I'll have to agree, my P22 always shot very well and gave little reason for complaint, but, I've decided zinc firearms are just not for me. No logic involved in this decision, just personal preference.
I only have experience with one compact 9mm 1911, a Springfield Armory EMP, and it's a good one, albeit a little pricey. Mines definitely a keeper. My only complaint is the ambidextrous safety which can easily be snicked off if you rub against something. But I hear SA will change it out for free and I may take them up on this.
The Federal Lightning seems to shoot pretty good, much better than the Remington bulk in my experience. I've seen that freaky looking white stuff on Christmas cards before but I thought it was just an artist's concept of a make believe place. And we have frozen water down here too, we drop it in our bourbon. Comes from the Frigidaire. ;D
I just read that the Ct. Dept of Public Safety has been successful in passing mandatory firearms registration with failure to do so resulting in felony charges. Say it ain't so. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2011/TOB/H/2011HB-05800-R00-HB.htm
For awhile there I was addicted to the .22lr dueling tree. Unlimited ammo and side by side competition make this a very fun game. But all the dueling trees I've used were purchased, but they look simple enough for a skilled welder to make.
The Kel-Tec is cool with the dual selectable tubular magazines that allow you to load one with buck the other with slugs that allows you to switch back and forth at will. Nothing could hide from that thing.
The Beretta 87 is aluminum barrel shroud double action 10-shot The Beretta 89 is steel barrel shroud single action 8-shot Both are nearly identical is size but the 89 is heavier due to it's steel barrel shroud. And not wishing to pass up an opportunity to show off one of my firearms, here's my 89. Corrections made.
I'm getting ready to order me a .22 short version because they're just so damned tiny and cool. Much, much smaller than the .22WMR version. Maybe half the size.
Wasn't our horse. If you own large livestock in Hernando County you must register with the Sheriff's Office in case of an escape. When an escapee is reported all registered owners in the area are called. This was someone else's horse. Thank goodness.
