What kind of idiot tries to clean a loaded gun? Or use a .44 on a mouse?

    You can buy bird-shot rounds for your .44. I’ll bet that they’re pretty effective on mice at normal mice-interaction distances.

    Are there really people who are good-enough shots that hunting for mice with a .22 or air gun is practical?

    What’s your backstop?

    I’m picturing drywall, but honestly, I can’t imagine a real situation where I would shoot at a mouse with anything. I wouldn’t go hunting mice and if I just wanted them dead, there are lots easier ways.

    In my mother’s basement, there is still a one-inch hole with a pretty three-inch pattern around it, in a tongue-in-groove pine partition, made by #7 1/2 birdshot at about ten feet.

    (That happened thirty years ago and I don’t live there anymore, BTW.)

    Maybe he was trying to determine if his 44 could be classified as a mouse gun, to justify purchase of a .460.

    Hmmmm

    I knew a guy who was trying to kill a squirrel in his kitchen wall with a .22 rifle.

    I had to point out to the guy he was shooting holes in his kitchen where there are lots of really important pipes and wires. Like natural gas pipes.

    Idiots.
