RE: What's the best handgun for deer/elk hunting?
To really answer you question, we need some more info. How long are the shots you'll be taking? Do you prefer revolvers or something like a single-shot T/C? Do you want one caliber that'll take both deer and elk? Do you hand-load? How do you handle recoil? There are many verialbles when it comes to "pointing" someone to a hunting handgun. Give us a little more info and we'll find something that will fit your bill.
