I bought myself a Ruger SR22 today for dispatching. I was using my rifle but i think a handgun will be more practical and easier to carry. Whats your thoughts on the Ruger SR22?

I have had mine for several years. I love it, a wonderful pistol. I still use my Rough Rider for dispatch. One thing about the SR22 I found is it eats every type of normal velocity .22 LR I have ever loaded into it.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

I use a ruger mark II, has dispatched ever critter I ever caught, you'll be much happier carrying a pistol always out of the way until you need it. This was a family gun before it was mine years ago.

Fine little pistol but I prefer a revolver so I can use shorts. A SS bearcat with adjustable sights would be my dream pistol for the trapline. 2xbox in a ss bear cat with adjustable sights. I would add $150 extra it they were adjustable night sights.

I have one.. I have used it on coons with less them stellar performance..
Just my point .02 One thing I notice is everyone thinks it's easy to hit exactly where you want at 5-6 feet away and even closer distances. Practice. Get a pop can put it at the distance and shoot for a small single letter on the can. When you can do that with every shot you'll know how your gun shoots, how much front site to use, where in the notch to put it, or adjust the sites to your liking. Proper shot placement is to draw an imaginary X between the ears and the eyes and aim for the center of that X. Don't shoot when they have their nose pointed at you but shoot to hit flat when they point it down. You'll have no more troubles then.
