There is no bad way to eat a squirrel, fan fried in butter and olive oil, stewed, in a cream sauce with mushrooms, all good. But for my money, marinated and gently grilled is tops every time.

Brent, that is the coolest looking pistol. I want one...Geo

Geo,
Glad you like it. They are as fun as the look and pretty good shooters too. Mine has a 10" barrel. They come in 6" and 8" as well, maybe others. They also come in .410, which seems ridiculous to me, but that is what I read somewhere.

It is a Stevens Model 35. They made a similar model (40 something?) that does not have the trigger guard.

About $300-$350 in good condition.

Brent,
I have one of the 410s, I inherited it from my aunt who got it from my grandfather( I have the papers). I think it is great, my aunt called it a snake gun, but I mostly shoot carpenter bees with it. I use 444 cases and worn out polishing media for shot. It works great with normal 2 1/2" shells also. If the police wouldn't have a fit, I would take on the squirrels in my pecan trees with it.

really!

I've looked and looked for one. I don't really want to buy one, but just to see it and figure out what they might go for. Havent found one yet. If I owned one, I'd shoot house sparrows with it. I took down 3 with my first shot using the .22 shotshells, but a .410 would be more interesting.

Is it pretty stout recoil with normal 2.5"?

Can you post some pictures?

How good, or bad, are the triggers on them, BrentD and Der Ami? Are they easily improved? I'm AR about my pistol triggers.

Once had an old 9 shot H & R tip-up. Trigger could be easily helped, but it wouldn't last. Sear was too soft. Traded it off.

I agree with Geo., that's a neat looking pistol.

Many years ago I had the opportunity to buy one of these with both the ..22 RF barrel & the .410 barrel. At the time to make the .410 legal required a transfer tax of $250.00 so I passed. It was not registered & I have always wished I had bought it & kept the .22 barrel mounted & stashed the .410 one away. Later on, I could have grandfathered it in for $5.00 & carried it hunting or wherever I liked, but who knew. I do not recall now if had the trigger guard but seem to recall it being the Spur Trigger version.

You will have to figure that one out for yourself, Stan.

Stan,
The 410 trigger is not bad and it isn't a target pistol. The recoil with 2 1/2" shells is healthy, but not painful. Because it has a longer than 12" barrel, mine is an "any other weapon" and the transfer tax was $5.00.

Thanks, Mike.
