Minimags work great in my 10/22, but for a cheaper alternative, try some federal 510's. They are currently $1.28 at Wal-Mart for 50 rounds and they shoot great out of my Ruger pistol.

I prefer the 870, only because I think it looks better and the slide feels more solid. All the 500's feel loose and make noise when you twist them. Having said that, I have killed more doves and squirrels with a 500 20 ga. I had when I was a teenager. I hunt turkeys with my 870 but have a 500 persuader under the bed for HD. Don't know if this helps or confuses even more.

You also MUST have a big game license ($28 I think) in addition to your small game/fish license. Turkeys are considered big game and are tagged out just like deer and bear. Your 3.5" shells will work fine, but good 3" shells work about the same with less recoil. Just make sure to pattern out to 40 or 50 yards to see how well your chokes work. I second the post about being still in the woods, they will bust you for the slightest movement. Good luck.

I second the ammo recommendations. Mine for some reason only shoots well with CCI minimags. Any other brand or type produces erratic groups, but the minimags shoot awesome. My Ruger 22 pistol is the same way except it likes Federal lead solids. 22's can be fickle when it comes to ammo. Good luck, you're going to love the 10/22!

I like mine. It's simple, functional, and goes bang every time I pull the trigger. I don't know what more you could want in a defensive pistol. I've shot the Sigmas, and yes they are a better value, but the Glocks definitely don't suck.
