.22LR

[crofoot629]

Ceiner (in Cape Canaveral, FL) make excellent conversions for the Colt 1911's and clones there of.

FWIW, I have a Ceiner conversion for my Glock 22, it has always worked very well on my personal G22, but won’t run worth a darn on my issued G22. I also bought a Ceiner conversion from Brownells for an AR-15. It wouldn’t work at all for me.

I LOATHE Ceiner’s customer service, they flat out will not answer the phone. My understanding is if your conversion won’t run they insist you ship the entire gun/conversion to them, for them to tweak, no thanks. I will NEVER buy Ceiner again.

Kimber conversions? I really don’t know, but Kimber has at best a checkered customer service reputation.

My 1911 conversion is from Wilson Combat. I ordered mine at the same time as a 5” 1911 45 acp, and couldn’t be happier (1996). I have know idea who made it, hell maybe Ceiner? But I’ll tell you this, Wilson Combat is absolutely top notch for taking care of what they sell.

Give Wilson Combat a call.

I have always loved shooting my 22s. They have no kick, low noise and cost a ton less money to shoot. Just bought a Sig 22 not long ago, didn't really need another 22 semi, but decided one can never have too many. Just need another couple of cases of 22 ammo.

A couple of buddies and I shot the 22's this weekend. I broke out the JC Higgins Model 30 this weekend. First time it had been fired in over twenty years. I had to knock the cob webs off of it as it has been hiding in the deep dark recesses of the safe for a LONG time. I took it to the farm with a few of other 22's, a Tactical Solutions Ruger 22/45, Model 34 and a Cobray 22 LR conversion on top of an Oly AR. Fun was had by all with all, all day long and we didn't shoot more than a brick of ammo.

Wow, that many? Sure you've got enough? Want to share?

You're saying the bottom will fall out of the $13.47 Wal Mart is charging?

I'm thinking that won't happen.

I am shooting a Ruger Air Hawk pellet rifle. It is 1000 FPS and packs a good punch. It has a 4X32 scope and is very accurate. I can shoot it in the back yard as well.

I have been shooting 22's and 9mm the most. Ordered 9mm for 10.50 a box and 22's from Wally World for 15 bucks. Plus I reload 9mm when I have primers and power. So < 20 bucks I can go to the range and have a good time with my 617 and 686.

I know a man, recently died, who put rows of staples all over a blank sheet of paper and then with a .22 rifle in a rest and with a scope proceeded to shoot the staples. He was on a pistol team when he was in the national guard and this was how he maintained trigger squeeze.

 

[shooboy]

You guys will be needing one of these ! No, not an AK 47, it's an AK 22 !!! I'll be trying it out for the first time on Saturday. Unfortunately I can only buy the NY compliant 10 round mags

Should still be fun, Shoo

Two reasons I love .22's
1 The Pre 18

2 The Colt Official Police.

.22's? Naw.
Never cared for them.

 

[Gutpile Charlie]

I'll take anything I can get. I am having a hard time buying ammo now, so if I can get .22s, then that's what I will get.

I remember a wise old guy, that when talking about fishing would say..."they all count one!" Same way with ammo. I can just usually acquire a little more .22 than something else.

.22 ammo is about non-existent in these parts. WalMart sporting good clerks tell me that they get occasional shipments of Federal bulk pack, a dozen boxes or so, but that they come in at nite, are stocked in the early AM, and are cleaned out as fast as they're shelved. Prices elsewhere are well beyond what I'm (perhaps foolishly) willing to pay, around six cents a round. Are there any bargains to be had?

The only bargain I'm aware of are the WalMart prices of $13.47 for a 550 bulk pack. That figures out to about 2 1/2 cents per shot. The trick is to find a WalMart that has it. I hoarded all mine back at the election, so it wasn't impossible to find.

What happens is you end up getting dents in your door from the fat chick who can't get in and out of her car. You get tired of parking in the overflowing lot. You do that a dozen times and find maybe a few boxes for all your efforts. Then one day you hit the bonanza. You walk in dejectedly, skirt the aisles with ill tempered kids and women with curlers or pink slippers. You approach the ammo counter and low and behold, they've got a couple of cases!

So you do what the others here cry about. You buy a case or however many they'll allow you to buy. Hint: $13.47 x 10 is $134.70, pluse sales tax here is $142.88. And you ask, "how does Dick know this?"

 

[red14]

I always buy at least a brick if they are available. It's silly not to, they are loads of fun.

 

[Bullet Bob]

If you've seen how much political activity there is nationwide concerning a total ban on lead use outdoors, you'd buy .22's also.

Of course, you can say that if they ban it and you have a bunch, it doesn't do you any good.

Pay your money, make your choice.

I tried shooting .38's in the basement once...the neighbors complained. When I use the .22 gallery shorts, nobody complains.

 

[oldRoger]

I can and do shoot .22lr in my garage, diagonally it’s a bit over 32 feet, and my firing line is set at 28. Anytime I feel the urge, out to the garage I go. From the street it sounds like a nail gun.
It’s a beautiful thing to be able to shoot whenever I want.

At the end of the day, a .22 caliber round will stop a piece of paper at the end of a firing lane just as well as any other round.

Choosing Your First .22

 

[silvercorvette]

The outdoor channel did a factory tour of the CCI factory. The factory turns our 3 or 4 million rounds (I forget if they said 3 or 4) a day. This is just one company. I bet if you add in all the other companies that make .22s it has to be 10 or 20 million a day. It seems hard to believe there is a .22 shortage
