What handgun features would you want for big game?
#1

I'm asking about features . . . not brands or anything.
For deer, elk, bear, carabou, etc.
But for instance, what length barrel?
SS or blued?
Which caliber?
Trigger pull?
Which scope?
Grip?
Any other features?
Price wouldn't be primary in the end decission, but it would be nice to find a bargain/affordable. (Not made of money)
Kind of a poll I guess.

for hunting or backup?
in either case, i'd want a blued barrel, if SS dark...in color, camoflauge the gun better.
not too short of a barrel in either, but for hunting prob longer than in defense.
I think a .44mag, or .480 ruger would be 2 great rounds for both jobs.

A good trigger 3-5 lbs single action
Good sights for me I'd like an adj. rear and a graduated front
A solid revolver in a mat satin or brushed finish
Hoge or pachmars
454 maybe 460 S&W
And last not least in bear country double action
