Title: Rough rider .22 pistol
Post by: jeepster on June 20, 2016, 11:52:48 AM: Saw it at the gun counter at Fred Meyer the other day, 120$( or so, forgot exact amount) for a single action 22 pistol. How bad could it be?

I like the single action, no worry of kids going crazy with rapid fire.

Took me a while to get used to the safety .
Mine is more accurate with the 22 Magnums .
22 Mags are loud in a 6 1/2" barrel , bring ear protection.
