heres the thing, a cb revolver will drop a deer no problem. in this day and age the experts claim you need massive power, so i will summise with this list
ruger black hawk or redhawk in 45 colt
taurus 627 in 357 7 shot 4 inch barrel
taurus 44 5 shot 44 mag 4 inch barrel
most experts say the 4 inch barrel 357 is fine for bear defense, but with a 6 inch barrel would be barely worthwhile past 36 yards for whitetail, although the full power full weight magnum loads are used on hogs past that distance, and hogs are harder to puncture.
the taurus 44 is considered a good deer gun as well, but because the short cylinder limits bullets to 300 grains with a real short, wide shape, its not useful for hunting at any range.
the question is, what would actually be the best one?
