Only got two deer with a pistol, both using my Freedom Arms .454. First one was with 250 grain Hornady hollowpoints going about 1700 fps, the one this season was with 335 grain hardcasts. (don't know the velocity. Aughta be somewhere around 1500-1600 with those)

Got some squirrels with dad's Ruger single-six .22s.

Kilt a couple hundred raccoons and possums with a pistola now, though. Most of 'em were with either a Witness .45 ACP or Kimber .45 ACP. Also a few with the .454 and .22 mentioned above, but I won't use the .22 on 'em anymore.

Mine is a stainless Dan Wesson .41 mag cause its the only handgun I got. Last year I shot with red dot and shot a deer. This year I shot iron sights and took 2 year with it.
I really want a stainless ruger 44 mag with 7.5 barrel though. Anybody wanna trade?
