Years ago I purchased a 6" Python to use for whitetail hunting. I knew very little about handguns at the time and after some reading I decided it was not "big enough". Didn't hunt for a while or hunted with rifle....
I started shooting the 41 mag a good bit. Really like the caliber although I do understand why some would choose a 44 mag for hunting over the 41 mag. Took my Model 57 out a couple of times where there weren't many deer and never got a shot. Still love the caliber and shoot it more than any of the magnum calibers.
Got serious a few years back as life stabilized and bought a Ruger Super Red Hawk in 480. That is my deer revolver. I know the 41 mag is plenty, but I just want some additional fire power.
My advice is not to buy a 357 to hunt with going out of the gate.... get a 41 or 44 mag or up the power a bit to 480 Ruger. You won't have this nagging question in your mind that you don't have enough gun when the deer takes off after you make a good hit in the heart lung area.
