Gentleman,
I have a Super Blackhawk in .44 mag. that I'd like to use as a close range deer gun. The problem is, when I cock it, it's loud. If a deer was under my tree stand it would head for the hills when I pull back the hammer. I'm not crazy about the idea of sitting with it cocked. My only other choice would be a 6" gp100 in .357. I'd rather the .44 but if I cant get a shot whats the point? Any ideas? Thanks,
Ken
