Stick & A string? man, braver than i...
Not wimpy in a handgun, but considered kinda wimpy in a rifle for deer.
It is about equal to the .40 s&w round in bullet weight & velocity.
Since it is an original 73, that was my great grandfathers, i use black powder and a 180 gr bullet, and get in the 900 fps range.
Don't shoot it much, just every now & then.
not too bad condition, buttstock has been replaced, and mag tube shortened my dad fell while using it, broke stock, and bent mag tube, in about 1938 or 39, used mahogany for the wood to replace buttstock.
it currently resides in my brothers safe, while i have been in transition moving
