There was absolutely nothing wrong with the S&W kit gun, it’s VERY high quality. It was just not comfortable for me to shoot.
We also got the Henry Survival rifle, a GREAT gun that dis-assembles and stores easily in its own buttstock. Light, compact, great accuracy, just toss it in your backpack and go! Love it.
For all my blather about the kit gun, my for real backpack pistol is a Walther PPK in .22LR. Probably makes collectors wince but that little puppy is very compact, carries ten rounds per loading, and is match pistol accurate..
Your Henry survival rifle is identical to my cherished AR-7 survival rifle - designed by Eugenes Stoner, no less! I carry mine assembled, using a boot lace as a sling with some band-aids, a compass, spare ammo, and some fishing line/hooks in the butt.
Great piece of gear!
