The Critter-Getter Update

During our Independence Day shoot and BBQ I finally had a chance to put the Critter Getter through its paces. She worked flawlessly. I was very pleased with its accuracy; solid in the black for shots out to fifty yards, which for such a little rifle chambered in 9 mm was quite shocking.

Here she is along with the ruck-sack where I keep her while she waits in my truck. As you know she folds into a neat little 16 inch package; perfect for vehicle protection.





Please excuse the poor quality of this photo. It was taken in my office here at work. I also keep a few emergency items in the front pockets of the bag. I know, I'm weird, but if the zombies attack - God bless 'em.

    Can't argue with decent firepower in a small package. You know I'm a surplus gun man myself, but something like that would be nice to have.

    See, I told you that you would like it. Great guns for a good price, and they are made here in the USA.

    Did you have any problems adjusting the sight? The one my father-in-law has shoots great, but I ran out of adjustment on the sight for elevation. I just know where to hold it for closer shots, but it sure would be nice to have it on the money, you know? Anyone else have this problem?

    Arsenius, it's a sweet little package, with punch.

    Joe, yes, you're right, I do indeed like it.

    Hillbilly, I had no reason to touch the sights as she was spot on out to fifty yards. It has a two hundred yard limit, and at that range hits with the power of a .380acp at point blank range. It will suffice. I have the 2nd generation package with a more adjustable sight package. BTW, at 25 yards she has the stopping power of a .357 at PBR. Kel-Tec included a ballistics table in their instruction manual.

    The 40 S&W @ 50 yards has the force of a 41 Mag and I saw it last monday when it was twisting a hanging large chunk of steel almost 180 degrees. I have shot it at 100 yards and was able to hit a football sized ballon. I have nothing bad to say about the 40 version.
