Finally took this little pistol out today. As I mentioned while back found this cleaning out stuff in one day. Wife had bought it years ago and "lost track" of it, ie, she forgot she ever bought it
I have had it sitting on my work bench for weeks and kept forgetting to toss it in the range bag.
So the good:
For a ultra cheap little plinker it works. Several kinds of .22 ammo all feed fine. Trigger is surprisingly crisp for such a cheap pistol. Almost on par with my newest Ruger MK that still has factory trigger in it. It's the shorty model and with iron sights I was not shooting any groups to impress anyone but that's not the pistols fault my eyes are not what they used to be.
The bad:
The multiple anti lawyer safeties on the damn thing. Took a while to get used to them. I had read there was ways to get rid of them. Since we have so many .22's this will most likely live in the safe now so doubt I will bother. Mags are a little rough to load. No finger button. Springs were quite easy just got old in a hurry trying to load them. Not at bad as the little Ruger LCPII in .22, that one is almost impossible for me to load without a tool. These would certainly be nicer with some kind of button. Again may be a loader that would fit them.
So if someone wanted a .22 they could toss in the tackle box and not worry about? This would fit that to a T. Stainless and cheap enough most would not be concerned it it got banged up. The sell another upper for these to give it a longer tube that is less than a C note. Doubt it will be for me since we have to many .22 pistols already but, would be fun for those who wanted a tackle box pistol they could slap a plinking top on when they wanted to play.
