For the revolver get the Ruger.  I have shot 3 deers with mine.  The reason for the Ruger is that you can use hot loads on them, like the Buffalo Bore ammo or roll your own.

45LC is great on Deer within the kill range of the cartridge.

I shot this bck at about 80 paces with a good ol' whitebox winchester in 44mag, which is just about par with the 45lc+p if not a touch less potent. the deer took a couple steps and flopped. I would never be afraid to thunder a buck, or a bull with a well placed 45lc.
