You've got it all figured out!

If anybody has any leads on Walther stuff (specifically a PPK .380), I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, it may be a Glock 19 or me. And yes, I understand they are very different guns, with the former being a pretty uhm . . . questionable pick.

I have a Ruger MKIII Target. It's a pain to disassemble and reassemble (even the instructions cause for using a hammer...) and it jams.

Ha! You're so right. I disassembled/reassembled the MKIII once. Never again! Never had any jams though.

I bought a Mosquito for my wife and my son. They are great.

Thumbs up

I finally decided....I went with the Reverse two-tone Sig Mosquito. It just looks sooo sexy. I decided against the Ruger because its just to much of a hassel to field strip and clean and its not as pretty as the Sig. Plus the newer Sigs I hear are a lot better then the 1st generation jamomatics and that its best to use CCI mini-mags which I would use anyway. I have it on order, just waiting to pick it up. Here is what it will look like...

Tried out the new pistol yet?
I picked up a 2-tone Sig Mosquito this weekend for the little lady.
(Not my picture)



We compared it to the Walther P22, and although the P22 had a lighter trigger she liked the way the Sig grip fit her hand better. I'm glad she liked the Sig because the Walther barely fit in my hands. After a good clean and lube I took it to the range yesterday and ran 200 CCI mini-mags through it. It ran flawlessly and had great accuracy. I have read that the newer "F" serial number guns are much more reliable then the early "A" serial number guns. I am very pleased with the overall quality for a ~$300 semi-auto.

Next weekend I will take the woman to the range and see how she likes her new toy. She is new to shooting so I think this will be a great starter pistol for her. Not to mention I can use it for cheap trigger time instead of dumping as much ammo through my .40 P226.

P22's are fun and look mean. Don't have experience to offer on the others.

I do not have it yet but I am stocking up on the mini mags, Dicks had 6 one hundred packs for 10$ each and I just cleaned them out in anticipation, I also picked up some stingers, and a 50 round pack of velocitors. The guy I deal with is a Sig Dealer and they have been back ordered for months, but he said he should be getting them in 6-8 weeks, so thats about end of august/early september from when I placed the order. Its hard to find guns in NJ, but I got a good price on it $340 OTD, including all fees.

I am still not sure on the second purchase yet, I was looking at Makarovs, the Sigmas, and the Taurus PT 111 pro.

Got a Sigma 40. I like it. The trigger is long and takes some getting used to. After that its fine.
