This little research is actually more for my father. See, he bought a Taurus .357 mag (not for hunting, its more of a gut-buster/self defense gun) from a family friend. And while we were hunting this year we got to discussing hunting with a Handgun, and he asked me a few weeks ago to try to dig up some more info on it. So here I am, and thanks a lot everybody for the info and opinions on guns, etc. Thanks Again!
