RE: Ruger revolver
You can't go wrong with a Ruger revolver.
They are as strong as they come. All of the balistics tables list the hottest loads with an *(Ruger) You can handload the .45LC to almost .44 Magnum levels.
You can accesorize them to your hearts content. Scopes, grips, sights, holsters.
They are as accurate as a single-action revolver can be. With a little tuning the trigger can be slicked up.
Good Hunting,
