A 4 5/8 in. .45 Blackhawk 250 gr XTP, now with an ultradot or a 7 1/2 in Super Redhawk .480 with 325 gr XTP or 355 gr WFNGC scoped. I like to keep both under a hundred for deer and hogs. Have a Ruger Bisley .45 with peep that my son uses more than me with either a 300 gr cast or a 250 gr XTP. Prefer open sights but eyes are a changing and you can't hit what you can't see so optics.
