RE: Deer pistol
i'm surprised noone mensioned the contender. if i wanted to handgun hunt i would go with either the super redhawk or a contender. but most likely the contender. you can use pretty much any cartridge you want with the interchangeable barrels. i would probably go with a 7mm-08 or possibly a 243 if not larger like to a 30-06 with 125's.
