I *think* I have narrowed my choice for pistol to these two below. I would appreciate your thoughts/comments/advice:

Mr Tonka · 03-11-2013, 03:08 PM

Aside from aesthetics, they are the same pistol. Nearly exactly the same design. Same as a baby eagle as well. I've only heard good things about the two you posted.

I still love mine. Biggest difference between the baby eagle and the above is the de-cocking/safety mechanics. I think the even the mags are interchangeable. I know they are for the CZ and baby eagle.

Mr Tonka · 03-11-2013, 06:39 PM

^^ Nice! Been shooting with it yet?

ChaneRZ · 03-11-2013, 07:44 PM

Yes sir! 10 yards distance this AM

Mr Tonka · 03-11-2013, 08:30 PM

Sweet! I really like mine and it's really accurate for me as well.

ChaneRZ · 03-11-2013, 08:36 PM

Nice! I've been wanting a Scorpion. My LGS are out of stock.

Not my actual pistol but I have the same one at home. No pics on this macbook unfortunately though.

My335iTT · 03-22-2013, 01:32 AM

I finally got to the range and shot some hand guns! (havent shot a gun since I was about 11 and can barely remember that)

Shot a 22, 40 and 45. Tons of Fun. I think I want to pick up a 22 and 45, now to just figure out what to buy. I really enjoyed the XD45 I shot!

MisterSkiMask · 03-22-2013, 09:31 AM

I got to the range finally (yesterday). I had to test my handiwork after my Glock trigger group install. For the record, my work was poor I had the slide release spring above a pin instead of below causing the slide to lock back after each shot. Easily fixed on the range.

Other then that, the new trigger feels good, smooth with a nice break and a nice clean reset.

I also put about 130 rounds through the Model 41, its first time out of the box. There is a lot of hype around that gun, and I really like my Buckmark, but I am here the report that the hype was well earned. Initially I could not find my first shot on my shoot 'n' see, that because it was dead center in the orange. That gun is badass.

I got a couple of stove pipes, but I expected that with a new rimfire in a gun with a reputation of being a little temperamental.

Mr Tonka · 03-22-2013, 12:55 PM

Is the Model 41 really that expensive??

around $1200

Mr Tonka · 03-22-2013, 04:27 PM

Dang. I want a .22 pistol but wasn't prepared to shell out that kind of cash....

You certainly don't have to.

The 41 is very good, but it isn't 3x better then the Buckmark.

I would buy a Buckmark for a first .22 pistol. I am also interested in the S&M M&P22, I have not found one to put my hands on yet, but I will buy one when I see it. It is almost identical to a regular M&P so it would be good for cheap training.

ToothDoc · 03-22-2013, 08:59 PM

If you're the type of person that takes care of stuff and like really high end stuff, just get the Model 41 and call it a day. Otherwise, you'll end up with a Browning Buckmark or Ruger, or some .22 revolvers and still end up with the model 41. LOL I just went straight to the model 41 and never looked back. I took care of it like an heirloom and even after 10,000 rounds, it's flawless (except for the fact it's ammo sensitive).

Personally, my goals for handguns aren't for police/military. I'm more of a bullseye type of guy. One handed (or two) and just focusing on breathing, trigger squeeze, 50-75 feet pistol target. So, my bullseye guns are the Model 41, 952-2, and a 1911. I also have a 627 8 shot performance center revolver to throw into that mix. Those are my prized handguns that I plan on keeping.

The other stuff like Springfield armory and glocks and other high capacity stuff is for my zombie warfare that'll never happen (so I ended up selling most of it).

I have a few CC guns like the .45 XD-S which is a hoot to shoot one handed but doable. Also the Ruger LCP and a Model 36 .38. BTW, all three of them are suprisingly more accurate in my hands than a P229. The P229 has the barrel too high IMO and there is more rotation and just doesn't feel correct to me. The Glocks point up for me and I don't care to change my natural angle of my wrist.

So, I guess my purposes of bullseye and CC ends up giving me the guns I end up keeping. The other guns were just taking up space so I unloaded them and I really don't care to collect guns for the sake of collecting them (except for a Colt Python and I'm looking for a nice .44 mag) My next "handgun" is going to be a fully modified Ruger Charger good for a hundred or two yards. I already have a nice Nikon X scope for it and a Kidd 1.5 lb trigger.

Those small auto .22 I really don't like. They're almost purposeless. They're too small for true self defense, just as big as a CC, and not as accurate as the "other" .22
