I hope you didn't buy one of the Nickle plated ones ! Mine is turning to a funky yellow gold color !
Shoots great and very accurate though. Light enough to stick into a backpack. Tote it in your pack to your deer stand and squirrel hunt as you walk back to the truck in the afternoon. Mine shoots CB longs almost all the time. they are very accurate in it and smack a Squirrel or Rabbit plenty hard.
There is a box of Stingers in the pack too. Had a hard time not popping a roosting Turkey a few weeks ago with it. Big, Big Tom, I am talking trophy here! --- I didn't do it though I wanted to really bad  :-[ ..  It is hard being honest sometimes !

I have an early one. Is very accurate and isn't fussy about what brand of ammo it's fed. Fun little shooter. I may shoot it in our next hunter silhouette match.

Oh boy, these little guns are a barrel of fun.   I like to take it with me checking my fences on the ranch.   Once, had a couple of coyotes run my bluetick hound right between my legs.   They didn't even see me, and she was bawling a bugger bawl like I'd never heard.   When I realized what was going on, they were on me in a dead run.  I just threw up that little 62a and let lead fly.   They tried to turn away but were coming too fast, and I just kept pumping lead, bang, bang, bang,.   As they past right by me, the nearest one faltered, and I kept the heat on him.   My hound got courage then and lit out for the other one.   I tracked down the one I knew had been hit, and found him.   A large beautiful male.   Eight holes in him.   I tanned his hide, and my brother has it hanging on his Den wall.
Enjoy your rights to keep and bear arms.

I have one of these reliable little jewels and as pointed it out it shoots everything.
As a bonus the stock on this fun shooter is beautiful and the reason I bought it as with others.
