I got a Skeeter today

Yah .22's are still the most economical caliber to shot and they are just alot of fun also. Is this the one you bought?

I bought one for my wife to practice with. I have actually used it more though since it is pennies to shoot and far cheaper than the "big" guns.

 

Is it a series 1 or series 2?

 

I have been thinking about buying this BERETTA U22 NEOS 6.0 INOX .22 LR

May I ask how much it cost? I remember at the beginning of last year you could buy a 500 round box of Remington's for about $6 w/tax at Academy and now that box is $15!!

 

How many round's per box of the CCI? Oh one more quick question, do you have your CHL or are you getting one? I'm patiently waiting for mine in the mail.

 

Yes it is legal in Texas to carry a loaded firearm [handgun] in your car as long as it is concealed.

What about the walk from your car into the grocery store/mall and then back to your car, that is the most likely place something could happen. Just food for thought.

Anyway back to your topic, so how accurate is the gun?

 

Your Sig Sauer Mosquito looks like a great .22 pistol.
I own a Sig Sauer 9mm P239 which looks like a similar design and size.
The P239 is a great shooting, easy to conceal, 9mm.

I own a much older .22 pistol made by Colt called the "Huntsman".
Both the Huntsman and Woodsman are sought after classics.
Mine looks like the one in this pic.

I've been thinking about picking up a .22 pistol. At one time my dad had a S&W Model 41. I would really like to get one of those with both barrels.

 

This is what I have my eye on:
Walther SP22-M3

cool!! please be sure to post some detailed shooting impressions. i have been wanting to get one of these to go along with my ruger and walther .22's ( suppressed ) the sig is supposed to be a great shooter, and very quiet with a good can on it. the threaded barrel from the factory is a great plus too.

CCI subsonic has worked flawlessly in all of my semi auto suppressed .22's.

my dad had a Woodsman that he traded to one of my moms relatives before i was old enough to "claim" it and i was never able to track down that pistol....sure would have liked to get it back.....i have inherited a couple of nice guns from my dad and will always have them for memories..


i have a ruger mark II like careapers except mine has the 4" bull barrel....great for when you just want to plink and not break out the big guns.....

While I agree with the idea of having a 'toy' that shoots cheap ammo to go out and have fun with, I'm very against the idea of 'training' with a .22 pistol to prepare yourself for daily carry with another caliber. When your life depends on it, you want to have plenty of practice with the weapon that may save your life. I carry a Glock 36 in .45ACP daily (with permit of course) and put as many rounds through it as it takes to feel comfortable shooting offhand, blind and under pressure.

That said, I will be buying a .22 conversion kit shortly for my AR15 (Bushmaster Carbon 15 Type 97S Pistol) to go out and have cheap fun with, but then, I don't expect my life to depend on my AR.

PS- I must admit it kinda cracks me up to see concern over the cost of a bullet on a Ferrari forum.

 

For gun safety and weapons handling a .22 is a great tool, otherwise I'm with Tad.

 

aside from the SIG .22, the Ruger charger has been a good cheap tool to learn and teach others with. i took mine out if its box and took it all apart.

my gunsmith buddy and i stripped it down to bare metal, removing all the painted finish. barrel was nicely blued under the "paint" they use, but we bead blasted everything. all bearing surfaces were polished, and then Dura Coated in Combat black. doing the insides of the receiver really seemed to help as well, on my other full size 10/22's. we then replaced the hammer/trigger/sear with matched lightweight units for a clean , crisp 2 pound trigger pull. i replaced the recoil spring with a lighter one and added a recoil buffer made from some synthetic material, as i shoot subsonic ammo all time, with or without the suppressor. its a great shooter, and many friends wives and teen age children have enjoyed shooting for the first time at a private range with this. everyone learns a bit of marksmanship, safety, and they have fun while doing it. the 10/22 and Charger are a bit rough as they come from ruger, i detest the bolt release they have, so we modify them when we smooth out the trigger. i prefer the clear 10 rounds magazines to the banana clips as it keeps the weight down, and the gun is a bit more elegant.

i will have to find a SIG soon, to finish my fun .22 set !
