Generally speaking handguns are not considered ideal for survival applications but sometimes the rules change.
The above target shot using a 25 yard pistol target with Ruger zeroed at 50 yards and target placed at 100 yards. If you look closely you will see POA in red above the bull which is where I aimed. 22LR zeroed at 50 yards drops about 6 1/2" at 100 yards. Ruger MkIII w/ NC Star 2-7X handgun scope.
I let a friend shoot this pistol and he immediately went out and got one in stainless, mounted the NC Star scope and he has now done in about 100 squirrels in his pecan trees.
