I consider myself an above average handgun shot, having taken much big game withmy S&W 44 mag.,including moose, deer ect... BUT, if you can't get it done with the rifle that's "already in your hands", then having a handgun won't be an improvement. Sell the darn thing, and use the $$ to buy ammo for the rifle, practiseing untill you KNOW you can get it done with the rifle...

Having both will cause you to have to think handgun? or rifle?,wasteing valuable time that could be spent getting the more powerful, more accuraterifle into action...
