Ive made the leap into the world of Handgun hunting and purchased a new Super Redhawk. I almost went with the S&W 629, but thought the SRH would go well with my 10/22, and I figured the Ruger would withstand things better over time than the 629.
So I now have some questions;
Scopes? When looking at "reddot" scopes what is the differance between a 1" obj. and a 30MM odjective and is a fixed 5 moa dot good enough for deer or should I consider the variable moa dot?
Ammo? Is a 240gr Nosler Partition bullet sufficient to take deer up to 50 yards? I want to keep my shots with this thing down to fifty yards - anything else and I'll use my rifle.
Holsters? Any suggestions? Its use would be strickly hunting.
Does it hurt? I shot a 629 with a 4" barrel a few years ago and dont recall it being nothing too painfull to shoot. But my hands didnt bother me as much then
I really bought this SRH as an excuse to relaod for 44 mag and I think it will be nice to hunt with out of a tree stand.
Any feedback of any kind would be nice. I hope to get to the range with it tommarow to see if it hurts

one is willing to pay the price!
Oh yeah, I might wait until the end of the week to go to the range with this thing so I want to know what is the best way to break in a pistol like this?
