To the OP, would you use the open sights on that revolver for hunting or would you use a red dot sight or scope ?

As you said yourself, it takes a good shot to consistently hit a target (dead centre or not) with a .357 with open sights, and even getting consistently close grouping could be difficult.

I fired a .44 Model 29, same as clint eastwood used (well his character anyway) in a London shooting range once with my father and that thing packed such a recoil it nearly tore my shoulders from their sockets, I was only about 17 though and a bit of a weedy bugger.

The owner of the gun whose arms were like tree trunks was shooting it one handed and my father and I watched amazed, since we had both experienced the recoil on the gun.

Also what slugs do you use for hunting ??

A Hollow point or maybe FMJ, as long as it has good mushrooming quality, I guess.
