I have six 45 Colt’s, three of which are Ruger Hunter’s. They sure are accurate. I searched quite some time for a NMBH Bisley Hunter in .45 Colt but was never successful. Even a non-Bisley Hunter would have been nice……. I have one of each.

My folks got me a .45 Colt for a graduation present, it was one of those Colt Cowboy revolvers. It was great until the cylinder stop took a dump. After getting it fixed I traded it for a Ruger Vaquero. Love it!
I’ve not used it to take game animals but have used it to put down livestock over the years, it works well.
Someday I plan to get an Uberti 1873 or maybe a Rossi 1892 rifle to go with the handgun.

There used to be a gravel pit here where they allowed people to shoot. I was there shooting one day and saw a guy shooting a revolver from 100 yards. I went and talked to him and he was eager to talk about handgun hunting. He was shooting a Super Blackhawk but shooting 44 Specials. He was an amazing shot. His groups were better than some people I have seen there with a rifle. He was in a deer lease where only handguns were allowed for hunting. He said he killed a deer or 2 every year.

I’ve killed a couple deer with a .44 magnum. One with a Ruger Redhawk and 225 grain Speer half jacketed SWC hollow point. One with a 6” S&W 629 and a 240 grain Hornady XTP. I acquired a 5 1/2” Ruger Bisley Blackhawk in .45 Colt several years ago. If I carry it deer hunting, it’s loaded with a 45-270-SAA hard cast SWC pushed by HS6 powder at about 1100 fps. Haven’t shot a deer with it yet though.

Have you ever gotten on the tube and watch Hickok45 perform his magic with pistols?
