For years I used a TC Contender with an aimpoint red dot with 2x lens. If I could see an eye it's a head shot and a kill.

Buckmarks are good to. Mine shoots better than the ruger but no laser grips for the Browning.

I don't have any scopes or lazers on mine just the iron sights. I stay with one brand of shells and last year only once did I shoot more than twice at a coon. The more you shoot the better you will get..
Any pistol that fits you will work if you shoot it alot.

I have an old Hi-Standard 22 with a 9 in barrel. Looks and shoots like an old German lugar. I'm not good at all with it but everyone else is. I'm getting to where I need a shotgun... Can't see too good any more!

i used to use a h &r model 901 slabside revolver but my eyes got where they couldnt focus on the sights and the coon eyes at the same time,so this is what i use now in a shoulder holster

mark II with red/green dot scope set on green
crimsum trace grips
5 watt 500lemus light

line the green scope dot and red lazer dot up on the coon eyes and out it comes

That a heck of a good idea. I never seen anything like that before. I am definatly going to check into that for sure. Thanks for the tip. They have come along way from when I first started. We used to have an old sears and Roebuck 22 single shot rifle that u had to pull out the plunger for the firing pin to shoot. No safety. That gun killed everything from deer to snakes. I was a lot better shot back then. If I left the house with 3 shells (and that is all we had) I better come back with 3 squirrels. Nice gun you got!!!

i use a 22 high standard with a 9 inch barrel, i had it since i was a kid. it aint accurate, but it will shoot every time you pull the trigger lol. when i was a youngen, my old dog treed a coon in a pine i shot at that thang over 90 times and never touched a hair on it, i finally went to a neighbors house at 2 in the morning and asked him if i could barrow his shotgun, he said yeal so i went and shot the coon out. i brought his gun back and gave him the coon to boot.lol

Belgium Browning Challenger. Most accurate pistol I've shot to date.

I don't carry it for coon hunting but I have a Kel-Tec PMR-30, 22 Magnum that is something else. Carries 30 in the magazine, great trigger and lightweight. Just to much noise for me and my dogs when shooting coons out of trees. I do carry it when hunting out west when I am not sure what I am going to encounter.
Adios,
Gary
