Everyone that shoots it is amazed. It's quite accurate and easy to hit reasonable targets. If the sights were bigger I could see that it would be easy to hit a chicken size critter or bunny to sneaky stalking distances. The often dismissed .25 ACP is more potent than many think. It will drill a 1/4" hole pretty deep and the guns are always reliable.

While I'm no Al Goerg it would be fun to try it to humanely take a small critter for the pot.

JD Jones also wrote of some early connection to a .25 Auto. Myself, my first real centerfire handgun was a Beretta M1919 made in 1934, it had Waffen stamps on it too.

Funny how some odd guns influence us early on. Gary told of his dad having this cheap .22 Short revolver. I have one just like it, an RG. A friend shot himself through the index finger with it and I still have it (Super-X 29 gr. HP). They were afraid to go to the hospital as they knew the cops would be called. Tylenol and hydrogen peroxide fixed it. Leonard died of lung cancer 3-4 yrs. afterward. He smoked a bunch.
