The 3" 317's with adjustable sights,are rather Skookum. Doubly so when wearing CT grip. Hint.
Had this Squirrely bitch at under 5',but barked her away with a red laser dot on her head. We met in the jungle and she had Cubs(one of which is visible,next limb up).
'Course Ruger Self Shuckers are a mainstay.
Saw (21) Bears on Monday and a Grock 34 in a GFI Kenai,don't suck...which was in tow
A 317 is a tough bitch to beat for handy/dandy and I've more than a LOT of faith in a 22LR saving the day. Have seen it too many times,to discount it.
