For the past four years, anytime I had my 41 Bisley Hunter with me, I never saw a deer. My luck finally changed this year when this guy came within 25 yards of my blind. He didn't take another step. Load was MP 41-265 FP GC with 18.6 grains of H4227. Not a spectacular shot, not a spectacular deer, but very exciting and good meat in the freezer. Thanks to many members here for sharing the knowledge that I put to good use to make it happen.
congrats ! I've only been using a hand gun for a few seasons now and been hooked since I got my first deer with one .
Congrats on a fine deer. They're all trophys with a handgun. Nice shooting.
Good job CHSparkman. I have yet to get my first handgun big game.
Sweet!

Nice deer!!! WTG!
Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

Great job!
What a trophy! Congratulations. And you did it with my favorite handgun caliber.
Congratulations. No substitute for getting close and placing a shot.
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Congrats It is more fun with a handgun.
Good going! I have the same gun, going to use NOE 41 251GC WFN.
Awesome Job!!
Good job, you're hooked now!
Super Job! I have taken a few Does and 4 Bucks with my Contenders. I look forward to taking a good deer with my Freedom Arms .454.
Got-R-Did.
Good looking deer! Should be some good eating.
Great deer!
Every shot you get in life counts
My feelings exactly! Great job!Originally Posted by NSB
CHSparkman, I am going to have to get a Ruger "hunter" model revolver soon, as the iron-sighted handguns I hunt with are getting harder to see the sights clearly.
I have scoped T/C contenders, but still prefer the revolvers.

Nicely done! I have the same pistol and have only taken a pair of young GA hogs with it. Hope to do better in the future.

Hand guns are a whole new world to pop corn crunchers with. And a caliber 41 to boot ! One of my favorites !

Nicely done.
A dead deer = a dead deer!
I thought the TC's would quench my thirst for handgun hunting. Nope. It's like drinking cola after eating some hot peppers. I can't hardly stand not having a ruger single action in 41. It's going to be the bees knees when it happens.
Thanks for enabling!!!
