The dog wanted to go out, so I grabbed the P-22 and played chaperone for a bit. While she's bouncing around being a dumb dawg, I realized that little P-22 has to be the best fit in my hand of everything I own. It just feels nice, points right on with eyes closed, and a great balance. My rifles I modify to fit-(my .338WM has a 12-1/2" LOP), but the P-22 is good right out of the box. So, what fit's your hand/ shoulder naturally? JB
I have 2 Benelli SBE 1's. In order for them to fit me, I have to use the OEM shim with the most "drop" and add 3/4-1 inch on the LOP for it to fit me properly. I have long arms and a long neck.
Back when I was in college I shot my neighbor's Ruger Red Label 20 GA. I didn't miss the entire session shooting clays. As soon as I landed a job out of college, I had one within a month. It fits me better than any other shotgun I've shot.
I like the feel of the Smith and Wesson m&p. They just feel good. However, I like to shoot Glocks. I like the grip angle of a Glock. When I got used to it nothing else felt right. I'm sure I could get used to something else, but I don't want to.
I used to shoot my buddy's Browning Auto-5 Light 12g and had similar results with that gun. I took many pheasants with it over the years. I once bought a modern Browning semi-auto 12g but it just didn't fit me the same. Now I'm searching for a good deal on an original Belgium Auto-5 12g. As far as pistols go, I had a small ParaOrdnance LDA .45 with Crimson Trace grips that was very sweet but traded it on something else years ago. I always regretted not holding onto that one.
I remember another one- Star Model S, .380- had a contoured thumb rest in the left grip panel that I fell in love with. That pistol was not accurate so I traded it, but I'd pick up another if I ever ran across one now.
I have a Remington 870 12ga. that I cut down to fit me. It has a Monte Carlo stock that I cut about an inch off of and put a thin recoil pad on. I did some other customizing to it also.
I have always wanted a p22. I bought a ruger mark 3, 22/45 instead to be more accurate. So I never bought the p22
Different animals altogether. I have always loved the Ruger MK's, my KMK10 is a sweetheart, but the P-22 has it's own niche. The P-22 is just a nice 'lil pistol.
Sayy whaaaaat!? I don't mind the feel of a glock but nothin shoots like my colt 1911. And yes beetle, tha p-22 is a nice fitting little gun. I bought one for my wife but end up shooting it myself from time to time. She's picky on ammo though. Likes to eat the high end stuff
Yup, and I'll stand by that while you're cleaning your 1911 for the 8th time and my Glocks are still going strong!!!! 1911.........7+1= 8 total rounds G41.........13+1=14 total rounds Just saying!!!
OFF TOPIC!!! I still remember a quote..................don't remember where I heard it though........................it goes something like this............... "Beware the man with only one gun.............he probably knows how to use it." I love bird hunting with guys that have these "pristine" guns. They see me whip out my 20+yo beat up Benelli SBE 1 and smirk and giggle!! Until I'm dropping birds they miss etc. etc.!!! All while I'm handling the dogs........for them to kill birds also!!!
My EDC is a Kimber Custom Shop Ultra CDP II in a Crossbreed holster. (Why do i carry a .45?....cause they don't make a .46)
