I can add this. Before rifles were allowed in NY it was shotgun or handgun. I was once field dressing a doe that I had taken with my slug gun. It was resting against a tree about 6-8 ft from me. I hear something coming and look up to see a 3pt buck coming. As it got closer I could see its front leg was basically shot off. I pulled my 4” model 10-5 from my holster and put one behind his shoulder at about 20’yds. Full pass through. Deer dropped within sight. Seems as though I had it loaded with 129gr partition gold rounds. It was my dads gun and that was my first year hunting without him. That’s why I was carrying it.
