22 lr hand gun

[Fiv3]

I picked up a new Plinkerton in a trade. It seems like pretty well made .22 pea shooter for sub $150. It's heavy though. It's supposed to have the heft of the Colt SAA. That said, it's pretty accurate and the weight of the gun makes it very easy to keep accurate. It has as much recoil as my 1858 does when I shoot off caps to blow the oil out of the nipples.

It's ammo picky however. I was only getting 4 out of 6 going off with CCI, but it ate Cyclones just fine. I really need to try some federals in it since that's what I have in bulk. I've heard they take a few hundred rounds to break in. So far, for a straight range toy, I can't complain.

But if you happen to have $600 laying around,,,

Or in my case an empty credit card,,,
This is one extremely nice .22,,,
4 Federal bulks packs later,,,
Not one glitch yet,,,
CZ-75B Kadet.

But I clean it religiously.

I own, or have owned, several .22 cal pistols including: a semi-auto, High Standard, Military Trophy Citation (6" Fluted Competition Model); a Colt Single action New Frontier revolver; Ruger Bearcat and Single Action Six Revolvers and semi-auto Mark III Target Stainless (Fluted 4") 'Now my wife's cuz she likes it!'; a Walther semi-auto, Stainless, International Arms THP (many stovepipe jams); and a 'camo' semi-auto Browning Buckmark, 6". In my experience, the most accurate 'out of the box failure free' hand gun has been the Buckmark. It has a crisp, short travel trigger and its a joy to shoot. Although Ruger semi-autos are well-made, I would like to see the psychological exam and the I.Q. of the diabolical anti-genious who designed the Mainspring Mechanism 'contraption' for them. One of his ancestors must have come up with the 'Iron Maiden'.
