First range trip with the Pug Shadow

[BoBo522]

What a fun little gun!

OK - it's no Olympic target pistol. But after a few false starts figuring out the sight picture, shots were consistently in a two inch circle at five yards. Much louder than I thought it would be, but not offensively so. I didn't notice a huge difference between the 22LR (Federal Champion 36gr bulk) and the 22WMR (Federal 30gr V-Shok).

Very pleased with this purchase. Sorry no pics, I'm still probationary.

Everyone loves a success story.
Congratulations!

Great to hear, BoBo!  Another Pug fan for life!

Neat gun!

i like the looks of it. I also like that it comes with two cylinders!

Excellent Bo.
With a little practice these minis are surprisingly accurate. At least they surprise me, and make me smile.
There's a place 25 minutes from where we live, it's off of a dirt road in a side canyon, that I go to practice.  I bring my plastic ground target (a kinda rolly thing I found at Sportsman's Warehouse that shrugs off .22 hits), a box of ammo, and my ears.  Anyhow when I got there this week someone had left a dinner-size paper plate hung on a stick, and I shot at it from probably 40 feet away. No video, no proof, but I hit it the first try and it fell away from the stick.  One of those moments that makes me feel like a kid in an old mans body, I smiled, hooted out loud, and danced my feet a bit.
I agree, not target pistols but plenty accurate enough.
Be well, Steve in Boise

Welcome to the Forum!

The Pug is a favorite of many here!

A friend of mine (yes I have a couple, well...one) is a "Big Bore Revolver Guy" he has these giant Ruger Revolvers in all calibers that start with a .4__  and barrels 5" and up. 

He saw my Pug one day in a "Driving Holster" and went crazy! He loved it! I had an "extra" Pug I had acquired so for his Birthday I put it in a Driving Holster and gave it to him.

He carries it every day!

There was a coyote killing his chickens. Last week he heard the chickens "squawking" in the middle of the day.

He "Dispatched" the coyote with a headshot at 27 feet (we measured)

He had the Pug on him.    Like the smart @$$ I am, I asked... "why didn't you use one of your canon's Rugers?"  He replied... "They are locked up in the shop!" of course they are, it's 112 degrees here in Phoenix! 

Again, Welcome to the Forum. Post photos when you can!

That's an awesome story, Rick!  And while I'm kinda sad for the coyote, I'm happy for the chickens.      What a great example of how practical and purposeful are these little gems.  Love it!
