Pistol or revolver while bowhunting?

[TomB]

I carry a bond arms deringer with the first barrel with a 410 buckshot. The second barrel has a 45 long colt in it. I carry two extra rounds of the long colt.

My 1911 .45 stays on my hip when I'm at the lease.

She's from New York. She can't help it.

I like the spray a semi auto can provide if needed.

That's why I was leaning to the pistol....

Whatever you can shoot best!

That is the best advice. I carry my xd9 subcompact but it is my main carry gun.

Ruger SR9 with the 17 clip.

I always carry. Glock 27 -- .40 cal --- Crimson Trace Laser
Just the smart to do.... ya never know when the opportunity to kill something will pop up

Exactly! I always carry my Glock 30 w/ 200 gr Barns coppers,& a CT laser. A semi-auto might give me a semi chance of hitting more than one piggy.

G20 10mm when on public land. Otherwise, a 1911 or large frame revolver gets toted whenever I feel like carrying something different.

[BigDraw]

I carry my glock 45, with 13 in the mag and one in the pipe

Pistol would be my choice.

It does, does it?! Lived there 18 years, here 15 but I'm more Texan than yankee!

That's right! The kind of awesomeness that comes with me can only be a combination of a lot of Texan and a little bit of yankee!

OK. Maybe we can cut ya a little slack. But just a little.

I like revolvers for the power and accuracy. If it were going to be an auto, I'd have to say it'd be a Wildey .44 Auto Mag, or a Desert Eagle.

But I've been know to carry my single shot Contender with a 10" barrel for the most part, in .45LC . But their custom loads I've worked up and would blow a Colt apart in a heartbeat. They'll will lay a hog down with out a prob if I do my part on the first shot, cause a second shot is not a probability .

Why not just get a semi-auto revolver? They only cost $3000 for a mateba


or twice that for a fosbery (coolest handgun ever)

Why would you choose a pistol when you could carry a handgun?
