RE: Hunting with a handgun?
If they have any shorter barreled (5" or so) ruger single actions look at them to. I've gotten a ruger SBH that I love, its too long 7.5" to be used as s "side-arm" and I really wished I had gotten a shorter barrel. It eats up the recoil with the longer barrel and bisley grip..I can shoot 100 full-house .44mags without trouble. The shorter ones 'felt' and handled much better in my hands...but I wanted a bisley-style grip and longer barrel to eat recoil.
The single action triggers are easy to work on as well. Spent one afternoon working on mine its a whole different gun now.
