Ok, as usual, I put the cart before the horse, so I'm wondering how deep, if at all, I've gotten myself. By brother and I were considering handgun hunting and I like the blackhawk hunter. So, when a 7.5" Blackhawk Hunter came up in 45 Colt I figured I had an excellent deer gun. I don't reload, but have read that there is ample ammo from Car Bon and the like so it shouldn't be a problem.
The Ruger I bought has the standard grip and not the Bisley. How much recoil does the Bisley absorb? SA revolvers tend to roll anyway and this won't be target gun for me. I'll practice to become proficient and stay fresh, but it's no plinker.
I'm also considering a 45 Colt as a defense against bears, sicne they seem to be appearing closer and closer to our hunting areas. I know everyone recommends adjustable sites, but I thought a Uberti or other cowboy gun in 4 5/8" might make a nice carry gun. I can adjust the front site as need with a hammer or file!
Thoughts?
