Is the 22 mag too rare or something like that?

nope, just more expensive than the 22LR for plinking.

excellent round for varmint hunting though.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Well, I think I've change my mind again.  I want a wheel gun since .38 special rounds are not too bad and they have the added benefit of using .357 for extra kick.  Guns are like bikes, you can't stop with one!  What am I getting into...

I have one.  I don't use it much anymore though, I prefer using the Government Model with a 7" bull barrel.  My 22/45 has a 4" barrel, but it is very useful for practicing the 1911 system and getting used to shooting for newbs.

Hmmm...maybe you need to sell it to a likeminded gun nut, that you know on the Left Coast... 8)

i was planning to give it to my nephew when he turns 16.   he has a couple of 22 rifles and does silhouette shoots.  i think he'll eventually get bigger stuff but right now, it's limited to 22 by mom & dad

so whats the general consensus on the new Colts (1918, 1991)?  I've read Kimber is having QC problems, Wilson's are more than I'd like to spend on a 1911 (although for around that price I'm drooling over a Mark 23).

check out the Auto Ordnance 1911's.  They are very high quality (owned by Kahr) and cheaper than many others.

.38 spl is the second cheapest shooting (22 is cheaper) and 38 and 9mm are a close tie, but 38 is almost always cheaper).

you can't go wrong with a wheelgun.  lots of options.  keep a hammerless snub in your sock, a 4" barrel with comfort grips in your night stand and maybe a few others around the house.  simple mechanism, classic looks, easy to use.  point, click, bang.  cleaning is a breeze.

Or maybe one more in the middle. Shipping's cheaper.  ;)

Frankly, I like that idea even better.   [thumbsup]  Way to pass it on, 'Tizz.

The most fun I'm having with any gun currently in the house is with a cool old Ruger Single-Six in .22 Mag. There's something really intoxicating about a single-action, the sound & feel of cocking the hammer, and the challenge of trying to put a series of (relatively) rapid shots on target while repositioning your thumb every shot. The beautiful old antler grips and classic good looks of the gun don't hurt the experience any, either.

I hear you.  My 'gotta-have-for-no-other-reason-than-its-pretty' gun is the Ruger Vaquero...cowboy action at its finest.

yeah.  me too.  my "gotta have it ...etc" is a select fire MAC-10.. someday i'll have enough cash to buy the matching Sionics suppressor.   somedays the calm, cock, aim, fire doesn't work for me and i just need to hose down the range with lead.

there is something about firing at 1000 rds/minute and you can hear the bolt over the muzzle...

Just got another picture of my 1911 with tac light.  The thing looks the part with the light, plus it makes sweeping the house in the middle of the night a whole lot better!

QuoteIn March 1995, Eazy-E checked himself into Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with what he believed at the time was chronic asthma. Following comprehensive tests, it was discovered that he was suffering from AIDS, and his condition deteriorated rapidly.[7] During the week of March 20, already having made amends with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, Eazy-E drafted what would be his last message to his fans.[3][8] On March 26, 1995, ten days after being admitted into the hospital, Eazy-E died at the age of 31.[2] He was buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California.[9]

Helllllllll no.

I've got an H&R .22LR revolver that is a favorite for the same reasons. Simplicity defined, and dirt cheap to fire all day.  :)
