Thanks guys, looks like the 522 is next upon my to get list. Now to decide on what model.....

Welcome! I have had the Colt for just about 1.5 years - what kind of issues are you having?

Remember, the slide housing is a zinc alloy. I would not: "Just experiment until it needs to be "tapped" in there." - That would be a great way to crack the housing, IMO. TM

I was at the RK gun show in OKC today, and saw plastic .22 snap caps for sale at several booths. The ones I have at home are .22 short in size, and will not cycle through the action, but do act as a rim fire snap cap - no springs - the elasticity of the plastic acts as a cushion for the firing pin. They do not last forever, they can and do crack after awhile, which is no doubt why they come in packages of 5 or more. TM

I am in Oklahoma for a training class, and there was a great gun show at the state fairgrounds in OK City. Got a real nice single point sling from the guy that makes them for area law enforcement. $30. Will post pics when I return home. :thumb:

What do ya think? Like her? Or will Linda Carter always be the one & only WonderWoman?

Hi George - the only firearms I have direct knowledge of getting damaged from dry firing are the Jennings type handguns. Also, I have seen a few .22 revolvers where the firing pin impacted the edge of the cylinder and created burrs. That can make loading /unloading a chore, Brownells sells a tool to "iron" out the burrs. As MG stated, snap caps will insure no damage and are cheap insurance. I have a handfull of [plastic] .22 snaps, PM me your addy and I'll send ya a couple when I return home. TM

Very nice!!! You will REALLY enjoy it after a trigger job - I sent my trigger to Bill in Colorado Springs. It's 4.5 lbs pull now. And welcome to the forum.

Crossed and locked.

Very, Very nice! :thumb:

I think that was the medium size, Mother-in-laws rate a larger caliber.

Look out!!! There is a big shadow creature sneaking up on you!!!!!! ;D

I have not used it, and not saying it is good or bad. I just seem to lean towards jacketed or plated ammunition, as it is much easier to remove copper fouling than lead from a barrel. I bought a box of the Federal Premium last summer- it is also RNL, and it did not perform as well as the bulk pack, accuracy wise.

Now that you mention it, yes. Milk shake. :beer:

That would be nice in the front yard, slaved to a motion detector..... not to actually fire, just in tracking mode. Bet the cars would be safe!

Nice looking rifle!

Welcome! Nice looking rifle :thumb:

Bounce bounce. ::)

Thanks for the info!! TM

Howdy, So how do you all like the Sig? Is it actually made by Sig? How is it to field strip and clean? Reason for asking, saw a couple of them at the Oklahoma City gun show, and the seller wants to deal, offering a 10% veterans discount, which would be $495 out the door. After looking on the web, that doesn't seem so good. How is the accuracy? He stated he could hit targets at 350 yards with CCI ammo. This was the classic model. Thanks, TM

:bang: Bad - very bad....... :o

Howdy!

Excellent, where were ya fishing? :thumb:

Cool! Thanks to you both!

Thanks for the warning. You would think even crooks would be careful pissing off good folk with guns.C:-)
