Sharpshooter.123 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Why a 410 pistol and not a .22 humane bolt gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedeerman Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) I've just had a slot for one put on my fac. They are section one, not section five. Mine is conditioned for killing vermin around buildings. Look at the bond arms snake slayer too. Edit to add that mine is restricted to being 2 shot.

aister Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Why a 410 pistol and not a .22 humane bolt gun? he has two humane bolt guns. the problem he is having is with big pigs and sometimes heavy bulls, the bolt sticks in the skull bone and if the beast drops sidewards instead of straight down it sometimes takes the gun out of his hand. if the beast is dead its ok (not ideal though), but if something were to go wrong and it was still alive then things can get tricky or dangerous and you are left with no gun. as we all know, when it comes to killing things nothing is 100% foolproof.

Sharpshooter.123 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 There is different colour/grain blanks to stop that happening mate. I done it for 3 years and I never had one that didn't die immediately and I must have shot 6000-7000 cows/bulls 10-15000 pigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have a load of 6" barrel 3" magnum O/U Bond Arms Derringers, the Taurus revolving .410 is prohibited and everyone with the original 50 pistols imported has had them confiscated, it is only legal to own a single or double barreled pistol on Section 1. £750 each You need a slot for .410 Shot Pistol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in Hunt service I used a standard 410 shotgun to put most things down, if I needed more I used a single shot 32 pistol. 410 pistols a more money and trouble than they are worth when a standard shotgun will do the job Edited June 14, 2012 by Actionpigeons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
