Default RE: Hunting with a handgun?

I've owned all kinds of .44's but for many reason's I settled on a SW629 in stainless with a 6in barrel. the new smiths will handle anything that the Rugers will and they are lighter and slimmer profile. the difference in weight will mean a lot after many hours in the field. if you ever think of hunting in other states be aware that some have a 6in barrel minimum and I'm alway's leery of semi-auto's, even dirty the wheelguns will usually come thru for you .I'm right handed and have found that a shoulder holster works for me or putting my right hand holster on the left side I'm right handed and have found that the best holster position for me is my right hand holster on my left side between my hip and the center of my belly (crossdraw). that way you can draw with game looking at you without a lot of movement.
