I haven't even shot the thing. (Jeff? )

Strangely, I could hunt White Tail with it back in MN but I never would. It would be legal as a pistol in my shotgun only area.
It may be legal as a "pistol", but would it be legal in .223 / 5.56 NATO? Some states allow deer hunting with .22 caliber centerfires, but most do not.

Even if legal, the dramatically decreased velocity from that short "pistol" barrel would do nothing to help a cartridge that is pretty marginal on deer as it is, even from a full size rifle.
