I would like some opinions on handgun hunting. I'm going to be purchasing a Ruger single-action that I want to use for fun shooting and also for hunting. The advice I'm looking for is which caliber to use. I'm leaning towards a .45LC/.45ACP combo gun because:
1. My primary CCW is a SA Mil Spec 1911A1 and for budget reasons I can also shoot the .45 ACP out of the Ruger .45LC/.45ACP.
2. I'm thinking that .45LC would be sufficient for short-range hunting here in Western Washington. Of course, I wouldn't be going after elk with this gun.
I know that .44 Mag would be a sufficient round for hunting but I'm not 100% positive about the .45LC.
Can anyone give me some advice from experience?
