Good enough for squirrels?
Did the formal sight-in with an old High Standard M106 pistol. Is fitted with a new 4.5" threaded barrel, Burris Fast Fire II and a properly transferred Bowers Paradigm can.

5 round group in the 1" bull w one just outside at 25 yards (others are before last string):



Good enough to hunt squirrels?

I thought it was OK for a suppressed pistol.

Would be even better if I can find a way to reduce the intensity of the red dot. It is blooming somewhat and that makes it a bit challenging to select a small impact point.

On their FastFire II just below the front center of the aperture is a light/photo sensor about the size of a pin hole that reads ambient light. I place a small bit of cello tape over it and it works for me ~ IIRC, I used 2 layers. Worth a try ~ easy to undo.

I think the squirrels are in big trouble!
