I own several center fire pistols and have never had the opportunity to shoot at a deer with one when hunting. I have a model 57 S&W .41 Mag. 6" barrel, a Ruger Blackhawk .41 Mag. 4 barrel, a S&W .357 Mag. 5" barrel, Thompson Contender .44 Mag. 14" barrel. All of these are more than capable on the game that I hunt.
I CCW a Glock 30 .45ACP which has a 3.78" barrel and is not legal to hunt deer with in OK. because the barrel has to be at least 4" long. My ability to shoot all of the above pistols accurately is 50 yards so closer is always better.
So I will either get a 5" barrel for the Glock 30 or buy a 5" 10mm conversion barrel (& new magazines & ammo or reloading dies, etc.) for the Glock. Shoud I get the 10mm conversion barrel or just get the standard 5" .45ACP barrel which I can & do reload for?
Again I will only shoot at a deer if I am positive I can make a good clean killing shot on it.
