Back when I first got my permit I went handgun hunting nuts and for a period used only a handgun for everything I hunted except for birds.I bought and tried a bunch of handguns, settled for the most part using a 6 1/2 inch S&W model 29 44 mag and a 6 inch Colt Python for Deer hunting, for small game I used the Python some but mostly a Colt Woodsman 22 autoloader and a S&W model 17 22. I took several deer with the big revolvers and a ton of small game with the 22s mostly Rabbits Chucks and Coons. As I got older and my eyes started going down hill I went back to long guns for most hunting but still play around with a couple of handguns now and then. What I am using these days is a Desert Eagle in 44 mag with a hard chrome finish and I still have my old S&W 17 22 which is my favorite, I used it one year for bullseye target shooting, it has been the handgun I have used most and it has taken a lot of small game.

So envious of that Python.

I have killed 12 deer with a handgun including my first deer ever. Most have been with a Dan Wesson 8in HV8 44mag. my farthest shot with any weapon on a deer was with a Remington XP-100 in 6MM BR. 150 paces.

Kenai holster just arrived. Didn't adjust straps yet. Going to get it to ride a little higher in the chest. Will be nice to simply unzip outer jacket and there she sits. Pretty happy with it.

Nice set up , wife and I use bandolier holsters and yes it is very nice having it right on the chest. Super easy walking and climbing  into tree stands.
