well about 2 months ago I got a Ruger SRH in .454 Casull with the 9.5" barrel. My plans are to use it for deer hunting this year. It will be my first year ever handgun hunting. I really love this gun. I love big bore revolvers so much that my next revolvers include a Magnum Reaserch BFR in 45-70 , anything in .500 Linebaugh and maybe a .357mag
