Is the 38 special adequate enough...
I've always been of the thought that ifnits good enough to shoot a man, it's good enough for a deer. No, the .38 isn't the optimal caliber but I've seen deer run off never to be found when hit with a 12 ha slug and a .50 cal muzzle loader with .429 Hornady XTP's. I would think a handloads with a good expanding hollow point and a good broadsides shot and you'll have meat in the freezer. Personally I get so little time to hunt, I want every advantage I can get! If I had more opportunity, I'd love to try out some various handguns I own.
