I wish I could tell you that this gun could shoot a fly off a turd at 50 paces . . . . but I can't . . In fact if your more than 20 feet from your target you better have an extra clip. Because of the short barrel it just isn't the most accurate gun made. One night I was headed to the ranch and as I rounded a corner on the highway in the road in front of me was a deer that had just been hit by a car and was badly injured. It was a sad sight watching this deer try to pull itself off the road with its back legs broken . . . I put my flashers on and jumped from my truck with my Colt 25 knowing that I could get some shit from a game warden for "hunting" out of season but that deer needed to be put out of its misery. The little colt did its job and I pulled the deer off the road and said a few religious type things and rolled down the road to the ranch. No easy answer here as not everyone has a gun and is willing to stop and euthanize a large animal when they hit it so sadly these animal suffer until they die from there injury's . . upside is fat coyotes which we deal with next week I like this gun for the simple reason that it can be carried very discrete and is easy to operate . . you'll just have to get close enough to introduce yourself before it's effective. When teaching young people how to shoot safely the first rule is to respect the gun Be safe Idiots Coffee4You, MR.THJ, HellKid and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear you saw the need to put that deer down. Most people would just cringe and keep driving. Leadfinger and ANGU5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It was not easy, but I did what had to be done. I had my crew with me on the way to the rock crusher, 3 of them kept sniffling for the rest of the drive.
