Scope in search of a pistol

[union]

I bought a Leupold FX II 4x28 handgun scope today at a good price. My original intent was the replace the burris on my Ruger Super Redhawk. I've never been happy with it but it certainly looks the part. I think now I might have changed my mind. The Ruger doesn't get a lot of use and unlike the Burris which is silver the Leupold is black and appears mismatched. So now to the question at hand. I am starting my look for a pistol to mount the Leupold to. I am not in any hurry to buy and I've put zero thought into it so far. Open to suggestions so have at it.

a 4x presumes a hunting rig, and 50-150 yds distances. quite an interesting setup, but i would think, a very specific thing.
like some pictures in this thread, if you have a taste for such things.

Leupold FXII 4x28mm handgun scope - reviews by hunters who have used, PLEASE.

Well. . .I'm finally succumbing to the fact my eyes and iron sights are dwindling away, I'll be 50 years old in another 6 weeks. I love my handgun hunting and Leupold optics, which has me looking at the Leupold FXII 4x28mm scope for my hunting irons. Any of you forum members who handgun hunt...

lol i'd want to put a sling on that thing and carry it hasty style. would probably work out a super quiet holster system for a bipod too.

Also, good call picking the optic first and then the gun.
