Model 22 Combat Masterpiece. Empties were hard to eject and always shot to the left. A LGS owner wanted it really bad, so I sold it to him. I was honest about its issues. He was a gunsmith and said that he would fix it. The dang thing would shoot into about 1 inch at 25 yards with young eyes.

New batch of 1180 fps loads shot well. The front sight does seem a bit tall.

Rimfires can be tricky. I have a GP100-22 that had a choice between a very heavy trigger pull or misfires in DA mode. Deburring , a spring swap and adding a washer to the mainspring strut solved it. It was a bit of an ordeal.

No malfunctions. It did seem a little stiff. My 920 fps 44 Spl. handloads were very accurate. My 1180 fps. 44 mag handloads had mediocre accuracy. I used Power Pistol and some very old 240 gr. hard cast swc's. The lube on some of the bullets was a little uneven. I will relube or melt them...

I went ahead and bought one. I will see how it works.

I put a Wolff ribbed mainspring in my 1971 model 10. It works fine but now has a ringing sound wnen shooting.

Any thoughts or reviews from real handgun users on these revolvers?

bugging out Bugging out is really only a very short term proposition. It might work for a crisis like a hurricane , major fire, earthquake or terrorist attack. If you can get to a safer place or survive a disaster for a few days it can work. Thousands of urbanites running out to rural areas...

Zombies There are about the only politically correct opponent left in the world.

I love my 9C. The xgrip on a full size mag works great at the range or for less than concealed carry. I was looking at a shield but the slide seems about the same width so I stayed with the 9C. Now if more 9mm ammo was available.
