\"Marbles<\/a>

The First Model looked more like the revolvers of the era.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve had a lifelong fascination with oddball guns. The Marble\u2019s Game Getter Gun, a storied gun with a long and troubled history, speaks to me. By today’s standards, the skeletal over-under is underpowered, and a bit slow. Yet the single-shot Game Getter Gun lives on in the survival-minded offerings of Springfield Armory, and Savage, and even Chiappa.<\/p>\n

Let me set the scene. I am on my way out to the range to do a review when I realize I’ve forgotten all of my targets. No problem. I pass an old gun store on the way. I stop, go in for targets, and come out with a Marble\u2019s Game Getter. It is going to be hard to explain to the wife, but it is worth it.<\/p>\n

\"Marbles<\/a>

The extractor lifts both shells at the same time, but doesn’t throw out the shells.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Game Getter is an odd bird. It is an over-under pistol with a folding stock. The original was chambered in a number of varieties, all of which were intended to pair a rimfire round with a larger shot shell. Both barrels operated on the single shot model. Pull the trigger guard back and the breech opens. An extractor pushes up the empties, which can then be pulled out by hand. The grips on the Game Getters, depending on which model you have, were hard rubber, wood or (in rare instances) plastic.<\/p>\n

\"Marbles<\/a>

This is where the stock would go on the Second Model.<\/p><\/div>\n

The stocks are interesting, and the first part of the gun to go. The first model had a tubular steel stock that folded down toward the muzzle. The stock could be placed in the down position for awkward pistol shooting, or snapped into place and used as a shoulder stock. The original folded, but didn\u2019t fold up.<\/p>\n

The second model had a stock that actually collapsed when it was folded, which allowed the gun to be tucked into a (long) holster. The original stock is long gone from this one. In its place was a homemade, hand-carved wooden stock, which worked quite well.<\/p>\n

This is one of the Second Model Game Getters. It has smooth wooden grips and only two sights. The first series had an additional tang sight that rose up behind the trigger on a narrow stem.<\/p>\n

\"Marbles<\/a>

The Second Model has a more modern look.<\/p><\/div>\n

The original, introduced in 1909, was chambered in .22 and .44. The whole gun weighed in at 2.25 pounds. Later models would have other options, like a rifled second barrel in .25-20 WCF, .32-20 WCF or .38-40 WCF.<\/p>\n

After World War I, the Second Model was introduced. This second iteration had stouter grips, and a slightly thicker chamber, and was cut for .22 and .410 (in either 2 or 2.5 inch).<\/p>\n

The Game Getters were actually serious guns. They came with holsters, excellent sights and a dovetailed wooden box for storage.<\/p>\n

\"Marbles<\/a>

The long barrel of the Game Getter is a bit absurd.<\/p><\/div>\n

The legal woes of the Game Getter<\/strong><\/p>\n

The originals were made with 12-, 15-, and 18-inch barrels. The National Firearms Act of 1934 made all of the game getters with smooth bores illegal. While the Feds were trying to curtail the use of short-barreled shotguns by criminals (at least that was the justification given to the public), they managed to kill the Game Getter and some other really useful pocket shotguns. In 1939, in what seems like a very rare circumstance, the ATF revised its ruling on the 18-inch Game Getter and removed it from the prohibited firearm list. The 12-inch and 15-inch are still too dangerous for common folk like us to handle.<\/p>\n

\"Marbles<\/a>

The group on the right was shot using the improvised stock. The right was shot without it.<\/p><\/div>\n

While the Game Getter does let you imitate classic Dirty Harry movies poses, it is hardly threatening (unless you’re a moose). And it would be very difficult to conceal this down your pants. Actually concealing is easy; it is drawing it that proves to be challenging. So the 18-inch barrel on the Game Getter was legalized, even though it doesn’t meet the overall length requirement for a shotgun.<\/p>\n

Accuracy from the Game Getter<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love this part. This gun here, the one we have pictured, shoots better than a lot of modern rimfire rifles I’ve shot. It may not be as fast, but it is a tack driver. Look at the group on the left. This was shot with the stock on, standing, at 50 feet. The group on the right was shot without the stock, freehand. After a few rounds on paper, we started popping the steel plates, all of which were at varying distances. The gun ran incredibly well.<\/p>\n

\"Marbles<\/a>

You can grip it like a pistol or hold the Game Getter farther out.<\/p><\/div>\n

We had a much harder time with the 2-inch .410 barrel, but it had nothing to do with the gun. In these parts, 2 in .410 shells are hard to come by. I looked everywhere. We resorted to drastic measures, and ones I can’t recommend for use at home. We cut down a 2.5-inch shell. We even emptied a touch of the powder, to be safe, and then replaced the wad and shot, then plugged it up with a bit of wax. It worked enough to prove that it could work. The gratification we got from the lame experiment was negligible. Yet there it is.<\/p>\n

Our meager results pale when compared with the results from both the Marble\u2019s factory and original users. The following quotes are from the Marble\u2019s webpage:<\/p>\n

From the Factory: Sixty No. 8 shot in a 12-inch target, 6 round balls in a 2-inch bullseye, and 10 .22 bullets in a 1\u00bd inch circle\u2014all at 50 feet with a 12-inch barrel and the same sight setting. Round ball penetration was 6 inches in a pine block.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was from a First Model Game Getter. No word on the calibers. Still, that\u2019s some fancy shooting.<\/p>\n

From Customers: Twenty four flying ducks out a 25 shots, deer at 50 to 100 yards (one 220-pound buck\u2019s neck broken at 130 yards), bear and moose killed at 50 yards, all from a 12-inch barrel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Marbles<\/a>

This is the view a moose would see.<\/p><\/div>\n

A moose. A moose. Now I have some experience with moose, as I used to work as guide in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I would not shoot a moose with a Game Getter. A moose can weigh 1,500 pounds. They’re like horses with massive antlers that know good-and-well that they can kick your ass. Those old codgers who were hunting with Game Getters must have had solid brass balls.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was a small bear and a sickly moose. Whatever. I\u2019ll still take something with a bit more punch for hunting big game. I’ll plink with this thing all day. During what continues to be the worst rimfire drought anyone’s ever seen since the invention of rimfire rounds, I like a nice slow .22. It gets good gas mileage. And when you’ve got a gun that allows you to call your shots like this, it is even better.<\/p>\n

The Savage Model 42 is as close as most of us will get these days. And it is a rocking little survival gun. This Game Getter will find a good home. It may live on my mantle for a while, until it does. It is a reminder of a completely different time, one that I’ll never know. If you want one, but aren\u2019t partial to expensive antiques (the Game Getters range anywhere from $500 to $2,500, depending on condition), Marble\u2019s may still be making a Third Model (similar in appearance to the First Model, but with an 18.5-inch barrel). MSRP: $1,995.
