I have a friend that wants to start using a hand gun for deer hunting here in IL ,he got the bug from me while I was sighting in a new scope on my 454 encore . He shot mine several times but wants something with less recoil and does not want a single shot. The only expereance I have with hunting pistols is with single shot so I am looking for some choices to consider. Most hunting will be from treestands out to 50yrds but maybe the occasional 100 yrd shot he would also like to scope it. All suggestions would be appreciated. Kurt
