I was just a out to post the same suggestion. I agree completely and since Craig does actually hunt game and large game too with a handgun I would seriously consider his suggestion.I think the Super Redhawk is perhaps the best bang for the buck in a dedicated hunting revolver available today. People like to judge them by their looks without looking for what beauty lies beneath. I prefer the optic mounted over the frame, rather than the barrel, with the ability to keep the iron sights. Grip options are also better than the Redhawk. With such a strong .44Mag, you're set for anything up to Cape buffalo.

They are also superbly accurate. The sixgun above does this with everything I've fed it, groups in the half inch range at 25yds.

I love the Grendel round, but I feel its advantages aren't realized at such short ranges, and using a 15" barrel wastes its potential. It really shines past 300 yards and would take white tail at 1000 yards with a well-placed shot. I have a 6.5G and shoot long-range with it, on an AR chassis with a 20" barrel. If you want a true pistol caliber for taking deer out to 100 yards, .41 or .44 Magnum would work just fine, and out to 50 yards, .357 Magnum would work, or 10mm if you have a nice semiauto chambered for it.Hello all,
I live and Hunt in the Great state of Missouri! Well we have here what’s called “Alternative Season” Coming up it used to be Muzzleloader Season but they have opened up the regs some in the past few years so my question is this IF you were going out to Find/buy/build a Pistol for Whitetail deer with shots ranging from 10 feet to 100 yards* What would you chose? Also I really want a scope I always do better with them
For me right now I am thinking a G2 Contender in 6.5 Grendel with a 15 inch barrel yes it’ll be a custom barrel I handload for this round already and I’ve seen what the 100 grain ttsx will do to deer so I’m confident in it
So I ask what Say You?
Mods please move if you think it fits better elsewhere
For me I would choose a ruger bisley Blackhawk hunter in .44mag.
+1. (and I don't even own one)...every example I've tried has been accurate. They are stout but not overly heavy. Under appreciated guns, imho.I think the Super Redhawk is perhaps the best bang for the buck in a dedicated hunting revolver available today.
