I did have a RedHawlk with a scope I used for black bear in Michigan's UP...it was a 'kicker'...

Stay safe!

Redhawks with scopes make some fine hunting handguns. Mine is a stainless .41mag that I have been using for over 20 years to harvest Texas game up to and including a Trophy Spotted Fallow Deer. Handloads topped with the Hornady XTP gets the job done.

I have a 44 mag barrel for my TC but tend now to take out the SRH .454 with either the hot Hornady 300 XTP loadings - or same bullets in a comparable homeload.

The 45-70 BFR will also I think make an excellent hunting revo.

+1 on the 330gr XTP in a 454 SRH, will get the job done in a humane fashion.....

Most of you mentioned the 44 with longer barrels. I got a a Taurus Tracker with a 4" barrel for backpacking/camping emergencies. Would 300 or 330 grain be my best choice? Btw, my run ins with local "inhabitants" could mean a black bear.

A .44 Contender barrel, ya say... I hope it isnt a hexigon barrel. The worse handgun recoil I ever felt was from a 10" hexigon Contender.

Ive used my 14" .30-30 barrel on my G2 Contender, it has a Millit reflex sight mounted on it. I never had a shot at a buck while hunting with it.

Usually I go with Corbon or Buffalo Bore ammo are the best Handgun

hunting ammo I have used for larger game.
