I may put a red dot on it. However, I want to use this revolver to learn to be just to be a somewhat decent shot with open sights since I'm a novice with handguns. What red dot do you use?
A really nice red dot for this gun would be a Burris FastFire3 or Vortex Venom. Both are a quality sight, small enough to fit in an Uncle Mikes type holster, and adjust nicely for brightness and sighting in.I may put a red dot on it.

Thanks, I'll look into those red dots. And I prolly won't shoot off a rest since I'll be hunting in a deer stand. There is a railing on it that I might be able to shoot off of I haven't been up there or received my revolver yet to check. if it takes another year for me to be good enough then that's fine. I just don't want to wound a deer.
That's only your opinion. If Justin can use a rest and keep his shots within the 4" group there's no reason he can't hunt with his handgun. What he needs to do is shoot within his ability, and that might be using a rest. It's up to him to control himself, just like anyone else. I'm sure there are handicapped people hunting with handguns (and rifles also) that have to use a rest in order to make a good shot. As long as they do that, it's up to them to decide whether or not they should be taking the shot.Justin,
Until you can put five shots into a 4" bullseye at 25 yds using a standing, two-hand hold on demand, you have no business hunting deer.
That's the minimum.

...Alot of internet shooters can easily do that, but in the real world after attending many, many competitions and CCW qualifying classes, fewer actual shooters can achieve that consistently.
Is that a 25 yard NRA timed and rapid fire target?The bull in the pic is something like 3.8" in diameter.
I got a crossbow now and that took me about 10 bolts to shoot better than I could with a compound bow lol. Ready to shoot my first revolver.
It's a 20 yard timed or rapid fire target. Actual bull size is 3.78". I took the liberty of rounding it up to 3.8".....close enough.Is that a 25 yard NRA timed and rapid fire target?
