been my favorite squirrel hunting handgun for the last 37 years. It hates every hyper velocity ammo I’ve fired in it, but it loves most standard velocity ammo. For hunting tree rats, I‘ve found Mini Mags are it’s favorite....so I have enough on hand to last me a lifetime or two. I brought it to the 2014 HHC and Gary told me it was set up pretty much like one he had. I’d hate to guess how many squirrels I’ve shot with it through the years, but it’s a lot. In my opinion hunting squirrels with that K-22 has been the best preparation for deer hunting that I can think of. If you can consistently pick off squirrels with a .22 LR handgun, you should have no problem hitting a deer. When deer season rolls around here in Pennsylvania, I pick up my Stealth Hawk in .410 GNR and I hunt deer on our farm in pretty much the same way I hunt squirrels. The K-22 is my first and favorite handgun.
