[Scrumbag]

Hello folks,

Am considering getting a handgun (guessing revolver but happily consider a Semi Auto) to accompany me on hunting trips.

This won't be a bear protection gun, nor will it be what I will be pricipally hunting with.

I want it more for following up something wounded (mainly after deer and boar in close cover so shots would be short range) or maybe for a bit of evening plinking.

My thoughts are so far:

.357 Revolver (9mm Convertable)
.45 Revolver (.45 Colt or ACP)

Something else?

Please feel free to suggest Calibres / Makes / Models

I think I'd prefer barrels of 4"-6" though should I really entertain thoughts of a S&W Governor / Taurus Judge?

Thanks in advance,

Scrummy
