Oh...there is no doubt about that microman. .22's just don't do it for me as much at the range as a bigger centerfire, but to be able to shoot so much for such a fraction of the cost is fantastic. I took it to the range the other day and blew through 250 rounds. That probably was about $12 bucks or so. At best, that would have been about $60 for 9mm's, or about $90 or 45acp. Big difference.
