Deer Hunting with a 1911A1


Question:
Does anyone have any experience with this? Describe your experience


Answer:
I'm sure most of us put more rounds though our handguns than our rifles, I sure do! But I think the proper question should beI can't even come close and it doesn't sound like you can either. While shooting 5" groups at 45 yards is pretty darn good for target shooting I don't concider it sufficent for hunting, *especially* with such a light caliber. You (incorrectly) assume a .45acp isn't much less of a "stopper" than a .50 cal ball from a Hawken rifle, then tell us not to tell you about energy because shot "placement is number one. If your main interest is hunting with a lighter weapon, I'd suggest you buy a (used) S&W 6" M-686, add a 2X scope and buy a suitable hunting-type shoulder holster.
