S&W 22A??

[woodsideseen]

I got my 22A as a Christmas present from my wife, but I had picked it out for myself. This is my first firearm. It shoots very accurate and has had no problems with CCI Blazer ammo. It is fun to shoot. I like the feel of it. It was also a good value. It was around $230, and I later bought an extra magazine for it. I have 2 concerns about it, one of which I posed as a question in a new thread before I found this thread (my apologies in advance for some duplication). The first concern is there is no good way to decock without dry firing or putting a spent casing into the chamber. And S&W discourages dry firing because it will damage the firing pin. One suggestion I received in the other thread was just leave the gun cocked all the time when done shooting. Does anyone else do this? Does this wear out the spring? The second concern is I almost wish now that I had got a gun with double action that I could cock by a heavier trigger pull as an option. Overall, I have found it reliable so far, accurate and worth the money.

I bought one today and put a truglo red/green dot on it. this is a great pistol and more accurate than I can hold it. Put about 200 rounds of Federal bulk some remington thunder bolt and remington subsonic, no problems with any of them.

Does anyone know if I can get a S&W 22A with a threaded barrel?

I been looking around for a 22 auto for a few months I was fixed on the Walther but I got to shoot one last week and wasn't impressed. A friend of mine mentioned he was waiting for a 22A. I haven't shot one yet but I did check one out at the sporting goods store and I'm fixed on the 22A now. If anybody has one or has comments, advantages, disadvantages?? I will try one out in a few days but a second opinion is always great. I'm also open to any other suggestions on 22 auto's

Make sure you don't get one with the camo grips. I sold one and it is going back to S&W, clip fits in the grip so far it takes alot of pushing to get it in far enough for the gun to fire. Reg ones I have sold are ok
