I use a Ruger Single Six, A Browning Buckmark and a
.31 Cal "Baby Dragoon" Black Powder Revolver.
I am also in the process of building a Custom
.31 cal Underhammer Single shot pistol for small game too.
Should be a lot of fun

Last handgun shot squirrel was with a 475 Linebaugh. Was out riding and the little bugger just sat out on a limb and grumbled at me. So I shot the limb out from under him. The fall broke his neck. Okay so maybe I was a little undergunned but I made up foir it with shot placement.
