They also have a new video out which you may find interesting.



Now they have put up their "5 Walkout guns List" and I agree with some of what they say, but not all.

My walkout gun list is only firearms I currently own and are firearms that are affordable for almost everyone.

#1: A 6" .357 Magnum - It can take everything from squirrel upto a bear with proper shot placement and ammunition.  It also has manageable recoil and can be fired weakhand easily.

#2: A 12 Gauge Pump Action shotgun - Mine has a pistol grip and a folding stock.  With the various loads available for the 12 gauge you can cover almost any animal in North America

#3: A break down .22 Pump action rifle -  Mine will shoot everything from CB Shorts upto .22 LR HV rounds.  Loaded with shorts it holds 18 rounds, with LR it holds 14 and breaks down into a package just a little longer than 17 inches.  With a semi-auto .22 you are limited to ONLY LR rounds unless you want to cycle the action by hand after each shot and some magazines in semi autos will not feed the shorter rounds properly.  And some .22LR semi autos also will not function properly with lower velocity ammunition, limiting you to HV ammo only.  And while I wouldn't want to try it, there have been cases of poachers taking Black Bear with .22 LR.

#4: A SKS - With the standard 10 round non-removable magazine and stripper clips.  The 7.62X39 has approximately the same oomph as the .30-30 round which still takes hundreds if not thousands of deer a year over 100 years after it's introduction.  So a SKS and a bandolier of stripper clips and you should be good to go.

#5: a 1911A1 in .45 ACP -  I have used mine to put down several animals from a dog upto a 900 pound steer.  Once again, shot placement and ammunition are the biggest factors in it's use.

Now my list isn't the be all end all and neither is the Eric and Barry's.  They are just guidelines.  And Eric and Barry work in a Pawn Shop/Gun Store.  I don't.  I listed just firearms I currently own and use.

So the only person who can decide if your walk out gun is the right one is "You".
