I am looking at a Ruger GP 100 in 357 magnum but i am concerned about that having enough power for deer. plenty of power imo I used to hunt with a smith 357 but never got a shot.
I killed this deer with a model 19 smith n wesson in the .357 mag...iron sights..

I have Ruger GP100 in .357 Magnum never taken it hunting but would not b affraid to It is a very accurate pistol with the rite load and the deer being at the rite distance you shouldnt have any problem with killing one.

about 20 feet,...but I have killed em up to 30 yrds or so with the 357....the reason I started shooting the 44 was I felt a little more comfortable at stretching the distance with it...I put a scope on the 44 also...

A couple of years ago a hung up my deer rifle for a contender pistol. Mine (no pic)has a 16" barrel, scope and this folding stock by choate tool. Its good out to 150 and almost as light as my 44 S&W revolver. Sweet rig for sho. They make a velcro bullet holder that mounts around the forearm of a contender stock that is pretty nifty. I think its 6$ sportmansguide.com
