For all around hunting but especially if you're hunting large game I would think if you're bringing a handgun you would want something of a large powerful caliber. This would apply to a handgun that you carry for backup when your primary weapon would be a long gun but it would be especially true if you're hunting with just a handgun in which case the handgun would be your primary weapon. If Im hunting with just a handgun I would want at least a .44 Magnum. As Im a big Ruger fan Im thinking either a Redhawk or a Super Redhawk. I've got both guns and the Super Redhawk seems more suited for hunting while the classic Redhawk seems more suited for personal defense.
