£65 socks.... I know harkila stuff is good, and expensive, but... £65 socks!! 😲

If like me, that combines with short short arms!! 😁

I’ve looked at the firms who offer the Mcnab as a package... take trousers with deep pockets!!

Hi all, I’m looking to take my eldest boy on his first outting beating and picking up in a few weeks time (if the weather is fair). I’m really hoping he likes it as he loves spending time outside and walking in the woods. Anyway long and short it I’m looking for some s/h shooting clothes for him (jacket trousers) on the cheap. Ages 5/6 should suit and last a season or two - he’s 4 but tall! Does anyone have anything that theirs has grown out of and want to move on? Please PM me T

Responded. Agreed with the principle of medical info, disagree with this process - it's too burdensome on applicants (time chasing, unfair costs) and the police (time chasing etc) - the proposed arrangement will not work effectively and still have inconsistencies. I've suggested the Act should have an amendment to make if a statutory duty for the applicants GP to reply to a standard police medical form, and to charge the applicant/patient no more than their reasonable cost, or a maximum of £50. At least there would be clarity and consistency for forces and FAC/SGC owners

Not conceal necessarily. Just small enough to be discrete and to fit in a cartridge pocket. However remember that a 2.5 inch .410 chambered revolver is a lot bulkier than the equivalent .38 special. It’s a lump of a pistol regardless. But that is just my preference. I’m amazed how a topic goes off at tangents especially as my main point was never really meant to relate to stalking needs. As I mentioned I’d never carry it for stalking although I could. I agree a dispatch pistol is pretty much pointless except in the 0.1% of situations. However as I say I’d never criticise those who do feel the need, much as I’d never critique shooting disciplines I see as unnecessary - surely we are doing ourselves a disservice by attacking fellow legitimate firearm users?!? A shot pistol is exceptionally useless expect for almost point blank dispatch. As a qualified pest controller (amongst other qualifications) I know it’s limits and use it only where it suits my needs - which admittedly is few and far between. I didn’t want an argument about its use, but to understand who else uses one and for what purpose. It was a simple question really. this is the tool in question....

Its not my intention to explain myself, my work, or hobbies to you. Needless to say I have the necessary good reason, and make a decision on the day on what tool most adequately serves the task in hand, be it rifle, shotgun, or pistol I may sound like a nutter, but you sir sound like an ********.

The OP is fairly clear as to the point... Just wondering how many people have, and use, shot pistols and the uses they were granted for? [waffle about my use and thought on cutting it down] Anyway interested to hear from other shot pistol users. Quite simple really. Not sure how I can make dumb it down further for you.

Yes... but I’ve carried it elsewhere!l for many miles, though different terrain, including on my stalking ground... I don’t need to actually carry it on a real stalk to form an opinion. I’m terribly sorry that I expressed an opinion that doesn’t agree with yours. I shall be sure to run any further thoughts past you first 😁 Anyway back to the question to shot pistol owners....

Do I consider that there are 410 shots that might otherwise be unsafe with a deer calibre centrefire - damn right I do (as always if done right). And I agree 99% of cases the rifle or knife will do. Hence I’ve never carried it for stalking and don’t plan to, but I wont criticise those who chose to carry one, much like I don’t criticise owners of guns I don’t see the need for (i.e 50 cal). And NO, I didn’t ask for experiences of general pistol users or thoughts on whether a dispatch pistol is warranted. I also didn’t ask for thought on whether losing three inches would make it more useful (It wouldn’t - it’d make it worse) but it would fit neatly in a jacket pocket which for me is handy. Anyway, back to the point... I asked who else has and uses a shot pistol and for what uses you were granted it?

A 6.5x55 round for example would go straight through. What if the ground were rocky, unsafe stop for a rifle round but ideal for a close dispatch with 410 pistol. What about additional meat damage? What about confined areas with a thrashing beast? What about at close range the scope is out/useless for a well placed shot? Anyway, back to the original post to shot pistol owners....

Same reason as any stalker with a dispatch pistol... in most cases the rifle will suffice for a follow up though + hopefully will never need a follow up shot.

Hi, Just wondering how many people have, and use, shot pistols and the uses they were granted for. i have a 410 Taurus Judge Revolver 6 inch barrel (2 shot restricted) for the dispatch of trapped fox, and potentially dispatch of deer although it’s too unwieldy to carrying on the hip whilst stalking. Considering reducing it to 3 inch barrel to slip into a cartridge pocket... although it’ll still be quite the lump. Anyway interested to hear from other shot pistol users.
