I thought it very smart the way he disposed of the gun as well. Seems it would be pretty difficult if not impossible to ever find it. And the background musical score added just the right touch.
As a matter of fact I have said before that the Young Vito scenes are among my favorite. I guess because they seem so authentic and I think capture the "feel" of that era. (Not that I was around then mind you!!!) 
TIS I have always thought the rooftop stalking scene was the best and most artistic in all the films. Listen to the music as Vito stalks him, then does him in, then finally returns to his family......
