Greetings, New here

[416rigbya]

Greeting everyone,
Got into handgun hunting with a 10.5" Super Blackhawk 10-12 years back. Didn’t hunt much and getting skunked killed my motivation. But I finally dropped my first deer with a pistol last fall.I own a .22 Taurus 94, a Dan Wesson 15-2VH kit gun, and a .357 Max Contender. Now I’m working on my open sight shooting and want to add a .41 Blackhawk for deer. Love all the info here. Thanks!

Welcome

Welcome. Since you are planning on a .41 NMBH, for deer, I'd recommend getting after market grips for better control. I've had Hogue grips on mine since 1999.

A Henry rifle or carbine in the same caliber also makes a good companion gun for longer shots if you can't get close enough with the Ruger.

Hmmm, where in PA does one kill a deer in the middle of June? An exotic on a high fence preserve?

Welcome aboard. Deer season in June???? I guess if one needs food, I won't deny a family trying to survive, considering how much meat costs in the stores.

Thanks! I'll definitely look into the Hogue grips. A matching Henry in .41 would be a pretty sweet combo too.

Thanks! I should've worded that better. The deer was from last season—I was just sharing my handgun hunting journey, not saying I took one last weekend.
