I usually carry my4 inch 625 .45 Colt or my 6 inch 28 in .357, both stoked with warm loads. I use them on drives in very heavy cover as I sneak. But as a stander, it is hard to hit with a handgun at 50 on a running buck. I do very well with my 870 with ghost ring sights. I may just carry the 28 this year as my primary. But I do want a new shotgun. A 20 somthing auto.
