Don, you're a very bad influence. I've been eyeballing those little 1911 22's for some time now.....don't "need" one, but hey, it's another one of those little guns that has a special allure, at least to me.

It's probably a good thing we don't live close to one another....our wives would most likely NOT approve. Congrats on the neat little pistol. You've got enough new stuff now to keep a guy occupied for at least a week!

It'd be nicer if it had adjustable sights, long trigger, beavertail and combat hammer.
The trigger on mine needs some work, too.just over 6 lbs.. I sure like the double diamond wood grips, over the checkered plastic ones.


Took it for a walk this morning and killed the chit outta cow patties and fahrwood.....









Dang, it's a fun one.....And shoots great.

Jim, I just got it today, only run the 3 mags of fed bulk thru it so far. Operation was flawless.... It is a lot smaller than the SIG, but still has the last shot hold open. Sights are kinda tiny for my aging eyes and the trigger is 6 1/2 lbs. I'll give it a good workout tomorrow. Don

He reported it shot pretty good although it functions better w/high velocity ammo. Speaking of which, the shelves have been pretty bare of 22-LR the past few weeks. Some of my target ammo shot good but functioning was iffy.

Great guano Batman!!....that's insane!

Same revolver alright, sure not the same price I paid for mine long ago. Maybe if I wait a couple more years, I can sell it and go on a south Pacific dive trip or hunt sheep in BC again. I've always wanted to dive the Jap wrecks in Truk Lagoon.

Prices have indeed gone nuts. I now see AR's and AK's in the local paper going for double what they did three months ago. It now appears that handguns, at least some of the collectable ones are headed up the inflation flagstaff too.

You jumped right on that one, right Don?

[huntsman22]

Jumped ?, right........
Nah, I passed....

One sold on there a couple days before, for $710. Never even bid on that one, either. Too rich for my blood. I did miss out on one this summer for $450.....

Your guns must be cheap and easy to get you yanks seem to have a lot of fire power can you buy a gun in the local super market

[futuretrades]

can you buy a gun in the local super market

Short answer is; YES, if they have them in stock, or can order one. All they need is someone with an FFL. I used to own an auto parts store. I had an FFL at the time and I did sell firearms, and some ammo thru my store. Right now, my gun, and reloading components supplier sells out of his garage. Don't know how long this will last tho, as we both live in the Republic of Kalifornia
