Revolver to KAP

[texasrig]

I'm considering getting a revolver for hunting pigs. Anyone do that? Do you have any recommendations for caliber or specific gun? Any pics of your setup?

I really like the look of the s&w m460V. Shoots 454 casul. Seems like that may be more power than would really be neccesary but man it's a pretty gun.

Thanks for any tips or feedback.

I shoot a Ruger Super Redhawk 7.5" in 454 Casull.

That's another great looking gun. Any complaints? Do you use an optic?

[ABroussard]

I like the ruger Alaskan 44 mag. My next one will be the 454 I think. Although my 357 mag has proved to be enough also.

I'd say the 44 mag would be hard to beat

[Mike D]

No complaints other than the recoil is let's just say brisk.

No optics. Killed a buck a couple years back at 55 steps with open sights.

Hunted with but never shot at anything, with my granddad's 6 inch 629 .44 mag
I had a doe at 3 yards last year, I was waiting for the buck behind her to come out, but he wasn't there he woulda been toast though!

I killed a couple out of my treestand several years ago with my Model 19 .357 mag shooting 158 gr soft points. I hate magnified optics on handguns so I just used the irons. Plenty good at 25-35 yds

I use a Ruger super red hawk 44 mag. Iron sights. Hard to beat.

I've killed several with a buddy of mines 460xvr. I shot them through the shoulders and they didn't take a step. Super cool wheel gun, but it's a lot of pistol to lug around. I personally like the ruger super blackhawk hunters and own a super redhawk that I like a lot.

I'm a diehard ruger 44 mag man I have let's just say 1 or 2 ruger 44s that I had before my boating accident. But one of these days I will get a s&w460 I love em. And I like the 460, 454 and 45lc option

Never shot anything hog size with a handgun but pretty sure .357 would work

[Phillip Fields]

I shoot a Ruger Super Redhawk 7.5" in 454 Casull.

This is what I have. Mine is topped with a Bushnell 2 X 6 variable scope. Have killed deer out to 100 yds

[texasrig]

Thanks for all the information. Is the 454 casul ammo hard to find?

[Mike D]

Most larger retailers carry it, I.E. Bass pro, cabelas, academy and of course lots more selections online.

In a pinch you can shoot 45LC.
