Is the 38 special adequate enough...
several years ago I was toying with the idea of hunting with my old Taurus targetmaster. I'm comfortable shooting it and have gotten where I can hit pretty good with it. Understanding the limitations, would this be adequate for our smallish deer around here, given a proper load? I sought out the advice of a few experienced handgun hunters at my club, and they more or less advised against it. Is a 357 magnum considered the minimum for this?
