Fellas I am in the process of ordering some starter pistols for my club and can't find my AKC rulebook. I was thinking its had to be .32 cal or bigger by AKC standards. Can anyone help me out on if that is accurate or not?

Not sure of the rule, but our club uses .32 cal.

All calibers greater than or equal to .32 are acceptable.

pack if game is being pursued vigorously by the pack.
