While I voted for the Ruger 10/22, the first 22 rifle I owned was a Marlin Golden 39A lever action. The ease with which this gun could be taken...
In the situation DMK described, they were F2F and point blank.
film495 - several years ago, I bought a GP-100 with a 4" barrel as I found the 6" to be a bit "nose heavy". Depending on your hand size, this may...
Don't forget - if the perp is hiding behind a car - LIE DOWN and look for their feet. That may keep them from running away as well as distract...
If you are close enough (like this situation) to shoot almost point blank at the head, go low and shoot upwards at about a 30-45 degree angle...
While I agree with the size reference, there may be a problem with aiming at the head. Think about a head target if the head gets turned, or...
If you are in the habit of perspiring doing this, you might want to consider a base layer of polypropylene underwear. It is soft and snugly...
The only mishap I had wasn't with a firearm and wasn't even a "ka-BOOM" but a "pffffffffftt" as it was with 4F black powder. I was "experimenting"...

That is why, when the option to become a "Life" member became available many years ago, I took the leap to get away from the "annual" status....
I am inclined to agree. If .22LR is first, I think 12 ga. would be second. There might be a tie or close shave with #3 as I believe the .38/.357...
What you say is true but George P was most likely talking of a stock gun, as I was too. IIRC, the Model 60 is usually available at a slightly...
