    Ruger BH in 44 mag should make a great choice handgun hunting for deer.

    I started handgun hunting 50 years ago with a H&R Sportsman model 999 when I was gifted the H&R for X-mas 1974.
    Since then I purchased a S&W 629-2 new 36 years ago for deer hunting, then about 7 years ago bought a S&W 460 with a 7.5" barrel from the Performance center.

    44 Magnum is a awesome deer cartridge

    mine, at the moment, is a m57 S&W 41 mag
    it is by far the most accurate handgun I have ever owned, and I have had a lot
    My next best is a Ruger flat top 44 special Bisley with 4.625" barrel

    Heck,, I've dropped a LARGE percentage of my handgun killed whitetails in their tracks. But,, many were also taken with a T/C Contender, and using a neck shot. Bust that spine and they drop DRT!!!!!!

    The 357 Herrett, and a Decent placement...Their Legs simply go out from under them!! The 44 Mag... Not nearly as Dramatic!!!
    Admittedly, I have shot very Few Deer with a revolver...Mostly Contender..couple with a Rifle even!!!
