LOL! That's Great!!

Looks fine to me! Better than mine anyway!

Can't speak to the Magnum Research product, but having had the Smith 22WMR since it's release, I feel confident in my comments on it. Initially, I couldn't get 3 rounds in a row out of it without a misfeed, a stovepipe, or a failure to go into battery. I followed their recommendation and used only 30/50 grain CCI, Fiocchi, Hornady, and Speer ammo. It made no difference whether mixed in the mag or all one brand. I didn't load 30. Always stopped at 25 rounds. I almost wanted to trash the pistol! Even contacted S&W Service about a return or replacement. All the glowing reports from reviewers had me very perplexed. Was this a fluke or a normal occurrance? I guess I got an honest tech when I called. After a long conversation, I was told to send it back if I wanted. I was not the first to complain on it. However he did suggest that if I like the idea of the pistol...invest a bit more time and a lot more money in ammo for it. Also start at 15 rounds and slowly work up on the number of rounds in the mags. I did that. Second 300 rounds saw a bit of a change in feeding from the mag. Didn't get above 20 loaded until I finished those. I have between 700-800 rounds thru mine now and it has gotten more reliable. Still don't load more than 25 in the mags. I'm using ONLY 40 grain jacketed ammo, and pretty much Fiocchi and Hornady. Feeding is better. Still the occassional stovepipe, and still usually at least once a mag the slide will be slightly out of battery. A light tap normally cures it. I do feel better about it now. Enough so that I'm keeping it and plan on a little time with some flitz cloth on suspect surfaces. It is fun to shoot, and it is better than the Keltec 22 WMR. LOL! But...if you want a dependable, fun to shoot, and a good trigger...buy a Walther! Yes, I really think it's a much better pistol than the Smith if you want a 22 Magnum shooter. Walther recommends 30 grain and above, no polymer tip bullets, and absolutely no Agulia. My personal preference just for fun shooting is Fiocchi 40 grain. If for serious work, Speer Gold Dot 40 or CCI Maxi 45 grain segemented rounds. I may yet decide to let go of the Smith. I'm that pleased with the Walther. Good luck with yours.

Just needs to spill the one in her mouth so we can assess her other qualifications!

You're buying it for me? Thanks. You know where to deliver it. lol

Sure wish we weren't so far apart! I'd take this in a heartbeat!

And a nice one at that!

Quite right. I have books I bought at least 10 years ago that I haven't picked up since bringing them home. My wife on the other hand...cleans stacks of books. Thereby messing up my reading order. I may never finish them all.

Those are the Biden gals. Stay away from them, or face the wrath of Hunter and family.

SAD. Martin Mull was a very great, but under-rated...actor. He never failed to deliver a performance that enhanced any movie, TV show, or comedy concert he was in. Sort of a Billy Connelley type before it was hip to be sharp and funny. His work in "Clue" alone should earn him much recognition.

I still have one of the "Steel" kits. Always thought I'd try and put it together. LOL! Never got around to it. Maybe I should offer it to you as a partial trade on something!?!?

Sweet pistol! Tempting.

Can't do anything on it now, but will be coming to M'boro about this time next month. If you still have it then, I'll get with you. Yeah...I know...a lame comment. But true. To much going on with wife and last week's flash flooing here in East Nashville. Surely someone will jump on this by then. If not...

These are fantastic pistols. Just as underappreciated now as Canik was initially. Bought 2 SAR9s and have shot one. Absolutely love it! Forgetten how good a steel frame can feel when shooting. Although I have no knowledge of this particular model...I'd be willing to go for it if we were closer.

Ditto.

May be wrong...but don't think the full size 1911 Nightmare was available in 9mm. There is a P938 called a "Nightmare" and a P226/229 also called Nightmares. But as a purist, has to be a full-size 1911 in 9mm for me to call it a Nightmare. JMO.

2 cases of Ramen, a dozen or so salisbury dinners, and 40-50 cans of BBQ Vienna Sausage(I splurged on those). Plus several boxes of unsalted Salteens. I think I'm set for a couple of weeks. lol.

Thank the Lord! I was wavering!

I didn't acquire the 1911 bug until 2009. Got to fire a Colt Officer's Model. I was hooked.

Sort of reminds me of some of the Igh Standards of the 60s and 70s.

PBJ and water. Wife and I lived on that seemed like for years. Both had the car lust. Could pay for rent and cars. That was about it. I've recently gotten back on to those PB&J Sammiches. I find them tasty, fast, but not as cheap as they were 40+ years ago. But at least we can afford the crunchy style now.

NO! No! No! I don't need another one of your cast-offs! Actually, I seem to remember getting something like this from you a while back. LOL! Even so...if not for some medical stuff still lingering, I'd do it again! These are great pistols. Second only to Glock for reliability and ease of use. I actually like the grip safety on these. MMakes you have a correct grip and makes it almost as easy as a 1911 to shoot. I would like that holster though.

My first old car was a worn out Ford. Like most back then...no money. A buddy showed me how to remove starter and alternator and rebuild them. About the last time I could do anything but open the hood and hunt for the dipstick. Don't none of you wisea*** tell me to put a mirror under the hood either!

Fixed that for ya!

My wifey thanks you for tonight's good dreams.
