After reading the responses in the "Having trouble shooting LCP" thread, I decided that a small pocket .22 was not a bad idea as a trainer for the also small .25, .32, and .380 pistols. Unlike larger, non-pocket/mouse guns, I can shoot 100 or 200 rounds in a session without having any issues with fatigue or shaking, but with the pocket guns, especially the LCP in .380, it's a struggle to shoot more than 20 rounds.
As previously discussed, when I practice with the LCP, I intend to shoot only a couple mags worth at a time.
So, given that I'm not intending to use it for defense, I feel a used DAO .22 would be fine and the Taurus PT22's appear to be the only small, inexpensive option. However, I still want to know what I'd be getting into and I'd like to know some general questions about the line.
1. Does anyone know when Taurus came out with the PT22? What years am I looking at for the non polymer framed guns?
2. In general, how are the older metal framed PT22's? Are they better than the polymer framed ones?
3. Do the metal frame and polymer framed PT22's share magazines?
