[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 102226, member: 704"] Squirrels with a Ruger 10/45 and suppressor. A couple of deer with the 357, then went to the 44 mag. One deer with the 45ACP. The 44 is sure versatile I think. Nine gr of Unique below a 240 cast will kill everything from cottontail to deer. Averages about 1100 fps. Doesn't blow up cottontail. Normally for deer though I'll put 22 gr of 2400 under the 240 for deer. Sometimes I shoot the Hornady 300 gr with the double cannelure. Now I just reserve that for things that may want to taste me out in the mountains. A few years ago I bought a small 9mm Smith Shield for concealed carry. Then a full size Smith Military and Police. I hated he trigger, and I have a Springfield XD in 45 with a good trigger so I traded that on a Springfield XDM competition with the 5.25 inch barrel. That's the best shooting semiauto centerfire that I have ever shot. I have not found a skunk or anything to whack with it yet. Loading the 124 gr Lyman Devastator at 1000 fps. Went out last night looking for a victim, but no luck. Oh, I should mention my arms are not long enough for my old eyes to focus well on handguns (any gun) sights that well so I put a Burris Fastfire III on it. Mmmmmm that sucker shoots soooooo nice.
