I would go S&W Stealth Hunter if I was getting into serious handgun hunting. Top rail for scope and a matte black finish so deer can't pick up the reflection. https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/performance-center-model-629-stealth-hunter
Even assuming that the MSRP on that were down in the $1100-$1200 range, that's not exactly the sort of gun that most people just plunk down for.
Yeah, Im ok with putting down ~$800, but Im not really looking to go for a 1.2k handgun...
That being said, I never considered the reflective finish on the S&W being an issue while hunting. All my hunting shotguns are either camo or wood, so I never thought about it before. Ill definitely take that into consideration.
I think Id love to go super blackhawk if I could figure out how to mount a red dot on it. I wish I could just throw some rails on it and call it a day. I much prefer the red dot over a scope, I dont plan on taking any 50yd+ shots with it.
