    indiucky like all good thinks they lead to better things.. I never heard of the Cooey Firearms .. Hell of a story...

    https://calibremag.ca/cooey-canadas-gunmaker/

    List of cooey firearms made... God love the Cooey Canuck line what a name

    Cooey Rifles: Purchase In Canada, 22 LR, shotguns and more

    Also I think we can all agree that Bella Twins Cooey had been modified from the factory versions. You can clearly see the extra electrical tape that has been added to her rifle thus making into a true killing machine...

    An original factory cooey ace..

    Well I guess the 25 auto I just acquired will be my side arm when I go hunt up north again

    You mean that trip you invited me to go on with you ?
    Well.... as it turns out, I have an unfortunate scheduling conflict.
    Wont be able to go.

    Thus dispelling the rumor that a .25 can't give a good clean vasectomy...

    A father talking to his son after finding his stashed away .25, "You know, if you were to shoot someone with this, and they found out about it, they will likely whoop your butt..."

    I have a CZ Duo .25 that might make for a decent pocket BUG. It's a 1948 model that is somewhat of a Colt clone. It's surprisingly accurate for the size, and will make holes in things. I'd say shot placement is everything with it, though. I've shot through 4 or 5 sheets of stacked particle-board with it from a few feet away just to see how many it would go through, but I wouldn't want to be that close to a bear...
