Hi guys,
I bumped into a S&W 22A at a local shop here NIB for $219. I like the price and I like the feel of the gun, and I happen to be in the market for a decent plinker/hunter/target 22 pistol.
I was looking at this gun a few years ago and I remember reading about cracked frames. I also have read more recently that S&W seems to have fixed that problem. Any truth to that?
I know that this gun comes with the following downfalls:
1) recoil buffer and spring that periodically need to be replaced (cheap and easy to do)
2) finish may not be the toughest finish in existance
And on the upside:
1) accurate
2) cost effective
3) the best customer service on the planet
Any idea if the 22A has been improved? Is $219 a fair price for one these days?
thanks,
