from the Michigan DNR website
In order for a person who is not a resident of Michigan to possess or use a handgun in this State, they must first have been issued a permit allowing them to carry a concealed weapon which is honored by their home state. This is not a hunting regulation, but a general Michiganpenal statute. A violation could result in a felony prosecution and forfeiture of the handgun.
Any caliber or gauge is legal north of the "Rifle-Shotgun Line" except a .22 caliber rimfire or smaller caliber rimfire rifle or pistol. All centerfire rifles and handguns and all shotguns are legal in this area regardless of caliber or gauge.
In the rifle zone, deer may be taken with handguns, rifles, bows and arrows, shotguns and muzzleloading firearms including black powder handguns. It is legal to hunt deer in the rifle zone with any caliber of firearm except a .22 caliber or smaller rimfire (rifle or handgun). Crossbows are legal to use by a person 12 years of age or older during the Nov. 15-30 firearm deer season.
the following is a link illustrating the shotgun line

Yes, you can, although I somewhat wonder why you would.
A 1911 would qualify as it is above the required .35 caliber, holds 9 rounds or less in magazine and chamber combined, and fires straight walled cartridges.
As to the .35 caliber requirement it is listed nowhere in the current DNR guide, but I very much think it should be.
It would only be able for use in rifle season/areas, and may be regulated further by local laws.
Likewise if you happened to have a Desert Eagle, the .44 Mag and .50AE variety would qualify. .357 would not as the capacity is over limit, and .440 Cor-bon would not as the cartridge is necked down.

NO you cannot.....Straight from the source... Michigan DNR.
During any Deer Season.......
"A conventional (smokeless powder) handgun must be a minimum of 35 caliber or larger and loaded with STRAIGHT WALLED cartridges and may be of single or multiple shot but cannot exceed a maximum capacity of 9 rounds in the barrel and magazine combined."

Only if the staples are larger than .24 caliber, expanding, and have 1000 foot-pounds of energy at 100 yards.

I would be unpleasantly surprised & shocked if you were allowed to use these types of firearms for hunting.**

I really do not think you could. Due to the fact of amount of rounds in mag...Most states have 5 round limits...
Just my opinion check your local laws..
