.357 all the way

RE: Handgun Caliber
The .357 is very capable of taking deer at the ranges you mentioned. There was a couple of people shooting 41 mags after our Bullseye match last night. I'd never seen one before, lots of noise - and looking down the line it looked like lots of recoil. They were using 210 gr and 212 gr bullets.

RE: Handgun Caliber
buddy of mine took a buck with his 357 at 120 yards! believe it or not! he aimed about foot and a half over the back and hit it in the spine and dropped it in his tracks. he was shooting off a rest but hell of a shot. i carried my 357 this year and should have shot a doe at about 20 yards with it but chickened out and grabbed my rifle:eek:

RE: Handgun Caliber
your friend was irresponcible to shoot a deer at that range with that gun.[:o][:'(][&:].
like shooting one with a 22 rimfrie at 100 yards.[:'(] or any yardage with a 22. |
RE: Handgun Caliber
Hell of a shot, nah! Great shot, definitly nah! A stupid, lucky, irresponsible shot, yes!

RE: Handgun Caliber
ORIGINAL: GRIZZLYMAN I have a Ruger Redhawk in 41 Mag. Put some good wrap-around grips on it like Hogue or Pachmars and it disappates recoil pretty well. I shoot 210 Rem. semi-wadcutters in mine for practice and recoil is minimal. With all that said, I'm 6'5" and 280, but I think with handguns that doesn't make that much of a difference. 41 has more than enough power with the CorBon 250s or similar rounds to put down a whitetail up to 50 yards. You will notice more recoil from the hunting loads, obviously. |

RE: Handgun Caliber
If you can afford it go with the new .460 S&W and practice with .45LC. Build up your wrist muscles and your marksmanship and this gun will substitue a rifle anyday. Just my .02
