    I ended up picking out a walther P22 and a Sig Mosquito at the same time for the same price. I think the P22 shoots better, but it is picky on the ammo. The sig was significantly larger and heavier, but fired just about every type of round we put through it. I am taking the CCP class in a few weeks. Yippee! The wife really wants a left handed weapon, but they start at 1100 for the few that are available. She just needs to learn to use her index finger for the slide release, everything else is lefty friendly.

    I also scored a charles daily 28" 20ga for a steal at my neighbor's garage sale. Brand new in the box, he has had it since 06, never fired. Now all I need are some incendiary rounds...

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Just curious, what ammo did you have trouble with? I have a P22 and it really has no issues with ammo from my experience.

    It did not like the winchester hollow points. I hat about 1000 of em for my little mossberg rifle. I had at least 10 failure to eject, or double chamber. I have read all the stuff about shaving down the entry to the barrel to prevent future problems. The sig had ZERO problems. Either way, I am happy and would buy the gun again. I managed to find the green one in a sporting goods store that offered military discount Good deal for me. My favorite round through the gun was the aguila supermax. I am always amazed at the underestimated power of a 22. That little pistol was putting the 22s through treated 2x4s at 10-15 yards. I also bought a box of the 22 shotshells. Pretty neat, would be great for snakes at close range. I am confident that I could shoot a person in a jacket at 15 feet and you would have no penetration...lol. Thats what she said....sorry, couldn't help it.

    Last month, picked up CHEAP, an Eotech 553 and MPO III magnifier for my AR. I have yet to hit a range this year so looking forward to zero'ing in and getting my spring/summer plinking session going.

    Similar to picture, but not exact models....

    Glock 34 with the grip chopped to 19 length. Turns regular pressure ammo into +P. Plus I love the look on people's faces when I make "imposible" 100 yard pistol hits, offhand.
