puma, I'm going to check out your contact...I would sure like to modify 3 of my SIG P229 22lr mags with different springs and followers. I have one mag built to hold 15 rounds with the different follower and would really like to mod the others.Has any one used Joe Bob Outfitters? I just bought a magazine for my Sig 1911-22 (GSG 1911-22) and a couple of replacement followers that allow 4 extra rounds.
My little brother is looking for one like these. If I find one at a gun show what should I look for and how much should I spend?Just a few S&Ws...all .22, all favorites
Bob
I wanted to shoot one identical to this one pictured on my last range trip in college station. We pulled it out of the case, loaded a mag with some federal match bulk and it wouldn't go bang. I pulled back the hammer and tried 3 more times- no bang. Racked the slide and tried again and again- no bang. I missed out on actually shooting this gun. It felt really good in my hands.Well, I'll give y'all someone to flame......I just picked up my one ....and only (for now) .22 pistol. It is a Walther P22Q, despite all the reviews, most of them bad as far as how picky they are on ammo. I liked it and it felt good in my grasp. Took it out to the range Saturday and put 150 rounds of Rem. golden boolits through it and 50-60 CCI mini mags. Only had one to two FTE/FTF and that was with my sister in-law limp wristing it. I hear that it was designed around the CCI mini mag, that being said it shot every thing well.....so far. Hopefully it continues. All in all I think it is a good plinker and trainer and have enjoyed it thus far.

Thanks.Too broad a question for a proper answer...the S&W K22 in some versions is highly collectible. For instance, the 2nd and 3rd ones down can get pricey. Top one, a 4" M18-3, would go for around $6-$700.00 in minty shape, more with a box. In average shape (some bluing loss, but mechanically perfect, somewhere around $500.00. It also depends on what part of the country you're in. The 6" guns (like the 17-3, bottom) are more common and are more easily found. Good ones are around $500.00. It really boils down to how much you want it, how much it's priced (or over-priced) and if both buyer and seller want to deal.

HAAAAAAA!!!!! That laugh wasn't directed towards you Bigun, it reminded me of something, so I will tell on myself......The 1st time I took it out to shoot it (so far the only time) I loaded it up got all pumped up ready, set.....click. Racked the slide, click. Did this 10 times (that's what the mag holds) and I was might PO'd, thought I bought a real POS. Looked closer at the gun and the SAFETY was engaged!!!!! Wheew, finally got my head out of my ass and the gun shot fine. Sorry you had issues with the one you had, cause it is a really nice pistol (at least mine is, so far). If yer ever down in SA, holler and you can shoot mine......If I aint broke it by then.I wanted to shoot one identical to this one pictured on my last range trip in college station.

I think I messed with the safety but it could've been the same issue. No dings in the rims or anything.HAAAAAAA!!!!!

may have been, the safety act as a decocker as well.I think I messed with the safety but it could've been the same issue. No dings in the rims or anything.
Now that my GSG 1911-22 has arrived, and I've had a chance to shoot it, there's no question as to what my favorite .22 pistol is!
