of her mouth...she's pretty tough to be so little.

Well I was right she is is Prettier than you are ;D and the Handi don't look bad either!I bet she will enjoy having a well used Handi for her first gun. (After all you had to make sure it was a good shooter)

Shaner, I think I'll just experiment with this one for a while and see if I like this Grandpa stuff ;)
Jeepman, that is exactly what I was thinking! By the time she can use it I'll have it set-up just right for her!

WOW! 7 grandkids! If every grandchild I have is as headstrong as this little one already is I'll have to call out the National Guard!
