    Benefit of shooting 22 is the is is start from 45, so no need for holders etc.

    2 big shoots coming up, one in New Plymouth, the other in Rotovegs
    There will also be the South islands in Ashburton once I get around to putting the application in.

    Do the magazines drop free? That's one of the things that annoyed the shit out of me when I was doing my training, with the club 22/45's.

    Yeah they do drop and quite easily mate. However I wouldn't want to drop them if running around a stage as I don't think they would handle being stood on.

    I think that I have just learnt more about .22 pistols in this post than in the past 12 months.
    Thanks all. See you one the range.

    The Browning Buckmarks drop mags better than the rugers.

    I'm after something like this:

    Have you had any issues with it not locking open on empty?

    Do the Rugers need the higher velocity ammunition or standard velocity ok?
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded

    Not as yet. I run all sorts thru it. Cci subs go well.

    Bought a 555 pack of Winchester that has heaps of missfires. Struck well but no bang.

    LOL You're not wrong. Maybe they should market it as malfunction training ammo

    I just dropped money on a .22lr pistol, was gonna go for a Ruger but these popped up on Gunstuff new for dirt cheap.
    Walther sp22, $25 each for mags and threw a thread adaptor on it. Picatinny rail so gonna put a red dot on and shoot speed steel

    @R93, get your shit together and we will see you in Ashburton...

    Oh, loose the suppressors for speed steel guys, the timers struggle to pick up the shots with cans on.

    I would like to go but pretty sure I will be helping someone find a an animal that weekend.

    If plans change I will be there with bells on.
    My suppressor is pretty loud with HV ammo
