[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1194850, member: 7123"] Yeah, that's what I meant; thank you. :) Interesting, yes, and I believe that.... BUT, I submit that with a smallish / lightish scope, and the right holster for it (a chest holster specifically designed for a scoped revolver), they are really not that much harder to carry. (but a pain to shoot offhand, yes, that's true). And they are much easier to carry than a scoped rifle. And they will increase your practical range a bit over iron sights - at least they do for me, with not-so-great eyesight. I wouldn't shoot past about 40 yards with a 4" revolver, past 50 or 60 with a 6" revolver, or past about 75 yards with an 8". But I'd feel comfortable letting loose at 150+ with a scoped revolver that I know is accurate, assuming I have practiced my holdovers. In any event, if handgun hunting mood struck me, I'd still MUCH rather hunt with a scoped Contender, Thor, or similar, than a revolver - what if an opportunity arises while you are not expecting it and you don't have your plugs in? You're ready for anything with a handgun with no cylinder gap blast. [/QUOTE]
