Hunting Eastern PA with .45 Colt SAA
I recently got a Uberti SAA .45 Colt revolver, 7 1/2" barrel, and I want to use it for woods hunting for deer in SE PA. I know that super-heavy loads are nor needed for deer with this cartridge-I plan on using a SWC 250 grain lead bullet at about 900-1000 FPS for my GP load. I have been shooting various SA revolvers among other handguns for over 35 years, and really prefer the feel of the SAA to a Ruger or other newer design, and besides I own 2 SAA's right now.
Is there an advantage to the longer barrel other than the sight radius? I have yet to try it at the range, but I can see the sights just fine with my 60 year old eyes, and I have never owned a SAA revolver that was not accurate.
Thanks for any of your experiences or information on hunting with these revolvers or with the .45 Colt in general.

Just make sure where you hunt isn't special regs. the handgun would not be legal in those areas.
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
