[QUOTE="JoelMoney, post: 1254307, member: 98903"] Any help would be appreciated. I should let you know the peramiters the gun needs to work in first. I like to hunt deer how most people pheasant hunt. My shots are under 150 yards and I hunt in a Minnesota slug zone. I think I am an above average shooter. I have used everything from a compact Glock 9 mm to a 460 S&W to shoot deer on the move. I have 2 xp-100r that I use occasionally in morning and evening sits but I am looking for a handgun I can shoot off hand. My 44 redhawk with scope works but I do not like to blood trail deer. The 44 just doesn't seem to anchor them with chest hits. My first deer rifle I bought was a 35 Whelen I hunted in a rifle zone and was very happy to watch even chased deer fall. Very rarely did I have to track a deer. I would love to find a pistol that put deer down like that rifle. The 460 is close but is a little front heavy.
