| Thanks for letting me shoot your suppressed 22's! Now I have to get me one :) |
Haha... he ain't kidding either.... Funny to see a big guy like that just start giggling  BTW the pistol worked today so I guess I fixed it. No failures at all. Woohoo! |

Suppressed rimfire is da bomb. If I demo to a newbie, I try to start with the suppressed rimfire otherwise the surprise of the noise level, unlike the movies, may turn them off. I think it's the first thing they should get because they are so quiet and handy, then move on to the bigger stuff. The sound of only the hammer falling in an integrally suppressed rimfire rifle really blows people away. First time I heard one I though there was a misfire. Next best I heard was a suppressed AR in Whisper .300, just the sproing of spring (didn't cycle). That was scary deadly. Today I was at the range and had only my SOS45 can, a poor choice since .45 is so hard to suppress. I keep having to remind them that a 9mm can will be much more quiet. Did I mention women love the suppressed rimfire? No nasty noise or recoil, perfect (for those women not packing .44's) |

There is a guy out of the valley, IIRC Ritchie and his shop is Ritchie's guns and ammo. He is a CIII dealer. Used to come to all of the shows with a huge display of CIII weapons. Never bought anything from him. He doesn't have a shop with hours, it is by appointment only. If you are willing to drive north, there are atleast 3 that I know of, Chris Mannino, Bob Klauka, and Steve Coldbach. Sorry if I misspelled anyones name. Chris |

Richie S is either moving very soon or has already moved out of state. I bought a large amont of his ammo inventory about 5 months ago when he was planning to leave. Unless plans have changed, which is definately possible, he's gone. IMO having owned a number of them, SRT Arms (Doug Melton) is by far my favorite for integral supressed MKII's. He also has the most quiet 44 mag you have ever heard (or not heard). We've got 1 coming and will be around after the papers clear. |
