| Greetings! I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would throw one out and get your opinions on what I saw today. I went to about 5 gun shops in Tulsa today looking for a good plinking 22 pistol ( not sure what I really want). The stores were packed! I mean you couldn't get close to the cases. Its Tuesday mid day and it was like no one was at work. Oh yeah people were buying too. I' ve been around the gun scene a long time and have never seen anything like it. |

I was gun shopping in OKC yesterday...really wasn't that busy...Outdoor America was was near deserted...H&H was busy..but not swamped...I never go to Bass pro...and Big Boys is closed on Mondays(they didn't have what I wanted..had called the week before).
Must be a Tulsa thing.. I like my Browning Buckmark..The auto Rugers are good too...but I shoot my Single-Six's as much as any other .22 handguns..I even got one of the cool little Ruger Bearcat revolvers..it's a good little peashooter. What I really need in a .22 I don't own is a quality .22 caliber double action revolver. |

If you would like to shoot a beretta NEOS DLX you are welcome to shoot mine. Out of all I have owned this little guy is hands down my favorite and factory mags are only $15-20 range.
If you get a neos though pony up the extra couple bux and order the DLX model. ETA Cheap mags ETA x2 I have a Ruger 10/22 charger pistol I want to get rid of if your in the market for one of those. It has the gray and black wood grip/body. Its a blued receiver and bull barrel. |

I've got a Colt Match Target 22, a Ruger Single Six convertible 22/22 mag, S&W 34 4", a S&W Match Target 22 (1956), and three Beretta 21s in 22 LR.
I strongly suggest one of those little Berettas because of size, accuracy, reliability, and concealibility. They can be touchy about ammo though. My oldest one is over 20 years old and has had literally tens of thousands of rounds shot through it. (Loaner for SDA classes back in the 90s.) Max and me shot that old S&W Match Target (6" barrel) and it didn't miss 8" plates at 25 yards a month or so ago. We were dropping plates with it right and left. Now a couple of guys here have the Ruger 22s with integral suppressors and one with a YHM suppressor. The one with the screw one YHM has a laser grip sight on it and it is a hoot to shoot. Accurate as hell and really quiet. 
I'm very impressed with that Ruger and the YHM suppressor. It functioned with some subsonic Eley ammo I had. None of my 22 semi autos would. |

I'm partial to a ruger 22/45 5" target barreled model, I've heard of people shooting clay pigeons at a 91 yards with them   on that. Eighty-Seven!!...87 yards is maximum effective range of that pistol and you know it.
well man, you know it could have been 87 yards, and it couldn't been 91, the clay pigeon couldn't really say since it was a bit broken up by the whole incident.
