[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1366447, member: 52437"] I got my first deer with a hand gun. This was with my 5in 44 mag S&W629. I was a little shocked at the lack of a complete pass through since the deer was broadside at 20 yards but it could be because I was using a lighter bullet, factory loaded 200gr Hornady XTPs. The bullet grazed a rib on entrance, hit the heart and stopped just under the skin on the other side after hitting a rib again. I figured at 20 yards I should get a complete passthrough. Maybe I will go to the 240gr XTP. Either way the deer did not go far, so the bullet did it's job! [/QUOTE]
