    I don't want one, I have a holster for one and will send it to someone in need of one is why I was asking. I should have been more specific.

    I traded my pistol years ago for a tuner for my Duramax but kept the holster. Realize now I'm not buying another one so no point in hanging onto the holster.

    I bought a purple one for $100 once. I bought it for my sister. It wouldn’t cycle most ammo reliably. It would cycle the hotter stuff like CCI Stingers. I sold it for $100.

    Finally found the ammo that my Crosman Nitro Venon air rifle (.22) prefers. The Crosman Red Flight Penetrator 16.7 grain Lead Free. Zeroed at 25 yds from my back guest room window - happens to be the best location for spotting squirrels and groundhogs.

    Hmmmm, I might have to try these. I've just always used old fashioned hunting ammo. These are fancy...........almost match my 9mm lipstick ammo.

    My previous gamo air rifles (.177) would shoot most ammo consistently. This one has been very picky. Even with this ammo, there's an occasional stray.

    Yea, those .177's are supersonic compared to a .22
    They send most hunting rounds like I throw a football after a bunch of shots of tequila.

    Heheehehe, that was a funny one.

    I bought this to deter squirrels form eating my bird seed. It's almost unfair for them. It's a Benjamin Trail NP Nitro Piston .22 w/Synthetic Stock, Matte Barrel and a 3-9x 40mm AO Scope. It was a little pricey at the time but it's a hoot to shoot and the single shot break barrel gives them a little advantage if the first shot is off.

    I'll be able to pass this one down to my nephews son who will be two this November.

    I shoot the one at the top. Tried the other two but wasn't successful. Those RWS Superdome's were so inconsistent it was pitiful. The Kodiak's were ok but this rifle is happier at the 50+ yard range and they are just a little slow at that range. The JSBs are the sweet spot and while they're a little fast. It takes the squirrels a little while to know their dead though but accuracy is what counts.

    A great combo for riding the SxS around the property.

    .22LR is a little light for hogs isn’t it? I’ve got a 4” steel hung about 50 yards from where I’m pumping out the pond and plinking at it now and then, mainly concerned about water moccasins though.

    The rifle is a suppressed 10/22, it just doesn’t look like it because of the accessories :D
    Pistol is a Sig P320 in 9mm with the tungsten grip module.

    I got excited when I saw either GOA or FPC post it on IG, what I find funny is I was just talking to my cousins (in cali) about them getting an FFL and having a gun shop aide business to have easier access to ammo.

    That would surely help with firearm purchases.

    Yep, I’ve tried .22 shot shells, .22 bird shot (metal crimped case, not the plastic cup tip) and the shotshells in .38 special, and 9mm. I’ve only used the .22 stuff on rats for quick shots and it works ok (the birdshot works better, more power but more spread due to no cup) the 9mm stuff was surprisingly weak, it took 2 shots to go through a brute rubber trashcan at about 3 yards, and dad uses the .38 special stuff in his 686+ and he’s taken a few snakes with it.

    Oh absolutely, if they decide to jump through the hoops (Cali is worse than federal) they could be your dealer, one lives in OB and the other in Poway, the shop would probably end up in Poway due to San Diego city’s zoning.

    I've been wondering about that 9mm stuff for the occasional ground hog. Problem is, the damn shit is expensive as hell. The sneks will just have to deal with me taking them up into the woods to let them go. They're rarely poisonous here at the house. I did recently see some short shotshells. I feel like I've been living under a rock. Those look cool.
