If you can hit a moving coyote at 40 yards with ANY handgun, you've got my respect! Most folks couldn't hit a stationary sillouette consistently at that range.

Seriously, as someone else has already pointed out, I believe a .22 magnum would suit your purposes more than adequately. Some revolvers are even made with interchangeable cylinders in .22 mag/.22 long rifle.
