Which Rim Fire Firearm?

I figure almost everyone uses a rim fire firearm for coon hunting. What do you prefer to coon hunt with a rim fire rifle or a handgun? Why do you prefer your choice?

Rifle. If I want to put one lights out, which is what I always try to do, I don't have to wonder exactly where I'm going to hit it. Throw some sub-sonics in a rifle and it's way more quieter than any pistol.

I use a nylon 66 most of the time if i am hunting alone and if i am with other hunters i carry a scoped mark 2 pistol a lot, anytime i am out in the woods i have a pistol on me.

Those Remington Nylon rifles are light and accurate. I used a Remington Mohawk 10C (same as a Nylon model 77 with a magazine) for quite a while. Those Ruger MK .22 LR. pistols are sure enough good shooters too.
I like those Marlin model 60 and model 39 as well. The wood seems to get heavy the longer I carry them though. Been seeing some hunters using Mossberg Plinksters and Papoos .22 rifles. They are light as a Remington Nylon rifle.

I had two nylon 77 last year and let a buddy have them, i don't like how the clips hang out and they don't hold enough shells but they are good guns, i bought my mark 2 back in 1984 new it is a Government Target Model and i have took just about every critter that walks, crawls, flies, swims, with it, I like those Plinksters they are light and shoot good and priced right the only thing i don't like is the clip hangs out of them real bad and i have never seen one with a tube.

Yep me too. But it's just for backup in case I surprise a momma bear or stumble across a wacky weed harvest. ha.

I carry a ruger american 22 it takes the 10/22 mag and it's a bolt action very accurate rifle I also use a ruger single 6 22 and have no problem shooting coons out with it. Pistols are much easier to carry hands free if you plan on using a pistol practice a lot don't expect to just be able to do it
