Greetings all, sorry, but I’m a bit of a rookie at this.
I am considering trying my hand at hunting with a handgun. I’ve been looking into purchasing a .44 Mag. (S&W 629, Ruger SuperRedhawk, Taurus RagingBull, etc.) My initial intent was to use it to hunt wild pig/boar. However, I’ve been contemplating finding a weapon that would be suitable for deer and elk as well. In your opinion, is a .44 Mag. enough gun for elk? Or, should I consider moving up to .454, .480, etc. Any suggestions on a specific revolver?
