Have any of y'all been shooting this little piece? I got a look at one today, handled it but the store where I saw it doesn't allow "test runs" so I'm wondering if anybody has a "review" they'd like to share?
Thanx in advance for sharing!

    This just came up the other day here on GunBroker.

    I just shot one for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I was impressed. Good trigger for the money and excellent sights for my poor old eyes. It's not a thousand-dollar High Standard, obviously. But for the money, I'd put it up against my beloved Ruger MKII.

    Thanx guys
    For $219 (local purchase) it seemed like a decent little gun, Think I'm gonna buy one.
    Any idea what a spare mag or two is gonna cost? There aren't any on the auction side, yet.

    The mags are hit and miss on catching them on the auction side. CDNN has them. I had heard they had some problems feeding. Mine did at first, but now feeds flawlessly. Maybe a brief break in. My much higher dollar Para Ordnance was the same way. Mine is very accurate.
    I like it.

    We have a 622 and really enjoy it. I think they use the same mag if that helps. Better check on me to be sure! I think the two,22a and the 622 are really close. Have had ours for years and no problems, I cant even begin to tell you how many rd thru ours.

    I have had a 22A for a couple of years now. Love it. Feels good in my hand and is very accurate (well more accurate than I am!) Easy to take down with the push button. I must have over 10,000 rounds through it with no fuss. I tend to shoot the cheep stuff so ocasionaly have a failure to fire but when I pull the round apart most of the time there is no primer. Great gun for the money.
