Price question

[flow]

Been looking for the wife a 22 semiautomatic pistol for a couple months now and have been coming up short...obviously lol. I found a beretta 22 (replica of 9mm just a little shorter) but it will be about 450 after shipping and FFL. Should I pop on it or be patient? My gut tells me grab before it's out of stock but my brain is saying that's a little high for a 22

Get it at 450 or it may be 650 or unobtainable. I hate to think like that but the more I see the worse it gets.

Beretta neos are going for under $300 on gunbroker if you watch for a week you will find one.

I would say spend the $450 on a browning buckmark.

Ya that's what I'm worried about. Didn't take much to convince me lol. Just wanted a nudge

She likes that it looks like a 9mm

Personally, if someone had a 22 pointed @ me, I would be hands up taking steps back. But she seems to think it is more of an intimidation factor. I will wait and check gun broker for a week or so. Really wanted the tx22

We got to shoot the SW EZ-9 the other day - and I must say the improvements are amazing. biggest change for me was the slide pressure to load up. Wife hated everything else I had, she shot a kimber micro-9 and fell in love with it because it was "easy". The new EZ-9 is very similar. She also shot the Glock 44 in 22lr - was able to cut a card in half (sideways) at 10 yards. She hit it 3 times out of 8 rounds - something to consider there as well..... I've been looking for a GSG Firefly (22lr) as well for months.....the one with the threaded barrel looks menacing if thats what shes going for. GL!

Picked up a G2 for the missus, but she's still on about the kt p17.

Lots of problems with firefly's.
Better to go with something that works and will last.
Don't normally encourage people to use 22's for self defense, but 10 rds of 22 in 5 seconds or less then a reload is damn scary. Plus practice is easy and cheaper(sic) than normal self defense calibers

I thinking GSG originally made the early Sig 22 for Sig, before they started building them themselves.
Then, they (GSG) started selling the firefly, same as the early sig 22. They were identical except the name of course.
I believe I read that on their site when I first saw the gsg firefly for sale.
So if there was a lot of problems, I guess that could have been the reason Sig stopped farming out and started making their own?

l bought a P22 walther with my first can. Ran great until the the slide cracked (after 20 yrs). Found out they use low grade pot metal for the slide. They replaced the slide ,but only after some pressure. Hardly shoot it anymore since I got my Mark III threaded barrel. Thought the Sig mosquito was a good replacement until I handled it. Not a real Sig, they out sourced it.
I am very careful about slide metallurgy since then

My concern is the 5 inch barrel. She uses tiny purses because when she doesn't she sets it down and loses everything. I wouldn't mind if she just kept in the car. I think that would be the time she needs it. I cant see her drawing on a bunch of other moms lol.

You can’t go wrong with a Glock 44 (.22).
