Only bad thing about it is the clean up afterwards.

old farmer friend next door had one. It just about knocked him over when he fired it.
Was like a cannon, he said. LOL. He gave it back to his son, and his son got him a
.17 scoped rifle. Better for groundhogs. Less mess inside your house.

Plinker? .22 or .177 definitely yes. I have an old Crossman 760. 177 pump rifle I haven't shot in a few decades, a pain to pump and pump to full power but it will kill a bunny, squirrel, ground hog, beer can. I also have a co2 pistol, easier but goes through cartridges if you use it a lot.
I've known farmers and ranchers who've used them and one outback friend in Australia, they work.
Plinker .410? Not really but fun with a .410 rifle to blow off a box. An alternative for a women's home defense weapon with multi shots, makes a big noise, low recoil, and bad guys will RUN! (just check out the. 410 ammo loads above)
So there you go........

Reminds me of stories my dad told me, when he was a kid farmers would pay bounties for killing crows in their fields up to about 25 cents each, he got to be a great shot with his singleshot Springfield. 22 rifle....paid for his ammo and other stuff.
He graduated from high school in 1939, in WWII it came in handy he was on a wooden minesweeper before the invasions in Africa and Italy, they'd cut the cables and shoot the mines with a 30-06 scope or no scope, he was pretty good. They also occasionally used the .50 caliber "MA duece" machine guns to shoot mines or against German fighters who'd be shooting at him, got a Bronze Star there.
So you knever know......

Yep-I already said my dad became a WW II small arms trainer because he was such a dead shot. The lesson we learned about "all guns are loaded and off safe" came from his own experience with his first shotgun. He was fooling around inside the house with his shotgun thinking it was unloaded when he spotted a tick on his arm. So he pulled the barrel around in front of the tick resting it on his arm and stretched his other out to reach the "safe" trigger for grins only to have it blow the tick off his arm and singe arm hairs. LOL! Lesson passed on to kids for free.

squirrel all the time.
groundhog is okay - has to be a young groundhog, but I'm not in survival mode.
I just have to stalk em - or they would be everywhere.

YES, lesson #1 treat every gun as if it were loaded and ready to fire, what ever you line up on is your target -and- NEVER, EVER pull the trigger unless you want it to FIRE!
Lesson #2 use a pest spray for ticks next time.

I learned the value of that myself when my older brother and I were out hunting rabbits together, he with our uncle's 16 gauge and me with my granddad's 20 gauge. We were walking together with me on the left and the shotgun down and to the left and my brother to the right with it down and a little right as we were taught. A rabbit jumped up in front of us and as I started to bring it up, it fired to the left away from us both. I had "thought" it was on safe when in fact it was not. My brother was spittin' mad at me and I knew I was in big time trouble when he would report it back to Dad. My Da'd response was perfect. He asked me how I was carrying and where was it pointed when I squeezed the trigger. When we both reported the same thing he just reinforced that "now you know what I mean don't you boy!" "Yes sir, I do." No punishment, just lesson well learned and applied so that nothing bad had happened.

you can buy a different barrel for each caliber. I'm not interested in a 9mm in this little thing, but a .22 or .22 magnum would be cool.

Cool little toy gun, for personal protection I'd get the .22 MAG if you're going to piss someone off.
Cool too if you are planning on playing cards in Deadwood, SD.

Where'd you find it for that price? Best I could find so far here is $643. It's the one with finger fitting wooden grips for L and R handers rather than the one $40 cheaper with flat wooden grips. Make it easier for my lefty grandson to hold while I'm teaching him how to shoot. Now my daughter doesn't want me to teach my other grandson, but I bet he persuades her otherwise after he sees how his cousin does. He's damn good with a BB gun already (rifle not pistol).
Since I'm saving up for it myself I don't mind the price. I'd otherwise waste it in a casino anyhow.??️?

Using that website I found the one I like and it's just $606 unless you pay cash. I'll look into it the closer I get to buying. Likely have to have it shipped thru a 3rd party with the proper license. Depending upon shipping cost and possible 3rd party it might come out about the same as the $643 I found here locally.
EDIT: Yep 3rd party is an FFL and the fee is $25. Add in the cost of shipping and I'm back to the price I have locally.
