I switched to a handgun for deer season last year for the first time. I'm using a S&W Model 29-3 with 8 3/8" barrel loaded with Buffalo Bore 240 grain +P lead hollow points. I chrono'd an average of just over 1600fps at the range.
Unfortunately I never got to fire the damn thing this year...
Save a few more pennies and get yourself a Browning X-Bolt. Several versions without wood. Excellent, high quality rifle.

I think they are great little guns. Don't own one but would like to one day. I'm a big fan of the .44 Special cartridge for self defense and use a 3" Model 624 to carry. It's a big heavy N frame and in the right holster it carries just fine. A Lobo GunLeather IWB works great for me. I'd...
