My choice would be another 4 5/8 44 mag or 45 Colt in SS this time.

I like the looks of a 4-5/8" single action but I've carried a 5-1/2" for almost 30 years. They point well and when time is of the essence you want a gun that points in the right direction. I've got plenty of 44's and 45 Colts. I like them both but because I started along time ago I mostly have carried 44's. 45 Colts are a strong 2nd choice. Next decisions are plow handle or bisley. I've carried a plow handle for almost 50 years. Just starting to get used to bisleys. Bottom line you have to decide for your self.

Hard to go wrong with any of the above mentioned, had been staying in the 357s until recently. Bought a 4 5/8 45 convertable from buds about a month ago as i couldn't find a 629 local. have mostly shot the ACP cylinder, and with 200 gr lead SWC it is a super accurate hand gun. Waiting on my order from Starline for 45 LC brass as they are almost impossible to find local. But lo and behold was in the fun shop yesterday and they had a 629 classic 5" nib for a very reasonable price. already had some store credit so it was a no brainer and shot it today. Now its a toss up as to which one will get carried in the deer woods.

In the Ruger,which is plenty stout,I lean toward the 45LC.With the limited ranges you mentioned and the game your hunting,I think that a hot 45LC, would be tough to beat."There's no substitution for cubic inches"!!!! memtb
