Just doing some honey do's out in the yard with the 2240 resting on the rail and he decided to make a go of it and fly into snatch a bite.:( Didn't give it a second thought as I reached up and grabbed the pistola already loaded. Flipped on the Red Dot and centered it on em. Safety off and Predator away which caught him in the chest, about 20 yard's which was to close and late for him.:) Ed

Keep after them Ed, it's good for the soul.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif) Always nice to see your 2240 in action, but I could be a bit prejudice.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif)

Hey Ed how do you like that red dot on your 2240?  I'm thinking of getting the same one for mine but have never used those ones.  I've tried the 30mm bsa ones, but found them a bit too bulky.

Jay the Red Dot work's spot on for me, just place the red and SQUEEEEEEEZE trigger, not to heavy but watch your sight adjustment's, set em and don't touch em. She'll perform flawless everytime. Ed
