Today I decided to install a small window/ shooting porthole up in the GTA loft/ shooting range. Well I had the hole cut and window installed , hinged to open and started framing it in when I noticed a bushy tail sticking out from behind a tree outside. I had been target practicing with the 1377 earler so I loaded a Predator, pumped her full and waited for a head to appear. I'm figuring about 15 to 20 yrds from my pistola hanging out the window to his position.....a head, leveled the sight's on his head and let loose the Predator. By the sound it was a solid hit and I hung my head out the window to watch him tumble through the limb's on his way to the ground stone dead. I grabbed my tape measure and measured from the side of my barn to him 13 and almost a half yrds hehe. The Predator had passed through the sweetspot, no damage control lol. I gess the new shooting window blind is working well and I wasn't even finished with it yet. Another meal in the icebox. Yes a stock 1377 can take squirrels with good shot placement and the right ammo for the job. };) Ed

Good shooting Ed.
I love my 1322 and have been able to take game with it out at 20 yards no problem.
Man...you really "cracked his nut!" :o
-
I guess that nutter was just a little too curious about your project. And now he won't even be able to warn his friends about it ;~D Nice shootin' there, Ed!
I gotta get me some of them Predators, and hope some squirrels invade my yard this fall.

Thanks Gents, the Predator did alot of damage . The side of his head that you see is the entry wound, the exit wound was worse. Ed

Good shoting and I like your wood work too! Looks factory only better!

Outstanding buddy. I've said it before and I'll say it again,,,, taking game with a pistol, especially with open sights, is definitely impressive. That squirrel should taste especially tasty :)
