CCI Mini Mags....my 10/22 loves them and I couldnt even begin to tell you how many coons Ive knocked out for dogs with them. We put 14 long rifle 22sinto a coon one night. Was cheap ammo. He sucked up some lead then finally came down to whoop some arse before dieing. CCI Mini mags didnt require too many follow ups.

jrbsr...My wife bought it for me a few years back for Christmas. It came with 2 barrels...one 7" one 4". I put a scope on the longer barrel and put up a target. It was damn near hole in hole at 50'. That's not something that every pistol will do.
It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier to clean than the Browning or Ruger .22 pistols.

if it takes 14 shots to kill a coon you are not hitting him in any vitals. I have killed large mature hogs with a well placed .22 short. One shot only. So I figure you could kill a coon with any .22 lr that your gun shoots accurately.
