Default My panic burying. Little different

So most people are buying Ars and 9's and stuff like that; do not get me wrong I understand, but I thought I have a bit of 22's so why not get a 617 and 43c. Boy I am pleasantly surprised the 617 has a great trigger and and is very accurate. Just plan fun. The 43c has the typical trigger but is accurate ( my wife claimed the 43c and now she says I really like the 17) 20210207_092540.jpg I guess I do not have a picture of the 43c. I will post it later.

Sounds like a win - win to me! You now have 2 nice guns that you both like!

Just curious - Where is the best place to bury them?

Looks like a 617 instead of 17. Regardless, it is hard to beat a quality .22 revolver. Fine looking gun.

Last summer at the height of the unrest I traded a Glock 48 for a 617 with the 4 inch barrel. As you now know the 617s are great guns and a lot of fun.

Mine shot well out of the box but I did put in a lighter rebound spring to reduce the trigger pull and bought a speedloader and couple of loading blocks.

Confuscious say: Before setting out on a course of revenge, dig two graves.

Lihpster say: Dig 7 or 8. That way if the body count rises, you don't have to keep screwing with a shovel.

Congratulations on finding the 22s. Didn't mossberg have a shotgun recently that came in a tube that could be buried.

I focused my last purchase on a new .22 as well. It's the one caliber I have a significant amount of ammo for, so I have relegated myself to shooting .22's mostly. The 617 and 43C are excellent revolvers and will be a lot of fun for sure. Sadly I don't have either but I've waiting for my father in law to remove his eyes from his 617 so me and his grandkids can claim it!!

If the current Dem Congress gets its way we're all going to burying them; in the meantime lets continue buying them.
