well I know the little things are expensive, but I think I got a fair deal on a 22hornet one today. Found some PRVI ammo in stock and ordered 200 rds. Now I gotta get some dies and load up some of the 45gr barnes. Wanted one since I was a kid. Buddy of mine bought one last year in a 22 but I kinda had a hankerin for the hornet.

I had one for a few years.I bought mine when they cost under $200 new. The price started going up and up and when it got to twice what I paid for it,I sold it. I just never was overly impressed with it.
I now have a Chiappa "Little Badger" in .22 wmr that is a much more useful and fun gun.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

I had one for a while, and while I liked it and it seemed a perfect "survival" arm, I didn't use it. So I sold it to my buddy, he uses it for killing critters like wolves caught in padded foot hold in traps on his trapline. It is also useful for potting the odd forest grouse when in need of an unplanned meal in the bush. About the best use for one that I could imagine.

I do a lot of hiking and backpacking and bought one for taking with me. I have had mine for several years it is a early American made version without the trigger guard. I replaced the hinge pin with a ball indented push pin to make taking apart simple and making storage in my backpack simple. It is a 22LR/410 model. Accuracy for the 22LR is for good enough for tree top squirrels and the surprise is the 410 barrel with slugs, it prints a 3" group at 50 yards using Brenneke brand slugs.
When not being used backpacking it rides in a small padded case behind the back seat of my truck.

Not in the Springfield M6. The 410 barrel is full choke and around .390/.395 diameter and a 45 Colt bullet is .452 diameter, so that would be way to much constriction and cause a blockage which in turn will cause damage to the barrel/gun and possibly the shooter.
