i used to use a hand cannon here in ohio when it was shotgun / muzzleloader only. mostly was the desert eagle in the 44 . also when they went to all straight wall cartridges in handgun brought a t/c encore & had multible barrels in 460 / 45-70/ 454 casull & the 500 smith & wesson. one handgun partically like was the t/c contender with the 45-70 with a muzzlebrake . took quite a few deer with the handcannons. took a nice buck @ 250 yrds with the 460 & dropped him in his tracks

I have an old T/C Contender in 7mmTCU that I use from time to time to tip over whitetail does. It shoots a 120 gr Nosler BT and is topped with a 2x Leupold pistol scope. From a rest I can hit things like apples and oranges (roughly the same size as a deer heart) at 100 yards. That being said it still isn't something I use on a regular basis. When I hunt deer, I am hunting seriously for meat to fill the freezer go I grab a rifle, a 9.3x62 Mauser, most of the time.

stirring the pot is almost a mental sport in a few peoples lives,
Ive been on more than enough forums to see that theres always a very few people who live to find fault in,
anything anyone else posts,
on almost any subject, you might imagine.
and most subconsciously and in error seem to believe ,
"if I can,t do it! ....theres no way in hell, ...you can do it!"

Trained is the keyword there RR. $5k worth of gun doesn't mean squat if the shooter has no idea how to use it.
