question about guns. need your help
Posted on 9/5/14 at 8:00 pm
Posted on 9/5/14 at 8:00 pm
I'm looking to buy a hand gun revolver or pistol mainly for bow season to carry rat shot for snakes. I was thinking about a .22 6 shot revolver, but I hear it's still a bit hard to find ammo. Any suggestions of another gun that's readily available and ammo is easy to find/inexpensive? Not looking for a huge gun, something smaller and under 350 bucks.

you can get a glock 9mm new for another 50 bucks

Is 9mm ammo easy to find and cheap?

For your stated purpose a .22 is perfect, allows you to use rat shot for snakes or round nose for plinking. It would not be the most appropriate to take a 9mm bow hunting to shoot snakes
.22 ammo is not near as hard to find as it used to be and should continue to become easier to acquire

Thought you could only carry .22 w rat shot during bow season?

Dude just get the heritage rough rider and .22 it up

WLF says you can only carry a .22 with rat shot during bow season.
Heritage Rough Rider .22LR/WMR - you can get from academy for under $200. .22WMR in rat shot is a snake killing machine.

That's what I'm probably going to get. Was just seeing if there were any other options, but it looks like I'm going to go with the heritage .22

I think it sucks that you can't carry anything bigger than a .22 with rat shot. That stuff doesn't go very far and isn't very powerful.
A .357 shot shell is much better.

I shoot my Heritage RR more than all my other guns combined. Dont know why, its just fun.

If I remember correctly, there's a loophole that you can carry larger caliber if you have a concealed carry permit.

Now I just need to decide - conceal an AK pistol or a .500 S&W
Should eliminate any snake problems...

Buy a lightly used Ruger Single Six .22 LR and you will probably also get the .22 Mag cylinder which opens up all sorts of options.

As others have recommended, check out the Heritage Rough Rider.
You can find 22LR ammo with ease online, and even when 22LR was at its most scarce, you could find rat shot.

Appreciate all the help, I think I'm going with the heritage .22 LR/Mag looks to be a solid revolver
