Does anyone still hunt with a handgun?

I am looking to 'blood; my 45 Bisley this fall. I had a mount installed to accept a red dot in place of the read sight and I love it. I just have regular "old man eyes" at 50 and I'm struggling with irons. The dot sights have been life changing with a handgun
I had a Ruger bisley in 45 Colt. I killed a lot of deer and hogs with that gun. It was extremely accurate.
 
Loaded up some 200 gr. Speer "magnum" hollow points, bullets no longer made on top of 10.5 grs. of Unique. This probably gives around 1400 fps out of my 10" Contender . Keeping velocity low to preserve penetration. It still expands and sails through three gallon milk jugs at 50 yards and is a tackdriver, I am taking with me next trip and since it's a meat hunt probably pictures to follow.
