I took that little gun everywhere with me as I tramped through farm fields looking for cottontails.

That gun went to college with me, too, and eventually was passed on to one of my sons for his 13th Christmas.

He still has it. It's still in immaculate shape and as accurate as ever. I wish I had a picture to post.

Bottom line...they're great little guns.
