Instantly hooked on using this revolver to shoot squirrels with. Shot was about 25 yards, squirrel didn't move an inch. I initially grabbed my Marlin .17 HMR bolt action but decided it was so close that it was a good opportunity to try to shoot a squirrel with my Taurus. It left a much smaller exit wound than the rifle usually does.

I have an urge to wander through the woods and shoot some more of them.

I might try to take a rabbit with it if I catch one in the garden.
