RE: Handgunners check in
I do a lot of handgun shooting and use them to hunt as well. I have taken several deer with the 44 mag both in revolver and TC contender. I carry a 4" 357 mag as a carry gun until I get a new 1911 45 auto. I have never been without some sort of 357 Mag but I shoot mostly 38 specials in them. For defense loads I carry mid-range 357 loads just a hair hotter than 38+P loads. I have a S&W 9mm auto for plinking.
