anyone ever try using the garden weasel to pick up spent ammo casings, say .40 cal ?

I have not, but I do not think it will work. There is however a smaller version if I remember correctly. I think this is it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0042U6GE8/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

Don't know how big are those casings, but if they are 3/4 inch or thicker, the weasel may well do the job.

i have never tried , but I assume it would . I have had trouble with the airsoft ammo not firing so I would think a heavier load would helpI will try tonight with bb's

I have not but it should work fine for you. I am a retired Police Detective and have used Fobus products exclusively. Our Dept. Issued Glock 40 cals. No problem with the mag holders at all.

I would not think so. I trap and need to put down small ground squirrels and I use a .22, CO2 pistol point blank, and I usually have to put in several rounds to quickly dispatch them. I have put about 400 rounds through this model over the past 2 months and I am finally use to it. I started using the lighter, more expensive rounds, but really, the common pellets seem to do OK for my indoor, 45 foot cardboard targets once you learn to adjust for the drop. I have four other types of pellet pistols, but this one I like for the easy loading and cocking. It is plastic, large, so-so quality, but OK for just plinking at the price. I would not think so.

I've only used non-lead pellets but have zeroed in after about 25 shots following the instructions about holding the rifle just resting on the palm of my hand, as opposed to a bench rest.

No, you can only cock/compress once then load the pellet. Pellet only installs on way. Years ago Crossman made a 22 cal pellet rifle that you could actually pump. What a rifle.

Had to place the boresighter in the chamber with my fingers, I was worried it would not eject but it did. The batteries did run out while i was sighting in my scope.I Figured this was cheaper then using my shells.

I frankly don't know. i haven't had experience with those. I can tell you that i am using mine for 38 caliber Plus P ammo and still have space left over. I hope this helps.

I can't recommend it in that application. The projectile energy is too low and racoons are tough enough to shrug off these pellets. Something that would work better is pepper spray, invented first as a bear repellant--but that has its own problems such as the wind blowing in the wrong direction. Noise (air horns and whistles--and possibly blank cartridges), light and pepper sprays backed up by regular firearms work. Don't keep food in your tent or your packs when sleeping--suspend it from trees....that's the usual advice from people who have a lot of wilderness experience. Take care of trash. Wild animals are either trying to get food or are protecting territory, young or food--a pellet pistol such as this Taurus PT-111 won't impress a racoon.

I have used this loader many times to load the magazines for my Ruger MKIII. I had to follow the instructions to adjust the screw on the loader, but only a small amount. You also need to pay close attention to the level line embossed into the loader when you push the magazine into the loader. The first couple of times I used the loader I was shocked at how well, and fast, it functioned. If you blink you miss the rounds going into the Ruger magazine. NOW THE BAD! I have used the loader with Remington (the cheap stuff) and some old Winchester wildcat, and it worked perfectly. A couple of weeks ago I found a brick of Federal ammo in the back of my safe. The Federal stuff will not function in this loader to save its life. It appears to me that the federal ammo is slightly too long to drop through the loader. I have not measured the Federal compared to the other brands, but it does not work. I hope that helps.

I bought my 10/22in 1969.Since then I have shot over 25,000 rounds thru it.The only time it has jamed was when I loaded a bent roumd.Used to carry my ammo in my pocket and one got bent.I have a Weaver K4 scope and an Uncle Mikes sling.Put in the recoil buffer and first shot noticedthe improvement.Good hunting.

sorry JOE, can't help you on AK style weapon. I have only tried shell catcher on ar- 15s only, I would think the moving bolt lever on AK will tear bag off of rifle!

Thanks for the answer. I will be picking up a couple of them. I bought a Remington one at Dicks and when I pulled it out of the wall a door opened and half the pellets went all over the floor. I will have to try this. Thanks again.

Paul,,, I have never received anything but positive results from amazon in ten years! However, I did have to return one item in all that time and they are fantasic in this area so maybe you would want to return the gun and pick up the case/gun from another source. I do like keeping my gun in the case away from dusk and added protection. (just a thought) ! good luck

No, you can see the pellet going through the air. Maybe 300 fps. Just for punching paper. If you can catch the skunk you could beat it's brains out with it. The front sight is really sharp. LATER, Tim, Savannah, Ga.I've got two of these air pistols now, one .22 the other .177. With a chrony, .177 ten shot average 316.09 fps., .22 average 240.1 fps.At 20 meters from a bench rest the .177 hit about 4" high, 3 out of 5 shot grouped about the size of a cat food can. The .22 hit 2" low/3" left, 4 out of 5 shot grouped a 1/2" bigger than a cat food can. Not bad for a $25-$35 pellet pistol. No, you can see the pellet going through the air. Maybe 300 fps.

I believe it well. The loader works well for double stack 9mm through 45 cal. Single stack will have a little more play in the loader. What a thumb saver!

Muzzle energy is about the same. I accidently killed a squirrel with 5 pumps on the 22.
