have you shot the bob cat? most of those .22 pocket pistols jam a lot i would never carry anything unreliable like that for self defense.if youre set on a .22 buy the best and get a ruger mkIII or 22/45. but for a dual purpose carry/plinking gun id go with a 9mm or .40 because theyre still affordable to shoot.

Definitely, I don't know what a bob cat is, but I know that if you want a .22lr pistol, you can never go wrong with a Ruger mkII or mkIII.
The Walther p22 has a lot of hate, but personally I haven't had any trouble with it. Only cost me $300 too

If I were buying a .22lr pistol I'd get a Ruger 22/45 or GSG 1911 22

AR guys - any recommendations on reasonably priced optics?

Want to get something for my AR15.  All I'm running right now is the rear magpul flip-up sight.  Looking for something decent but doesn't need to be crazy money.  Durability would be preferred.

Hold off, save your money, and just buy an ACOG.  Great optic for an AR, IMO.  Especially the 4x magnification for "mid-range" and out.

Can't find anything else much more durable.

Thanks for all the advice doods. My friend also has a fucking Tech-9 that might be for sale, maybe i'll try and aquire that... Haha.

i would never suggest a ruger 22/45 to anyone after owning mine. The only good part to owning that was that you milled the grips off. that being said. I would suggest a buckmark over both of those guns.

easier to clean and the upgrade list is just as long as the 22/45.

Probably one of the sketchier things I've done. "Hold this side down while I mill over here."

Midrange, nothing crazy.  Mainly go plinking with it now, would like to start taking it hunting soon however.

If its a pre ban tec-9 I would buy it for fun, if its post ban I would pass.  I have a tec-22 pre ban.  It looks cool, but its a piece of shit.  Masterpiece Arms is the only way to go for a heavy, shitty, reliable but fun UZI looking gun...unless you actually want an UZI but youd be dropping 2-3k for a complete one with box, barrels, stock, etc.

I posted my Kimber 1911 a few pages back. I purchased the .22 cal slide for it and would carry it any day. But the .45 would go on just because.The only time it ever jammed was with shit .22 rounds.
Buy some quality rounds and I bet most .22's that jam, wont.

He's saying that he carries it in .45 but has a .22 slide for it also.
Make no mistake, .22lr will still kill a man...

Most of those you need to feed them high velocity in order to cycle.

bare knuckles could too, prob has the same odds

[Rick James]

Yeah, can't really say I'd want to carry a .22lr under any circumstance.

he said he would carry it with the .22 slide on it any day. im fully aware that a .22 could kill someone but its leaving a lot up to luck.

You would rather go with nothing than carry a .22? I'm not saying it's better than a .45 by any means, but it's not useless either.
