AMT Lightning

[Classic12]

Brought the pistol home from the LGS today.

I really like it, seems to be in great condition and a quality weapon, fit and finish are impressive. Quite heavy too for a .22, with the bull barrel, lots of steel in that gun. Can’t wait to go try it out.

I hadn’t noticed the Lightning in the “H”

German proof mark 1986 and importer’s mark, Engels in Frankfurt

I took it to the 25 m indoor range yesterday. It shot a bit high for my liking, so I aimed slightly below 6 o’clock

Then I rested it on a bag for fine tuning the sights

Just a couple clicks were enough to produce good results

Then some more offhand shooting

I am super happy with this pistol. I shot 110 rounds of high velocity ammo (Eley force), not a single hiccup, gun was totally reliable including the last 30 rounds at very high pace. It’s heavy but well balanced, very stable, and the trigger is very good.

That's a good looking pistol and I'm glad it runs well.
