Right on!!!!!!

Bought a great model 18 (4 screw too!) for $330 OTD on Saturday

I know this is a killer deal, but goes to show they are out there if you are lucky!

If you want an auto, you can find used ruger mk 3's cheap

I picked up a ruger MkI aand MkII cheap, and S&W K22 and a colt officers 22 and some H&R 22 revolvers. There is a price difference between them and a quality difference between some of them but there all good shooters.


Go to gun-deals.com - User-Submitted Gun & Ammunition Deals and click on ammo deals, then on 22cal. the best prices will come up. I was buying the 5,000rd cases so we don't have to reload the bigger bore stuff and still beable to shoot often.

Wife carries a Bersa 380 and has the same gun in 22. We also have several Ruger Single-sixes to practice her CAS shooting with.

As per my grandfather, a man who truly loved guns and was fascinated with guns (he had 19 up until WWII, his sister sold all but four, and of those four he kept three while trading one as part of a deal for a used 1950 Ford Fordor) the greatest .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol ever made was the Colt Woodsman. However, whilst he didn't own a .22 revolver, he was of the opinion that of the guns he'd fired, the best was a Smith & Wesson K-Frame .22. If you're going to ask me what kind of K-Frame .22, my uncle was trying to figure that out for years and eventually gave up. My grandfather had access to this gun for just one year, though: 1953. Its owner moved away after that. My grandfather got his first gun in I believe 1920 and his last in 1940.
