The new toy
« on: January 01, 2010, 09:31:33 AM »
Finally settled on a .22 pistol. I have been very patient looking for good  deals. I guess patience pays off. :)

Very nice!  Should be a shooter, for sure.

Cool.  I learned to shoot on one of those.  Where'd you pick it up?

I bought a few things from an older gentleman. He asked if I might be interested in a .22 pistol. It was built in 1980, and has had 10 shell (one clip) shot through it. Not a scratch on her.

With such low mileage on this thing. Should I shoot the value out of it? Or try to trade it for a Ruger mkIII?

It's a great gun but not NIB, shoot a few more rounds from it and see if you like, it won't detract from the value.  If you like it and arn't hard up for the money where you'll make a few bucks on a trade KEEP IT and enjoy shooting a fine gun.  Remember even though they shoot well a Ruger is just a couple of stamped out chunks of metal with a pipe wedged on the top.

 :)I may kick myself for saying this but trading that Histandard for a Ruger is like trading a BMW for a KIA.

Well,
After putting a few clips through it. I can tell you. This gun is going to stick around here for a long time.
This thing is the best shooting .22 I've ever had.

I can't believe how accurately it shoots. Nicely balanced, and weighted.
With the price I paid for it I can't go wrong.

Wow Bofire, harsh words!   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I would think the Ruger would at least compare to say a Mustang, but a KIA?  Ouch!   :chuckle:
