I cannot do either reliably with a 1911. I think I could have got the one which stood up 5 yards away last year, turned broadside and bounded off. With the Ruger, I drew, pulled the hammer back and decided not to shoot as the deer was moving at that point.
Maybe I'm a yahoo, but with a Ruger SA, I'm looking at 3 - 5 secs to draw, aim and fire. With my 1911, I think I can do this under 2 sec in the field reliably.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that no one here could hit a running deer at 30 yards with a 1911 without it being considered extreme luck. There, I said it!
I'll go one step further, I'd bet that half the people here couldn't hit a deer that was standing still at 50 yards offhand with a 1911.

handguns would be fun, in Canada you can only have a handgun if you belong to a gun club and have to notify police everytime you take it out to gun club. You have to give them path to club and you can't go anyother route to club or you get charged. Very strick rules on handguns

It is a shame that people live under these kinds of laws anywhere in the world. Even worse that most people would consider Canada a free country.
Thanks everyone for all the good debate that this thread has achieved.
