[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2008439, member: 9299"] If you are a proficient handgun shot with irons, either of those will do, and a scope will only make it better. I have used open and scope sighted handguns since the 70's, and used open sights during many years of IHMSA matches and hunting. They work, but do require a little more practice. I have used the 357 mag to take several head of game, and many of those were from an open sighted 8" Dan Wesson and 6 1/2" Ruger, but of course, the 44 mags work very well also. I've used 357 bullets from 140 hard cast SWC at 1,600fps in the 8" DW, 158 hard cast, 158 Sp/HP, 165 SP partition hand swaged, and 180's SP/HP and 180/200 hard cast for bear. In the Contenders, it is an entirely better range and choice of spire bullets. The 44's can be loaded to take everything from rabbits to elk and at longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
