I've got a Springfield range Officer 9mm Target in the midst of a conversion to .38 Super, I'd hang onto that one, and a Ruger SR1911 Target in .45, likewise, and probably my Ruger Single Six convertible, which I shoot pretty darned good.

If I were to deer hunt with a handgun again, I'd probably just use the .45 and +P loads, and get closer. I'd keep the 9mm/.38Super because they're just fun as heck to shoot.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
