    Just have to say something about CA's open carry. Why would you want to carry an unloaded gun?? Doesn't make much sense. You could always tell the attacker to hold on a sec while you load your gun. :)

    I've been hearing the same. That they like the CCI's. Or any good quality hign velocity rounds, not the cheap stuff. But I'm fine with that. I've also heard they have a FTF problem with HP's. Something about a lip on the feed ramp. I'll have to look closer when I pick it up Friday.
    Are you overall pretty happy with it.

    Ever see how fast one can load a weapon and shoot?

    It's all we got, give us a break :) We're happy to have that.

    are you happy with that? just because someone gives you an inch does not mean you do not deserve the full mile.


    these sorts of laws are weird. like mentioned earlier, they only apply to the law-abiding. Not the law-breakers. If you are confronted by a thug with a gun... you can not load your mag and rack it faster than the goon can pull a trigger a quarter inch. not happening.

    guns do not kill people. bullets do. an empty gun is a paperweight. club at best.

    how fast can you throw it at him :p:p;)

    Everyone should have a .45. Double stacks sound great, but they never fit my hand. I wear med gloves. But the XD .45..... that thing is like butter. I still can't believe there is a double stack of 13 in there. All XDs are good, but the .45 is special. So natural.

    Also, since it's been said many times... I don't get the desire to open carry. I can in Colorado, and I have in a indiscreet way. But it wasn't real cool. Too much attention. And nothing like telling the bad guys who to shoot first.

    Well no I am not happy with that or any of the other lame Cali gun laws but in this state, gun owners are a minority :( The Anti gun movement here is just fine.

    I don't practice the open carry.

    I still say it's not hard to load a weapon on the fast. A single viewing of a shooting comp. where one has to load proves this to be fast :p

    When I go target practicing I sometimes practice loading then shooting on the fast. I'm pretty dang fast, but no, not fast enough to outrun a bullet.

    yea mine will fire the cci stingers all day long with no problems another good shooter is the aguila hyper velocity its actually 100fps faster than the cci stingers on the ftf yea some hollow points will do that i had to open the lips on the mag just a hair and it basically fixed any ftf the round hit the ramp on a slightly higher angle when i did that overall i like the p-22 a lot fun to shoot and fairly accurate with good ammo good luck with your new toys.
