Longtime Reader Mike S. sends me this missive:
“Knowing your fondness for the .22 Mag cartridge…”
[whimper]
And the Outlaw almost likes it too, mostly because of a couple of feeding issues (something I noticed with the Kelt-Tec model as well, but the Kel-Tec was terrible — multiple FTF in a single magazine).
Still…
Can you say: “Kids’ Joint Birthday Present For The Father Figure”?
Want. WANT.
What I truly want back is my Beretta Model 76 in .22 LR. A lovely piece of machinery that I was forced to surrender. At least I was allowed to sell it (at a loss!) rather than have it crushed as my semi-auto .22 rifles and pump action shotgun were.
And now the government has just advised that I will no longer be allowed to own ANY firearms as of later this year. Why? They’re changing the rules for ownership and my only recourse would be to compete in an “authorised” match at a gun club several times a year to keep mine. And I still wouldn’t be allowed to use them for hunting … 56 years I’ve owned and used firearms. I am a qualified range officer; I was a Commonwealth firearms coach until I let it lapse; I don’t have so much as a speeding ticket against my name. But I’m not deemed “suitable” to be “allowed” to own a firearm. They have made me feel diminished as a human being. I will NEVER forgive them.
That pistol sounds really handy for wandering the woods. 30 rounds of 22mag is better than harsh words.
Too bad the overlords in my state wet their pants after 11 cartridges in a rectangular tube with a spring and a plate in it
