I just finished reading Max's new book on Hunting Revolvers. I've been using the same .44 SB for years and wanting to get into a hunting handgun more modern. It definitely gave me a lot to think about. It will become a reference book for me I'm sure. One thing I found interesting in the book was in the chapter with the more famous handgun hunters in the rear of the book. It seemed as though they all used the 454. Not all but most. I also had not thought about the dot-sight. That really got me thinking. My eyes are not what they used to be. Anyway thanks for writing it. It really helped me go in the right direction.
Cessna, thank you for the kind words. Posts like yours make the overwhelming labor well with the effort. Thank you!
Red dots are a great alternative to open iron sites as they don't magnify. While relatively long shots can be taken with a red dot, I personally like the up close and personal aspect of handgun hunting and the red dot helps particularly as the eyes get older. Plus, they are great in low light!
