encore64.... and Part 3. It would be great for the GP-100 .22LR 10-shot uphold the standard, and for the S&W Model 617 10-shot to continue the tradition. Perhaps Ruger and S&W have been looking over each other’s shoulder, as the GP-100 5.5-inch, and the M-617 6-inch each list @ $829. Let us hope performance matches price.
bionic.... re-reading your anecdote, Brittany at your side, brings a smile to my heart.

magnumwheelman.... a couple of photos of “.22 ratshot” (K-22 Part 3) illustrate the feeble effect of a tiny pinch of tiny shot. It would be cruelty to try .22 shot on a squirrel. From my own experiments, I wouldn’t even use .38 Special, .45 ACP, or .44 shot on a squirrel, and only on a rat at contact distance. For shooting rats from the seat of a tractor, I favor a SIG/Sauer P226 loaded with 9x19mm hollow point, a Ruger MK II loaded with .22LR Hi-Speed Hollow Point, or other .22 handgun of sound handling. My limited experience with .410 loads in the Taurus Judge shows real distance limitations, an impression possibly shared by others.

I don't have many mouse stories(mice stories?), in fact I only have two. Well, three, but one is about my pet white rat and I don't like that one.
It was 1968, we'd been married a little over a year and had a new baby. Wow, that brings back a lot of nostalgic feelings. Anyway we had a mouse in the bathroom so I set a mouse trap to catch the little bugger. Later that night the trap went off! YAY!! WE caught THE MOUSE!!! Then the trap was flapping about on the floor. After a short time, no more than 2 minutes, it was quite. We went in and I picked up the trap. WE looked at the trap, we looked at each other. "We need a bigger trap." Half my new little mouse trap was gone. Chewed off, eaten and swallowed.
The next night I set my new MOUSE TRAP. What a trap: 7" long, 4" wide and 1/2" thick. I set the trap, placed it in the bathroom and waited. WHACK! More flapping around. Silence. We opened the door, there was the trap, intact with a big, ugly rat over 12" long. counting the tail.
