When I am hunting I usually carry one of my 44 specials the barrel length vary from 4" to 5 1/2" I sometimes carry a 510 Reeder, 45 colt, 44 magnum. I have other guns with longer barrels and different calibers but I don't carry them. One of the nicest shooting guns I have is a stock Smith from the 80's with I believe a 4" barrel in 45 long colt, its accurate and fits like a glove. I am no longer a handgun hunter haven't been for the last 30 years I carry it for rattle and cotton mouth snakes down in the South Carolina swamps, hogs if I get a shot within 50 yards and if necessary as a finish off gun if I have to track up a wounded deer or hog. My loads with the 50 caliber down thru the 44s are in the 900 fps I figure at close range that is plenty adequate.
