I want to hunt deer or pigs but don’t know anyone who will go with me and show me how to do it right.

The guy who taught me how to shoot handguns was an Israeli relative stationed in the US. He carried a Beretta Model 70 in .22LR. I never saw it have a failure of any kind.

Good question. For me it’s kind of both. I shot .22s and centerfire as a kid, and I don’t remember a lot of problems with my 10/22, but it wasn’t something I worried about.

When I got serious...

Yep. It's easy once you know the trick.

That was the end of 320s for me, and I switched to CZs for competition and carry--at significant financial cost. I find the CZs suit me better anyway, so at...

I'm with you on the guns as tools thing. But it doesn't frustrate me when people are into them for other reasons.

I spent a few years down the 1911 rabbit hole, but sold them all after I came to...

I've seen a lot of .22s at Steel Challenge type matches. With clean guns,polished and tuned magazines, and select ammunition, Ruger Mark2 and 3's seem to be the most reliable. But even then, the...

Awesome!

I'll admit to having some fun hitting steel at 200-500 yds with my .22 trainer...

No. Definitely not! Only the pre-upgrade ones.

I was easily able to make my 320s fire primed cases by dropping them 24” on carpeted concrete.

The Firearm Blog post made this look a lot better than I thought.

The mags look good. Easy detail stripping is especially important...

I have two Mark3s and some other steel .22s. The Rugers are the best of the bunch. But even after cleaning, lubing, tuning and voodoo magic, they still are unreliable. It’s just fine because that’s...

I’m skeptical. This appears to be yet another toy gun that shoots real bullets. The plastic slide isn’t encouraging.

.22s in general aren’t reliable. Sure, there are some that run ok, most of the...

Agree. Support thumb activation is a natural extension of my standard freestyle grip. But SHO activation is important. In fact, if I can't activate it using strong hand only, I won't use a WML.

My post wasn't meant to discount what you said. I just wanted to point out that shock buffers aren't always a bad idea--at least in some guns. I don't think I got lucky. My two other S2s have many...

CZ Shadow2s use a polymer shock buffer. The first one I have replaced was after 35000 rounds. It was still working fine.

Going through some old stuff I found this:

I'm trying to figure out which model has the easiest reach for SHO activation. My SMedium hands make it a challenge to activate the standard TLR-7 switch with my trigger finger.

What do y'all...

Huh. California—the state where I used a ‘high capacity’ auto to defend my family during a home invasion, and my parents kept an assault rifle for protection against politically motivated death...

Yep. That’s how I do it. I don’t like the ring either.

I'll check out ChemTool. A quick Google just now couldn't determine whether it is chlorinated, which can cause stress-cracking in steel. I do use Gunscrubber, which is non-chlorinated.

I like CGW,...

willie, all good points. I don’t think either is what happened.

The 2 kabooms happened in my practice gun, and not my two match guns, which also shoot the same mixed brass. The match guns also...

Yikes! That is scary. Hope you weren't seriously injured.

The most important thing is to have a consistent and effective grip on the gun, while being able to press the trigger without disturbing the sights.

You don't want to compromise your grip in an...
