My wife (sounds familiar) picked one out because it fit and looked FUN.

Well fun is the operative word...the gun is a hoot to shoot. Many people enjoy this little pistol. It is a 75% scale of a P99.

I took it down and was not very impessed. And most important to me: the accuracy is not there. The accuracy is what displeased me, it used any ammo and cycled very well. When compared to other 22 pistols I have (any other) the accuracy was less....did I mention my disappointment with the accuracy?

All that said, it is a good beginner gun, a good trainer. Not too many people can out shoot a gun anyway.

My preference would be the longer barrel modle.

Have fun, stay safe, stop hoarding ammo...give the rest of us a chance to hoard some.
