Title: New toys -- H&R Pardner .410 and Ruger Mk. III Competition
Post by: ADAMS on December 09, 2009, 03:07:00 PM: Sold an Umarex / Colt M4 OPS in .22lr that I bought for the wife (big mistake) and used the proceeds to get a little H&R .410 and a Ruger Mk. III Competition pistol. I haven't picked up the pistol yet but I have taken that little .410 out to hunt rabbits a couple of times and I can honestly say that that little shotgun that cost $109.89 at Bi-Mart may just be the coolest, most fun gun I own. I really love that gun.

Anyone else find immense joy from the least glamorous of guns?
