For me if its not a .22/45, it's my G20 in a chest rig.

This thread is super awesome… me, myself I use a Ruger Mkiii 2245 with a 5.5 inch barrel for the exact same thing that you're doing… Great fun!!

Open sighted Ruger SBH Bisley Hunter .44 mag or long slide 10mm 1911 ... Or red dot G20 10mm. Have taken three with a 10mm in one form or another and will be trying again with the .44 this year. I try to get as close as possible like a bow shot.

I don't actually LIVE in the area I hunt, which means there, in fact, isn't much to "do" before the hunt other than read articles, read maps, talk to friends and landowners (if I see any), go shooting, load ammo, check the bow, check my gear, etc etc..... Also, its tough to get out shooting...

This thread is delicious

OP, I use either the Howard Leight banded plugs above and the Howard Leight Impact Sports electronics when stalking. But you're right ... This is the single bigger thing about hunting deer in thick woods with a .44 or 10mm handgun: finding a way to protect your ears while not sacrificing...

Peter has it. Hammer spring and FB FPS is the answer.

Not at all, Big Shrek! Although I would stay away from anything sharp like G10 sandpaper grips. But any good smooth wood will be fine and the metal frame of a 1911 will be no prob. I just prefer chain link to stippling or checkering. Rubber wraparound grips (on ANYTHING, for that matter) are a...

I have a SBH Bisley hunter and use it with irons only out to 40-50 yards which is where I see deer 99% of th time. I had a red dot on it at one time but I ended up moving it to my 22/45. Irons all the way!

rcmodel is exactly right .... but, just so you know, any .44 load will probably hurt ;)

TopoMaps on iPhone ... been using it for years and have tried EVERY other app available .... nothing beats topomaps for pure functiionality if you ask me....

ZeroJunk, magnum pistols ARE different, yes. :)

My FF3 is holding up just fine on my .44 mag Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter ... Love it.

I have owned both and have very small hands. I prefer the 22/45 by far.
