Some handguns were made for defense, some were made for specialized target shooting, and some indeed were made for hunting. BTW, not all handguns are pistols- autoloaders and single shots are pistols, but handguns such as the Colt Peacemaker are revolvers. Handguns such as the .44 Magnum, .454 Cassul, the .460, S&W .500 are VERY large revolvers that are frequently used for hunting. Single shot pistols in rifle calibers, such as the Thompson/Center pistols are also used as hunting firearms. Even a .22 target pistol, such as the Ruger or Colt Woodsman may be used to hunt small game.
Pistols were probably first made for hunting purposes or because of war.
