The C96 is a charm to shoot. It is very accurate and the fast moving bullet would be great for small game. I have carried it several times, but have not taken anything with it. If I had had it when I lived in Alaska in the early 1970's, it would have taken the big snow shoe hares and the high "above tree line" marmotts. The marmotts were like a cross between badger and woodchuck. they lived in the rocks on the high mountains. We hunted them with handguns. I used a .30 carbine caliber Ruger blackhawk, or later with my Woodsman with head shots. They weighed a good 5 to 10 pounds. The meat was like dark meat turkey, and the liver was great. You really needed meat or wanted to hunt these fellow to make the effort. The clime was rough and there was no road or trail. It was a climb. Hand and foot, up and up. The view was breath taking. I have a photo somewhere. The whole matinuska valley and the Alaska range in the distance. Bear were there too in the summer. It kept you alert.
