Have to correct you on this because it opens up those interesting loopholes noticed in other states.
Pg. 9 of Ohio regulations
"Handgun: with 5" minimum length barrel, using straight walled cartridges .357 or larger."
That means that .38 special, .45acp etc. are all legal as well. You can hunt with a pistol or revolver.
You may also use a muzzle loading shotgun 10 gauge or smaller using one ball per barrel, but no muzzle loading handguns.
Seems kind of dumb to me that we can use a muzzle loading .410 gauge, but aren't allowed to use a 12" barrel .54 handgun.
