The 10" TC Contender's aren't too ungainly for a hunting pistol--and are considerably more svelte than a S&W X-frame, for instance--but I agree with you that the 14" guns, and particularly the so called "specialty pistols" that are equipped with rifle scopes and shot from tripods or other rests, are pretty far from my conception of "handgun hunting."
