S&W still makes a nice .22 revolver. They are fairly expensive, but very well made. For a good bit less money you might consider a Taurus. I have a Tracker and it shoots great.

I guess that it's cheaper than a firing pin, but I'm not sure how much that is or how often they break.

I've never known of anyone that actually bought one new. They always seem to be a hand me down or a 'I bought it from some guy'.

I don't think that you can go too wrong for what you payed for it. I bought a Taurus .22 revolver for the same reason. I can shoot 50 rounds of .38 or 500 rounds of .22 for the same price.

Wow, are you sure that it hasn't been refinished? I don't think I've seen a Makarov that looked that good. It puts my East German to shame. And most Russian versions I've seen look like they were blued with a rattle can.

I think that you will be pleased with the M&P. They seem to work great and if nothing else, they are better looking than a Glock or XD.

Wow, bad luck that. I would return it to the dealer if possible. That just should not happen.

Sure, why not. I had forgotten what a nice shooting pistol they are until I took mine out the other day and put a few Wolf turds through it. Sad to say, but it shoots straighter than my Glock.

I use Fiocchi hard ball in my Kel Tec. It's a fairly hot round. Noticeably more pop than silver tips.

The Ruger is certainly the way to go in a single action. S&W makes a great double action. Although quite expensive either new or used. Taurus makes a couple of very nice .22 revolvers. Not the best of triggers, but well worth the money.

I saw one at a gun show recently that had drift adjustable rear sights. The tag said it was made in 1969. It was in excellent shape and the owner was asking $250. Seemed like a fair price.

A local dealer has several Glock 19s that were turned in from various police departments. They look to be in good shape with minimal wear. They come with two high capacity mags and night sights. The price is about $375. This seems like a fair deal, but I'd appreciate opinions on buying...

It's a minor thing, but I see your point. That type of thing shouldn't have ever made it out of the factory. If it were me, I would shoot the piss out of it. If you have any problems, swap it for another one. If it's a good shooter, keep it and call it Cindy Crawfords mole...

Taurus 970 If you want a double action, you're pretty much limited to a S&W or Taurus. (Comanche? ug,) I recently bought a Taurus 970 and have been very pleased with it. The trigger is a little heavy and certainly not S&W smooth, but for the money, it's a great pistol. I'm going...
