J Darcy 5,871 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Earth, if you get chance to watch a .410 pistol in dispatch you won't want any other type again. Personally i do not rate .22's. The .410 is a perfect tool for humane dispatch. The choice of weapon is easy, the hard part is getting your certificate....... Quote Link to post

I'de go completely the other way, .22 is the perfect despatch tool if your up close and personal, the .410 is far to noisy to fire next to a dogs head. The .22 short is as good as useless and doesn't carry the punch. The .410 is to loud and creats a load of smoke you can't see through for two or three minutes. Quote Link to post

waz77 15 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have a 10 shot semi auto .22 pistol but i rarely use it as its too tempremental,get a speck of dust in it and it missfires and when your digging you can be sure to get it covered in muck. I normally use .410, main issue is smoke but dont drop the dog back in till its cleared and there should be no problem. With regards to dispatching RTA's im pretty sure you can use any means neccessary to end suffering and the 12g is just reccomendation. I was told i could use .22 for dispatch when stalking.
