Gun Owning Smokers

I did it again went shopping for mace to run the squirrels out my attic and found a gun.
Paragon cs 12 gauge double barrel for my shed gun.
$175 so it was in my price range for a gun ill keep in my shed.

I really have a problem when i cant pick up a simple can of bear spray with out getting a new gun.
Well on the bright side if macing the squirrels dont work out i can always use my new toy to finish the job.

LOL

I suffer a similar addiction which is only held in check by a lack of funds

Nice side-by-side!

That pistol, is it a Ruger? Looks like a .22 maybe??

That is a Heritage rough rider 22, It will shoot all 22, L , LR, Short and WMR.
I picked it up because i had a old 22 revolver when i was 10 or 11 years old and miss shooting them.
The ruger single six is on my list of guns i want but have not found at a decent price yet.

I own a single six. It's a combination .22/.22 magnum

I even went so far as to get a custom western style holster made for it...........LOL

I love it! As usual, it's a straight shooting gun (does Ruger make any other kind!?!?) and I use it to get rid of a lot of offsize ammo that won't go through my Ruger 10/20 carbine or Mark III Hunter. I bought a thousand rounds of .22 long and they're a tad shorter than the long rifles so it's the only gun I can shoot them in other than the old Cooey single shot. I've never tried shorts through the Single Six but I wager it'd shoot those too.

The Ruger Mark III is totally awesome. Combined with the quick clip loader manufactured by McFadden (link below)

A guy can go through a brick of .22's in no time flat.

I have not seen 22 long in over 2 years
22LR is not that hard to find but long and short are hard to find. " i have to order them off the net and pay ridiculous shipping"
I like shooting shorts out of my Remington 121 feildmaster is almost like shooting a pellet guns it is so silent.

LOL - quiet indeed!

Yeah, I picked the Long's up at an auction if I remember correctly and God only knows how long whomever had them before he hung onto them. To be honest, I didn't notice they were longs until I went to shoot them the first time...........LOL Then I was like "Crap!" because they didn't work in the Mark III or the 10/20. Had I noticed at the auction, I wouldn't have bothered buying them. But in the end, they work perfectly in the Single Six so they will still get used.

If I'm remembering correctly, .22 shorts are one of the few subsonic shells right from the factory. If you combined them with a suppressor, they would be almost silent. I watched a video on youtube of a guy shooting a Mark III Hunter with an integral suppressor that was very quiet considering it was shooting LR's. I went looking for it and couldn't find it but did find this one:

Amazing how quiet it is. At what looks like 50 yards to me, the ding is louder than the shot. Gotta love the military lingo too........."can" "pills" etc........LOL

Here is a video of shorts its not out of a 121 but damn near the same sound.
It like having a suppressed gun but no tax stamp needed.
