Red Label Question.... #18072 01/02/07 03:47 PM

It'll be for hunitng the swamps and thick woods here in NE Florida.....and I'll admit it'll be partly to fill a want more than a need.... But then as we get older we are allowed to indulge aren't we?

He's also a little less than excited about the use of the Red Label because of the single trigger. As it's not to be a dangerious game gun I'm not to concerned.
