S & W Victory vs armadillo

We returned from our trip and this pest was in our side yard. The pistol is my new S & W Victory chambered for 22 LR. I had considered a Ruger Mark IV but decided on the Victory because it is all stainless steel and has fiber optic sights. Jack

I bought my Victory about a year after they were introduced. Mine had to go back to the factory for repair (can't remember what was wrong with it) but once back in my hands this thing has been solid. Not particularly finicky over ammunition and will run steadily even when dirty....to a point.

There's a pretty good aftermarket for the Victory as well for folks who like to customize. All in all I've no regrets owning one and would recommend the Victory to anyone who asks.
