chud, i just got my American Rifleman and saw the article on that gun. seems like a very decent price. was thinking of calling my buddies' shop and seeing about trading for one myself. probably, like most pistols it will like standard velocity ammo better. i've never had much luck with high velocity .22 ammo from a pistol like i have with some revolvers i used for hunting prarie pooches. let us know when you shoot it. lee
