    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.

    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.
