Default RE: .17hmr pistols??

I' ve got a couple buddies out west KS that I run around with from time to time. They' ve all picked up .17HMR pistols for coyote hunting, they claim they get great results out to 100yrds as long as they do their part they say. I watched them take a couple at about 65yrds, it worked very well, surprisingly. Theirs are all these little pocket pistols, 6" bbls with 5rnd cylinders, spur triggers, satin stainless finish, I don' t know who makes them, there' s at least one of them in every pawn shop I go to though. They sure were hot little devils though, and REALLY GREAT SHOOTERS!! On my first shot with one I hit the bottom of a beer can at 50paces~50yrds (mine are close, but not quite perfect yet). If I' d ever get one, that' d be it for sure, don' t feel any need to get a regular varminting pistol with as good as those shoot, they' re cheap too.
