Seeing that you don't like the "looks" of the Blackhawk, does that mean that you have to have a pistol that will match your Baggies and Flip-Flops?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Ruger GP100 with the 6" barrel. Got a coyote the other day with it. Super awesome gun! Mine had the SA reduced to 1# and the DA reduced to 4# though, it's a tack driver with the SA!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

Ruger all the way - Blackhawk or GP 100 six inch bbl. Either is easily scoped. I'm a confirmed S&W fella, probably due to carrying one when on duty. But for hunting, I'd go with the Ruger. My shooting buddy has dropped a good number of deer with the scoped Ruger Blackhawk. I use a bow or my flintlock but I wouldn't hesitate to use a handgun.

Have you considered the .41 in a Ruger, Not as much bang as the .44 but more than a.357.

Friday I have to go to town, there's no S&W dealer but there's a Ruger one, hopefully they have a GP 100 in stock to check out.


At the moment the Ruger is ahead  of the S&W on the race, the Taurus dropped out.
