Default RE: Semi-Auto Pistol, Range/Deer gun.. Suggestions?

get a ruger GP100 357 mag with a 6 inch barrel. for target shooting you can use 38 specials and for hunting deer use a 357 mag with that 6 inch barrel you should beable to make a accurate shot to 50 yards, with a pistol keep your shots 50 yards and under. these run at right about 400 dollars. well that one is a revolver , but you are wanting a semi auto correct? for a semi auto they are all fine for target shooting and self defense but for hunting is where you will run into less desirable performance, I would recommend a government model 1911 .45 ACP but like most semi autos you will be limited to shots 25 yards and under. You can get a decent springfield 1911 for around 400 to 500 bucks. good luck
