As far as ammo goes, my Model 41 loves Federal 40 gr. lead.  Shot a lot of metallic silhouettes with that stuff.
Here's a road grouse.

It is not my duty to validate your delusions.

It's not technically a pistol, but I have whacked a grouse or two with my Smith and Wesson Model 17-5














And maybe a rabbit or two:

I absolutely believe that. My best using iron sights was about 50 yards, two hand hold, no rest.  Nicely done!  :tup:

We all have our own interests, and I'd be fibbing if I said I didn't like to pot a bunny now and then. And let's be honest, some of the people in this forum have a very good camera eye, and they take some terrific photos, though I'd like to see more smiling faces with guns and game than just game and guns.

I think photos with happy humans sends a message that hunting is an enjoyable enterprise, productive, people have fun, and they like to succeed!

Like so:

Just practicing for fall!

I need the time between now and then to work off that belly fat!  :chuckle:

My dad packed his .22 H&R 999 for small game until he gifted it to me when I was 16. I've been carrying it to do the same every since. I have a variety of .22 cal pistols but the nostalgia of his 999 and carrying on his legacy is more meaningful for me. Dad's long gone but the memories aren't. It's been so long now that I don't remember taking small game with anything other than his old revolver.
Thanks for the subject.

That was truly a great story about an often overlooked vintage revolver. My first handgun was an H&R 929, also a 9-shooter, also gifted to me by my dad. My compliments and congratulations, and sincere wishes for good hunting on the horizon.

And, you are welcome!  ;)

Dave Workman,
Thank you for the comments.
Your subject is one of those hunting traditions that will fade for me too quickly but hopefully, the kids and grands will have the same opportunities to carry the torch.

On a side note...
I'm very fond of my Mark IV as it's the most utilized firearm on my homestead. Also, that's a very fine contribution you made with your article in AHG.
