$200 22/45

[Erich]

Can't wait to get it out to the range tomorrow - it's been shot a fair amount, but I took it down and it's in fine shape.

Actually, it was a few pennies less than $200.

Sweet!

My MKII 22/45 is my most common shooter and always fires perfectly

You will love it, excellent pistol

Nice find. Congrats.

You did well. When I saw the MKIII 22/45 for $249 new at a local shop I bought several. They are a gun that will last a long time and will make great gifts in the future when $249 is but a memory.

You did great at under 2 bills.

Thank you all.

I had it out at the range today and put a decent amount of ammo through it. Couldn't really get the chrono to work properly due to the angle of the sun, but I'll mess with that again later. Anyhow, it did fine with everything, but it's a one-hole gun with Velocitors at 10 yards. That's nice.

We shot Mk Is in college, and I had a Mk II Standard (that was a one-holer with Winchester's cheap Wildcat load) that I picked up for $100 (and traded off, largely because it didn't have adjustable sights). I was sort of disgusted when they brought out the 22/45s, as I didn't think the heel-release guns needed fixing. To be honest, the grip angle on this plastic gun works better for me than did the one made of stampings, but I'm less thrilled with the slide release (which wants to be depressed and cannot for some reason be slingshotted closed - hope I didn't break something when reassembling it after pulling it apart at the store!).

The 22/45 is just a great pistol.
$200.00 is a great deal Erich.

Erich, this will get your 22-45 slingshotting. http://guntalk-online.com/2245detailstripping.htm#ssmod

My man! Thanks a ton!

JohnK, thanks - I am sitting here on Monday morning wishing it were the weekend already . . . I want to go shoot it again!

 

[Bozack]

Nice find for less than two hundred. and I know what you mean when you say that you want to go shooting again. So do I.

 

[Erich]

Thanks - I'm hoping the wind dies down by Saturday.
