Releventchair, I use the federal 40 grain .22lr but there are two different federal loadings in 40 gr. at slightly different velocity. I forget the particular label on the one I use but in may be "#502". I can't recall the manufacture's load numbers at the moment. I have found that one Federal load to be more reliable in feeding than the CCI loads and especially more reliable than the 36gr. stinger hollow points.

I've had Federal in a centerfire caliber disappoint. But .22 is another horse all together.

Nice to have a generous quantity of the same lot once a preferred fodder for an individual is found out. Getting to where I should tape a note on each .22 as to it's preferred diet...

Remington thunderbolts/"thunderduds" I avoid. Odd when other of their offerings in other calibers /gauges performs great.
But then Federal I've had disappointment in a ceterfire bullet , and their .22's are alright.

They used to tuck these little guns in the waist band of their pants to keep them concealed.

Here's a Canadian reference. Not a cheap one, but a reference...

[High-Power pistols were also produced in Canada for Allied use, by John Inglis and Company in Toronto. The plans were sent from the FN factory to the UK when it became clear the Belgian plant would fall into German hands, enabling the Inglis factory to be tooled up for Hi-Power production for Allied use. Inglis produced two versions of the Hi-Power, one with an adjustable rear sight and detachable shoulder stock (primarily for a Nationalist Chinese contract) and one with a fixed rear sight. Production began in late 1944 and they were on issue by the March 1945 Operation Varsity airborne crossing of the Rhine into Germany. The pistol was popular with the British airborne forces as well as covert operations and commando groups such as the Special Operations Executive (SOE), the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and the British Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment.]

There's a Canadian orientated version of a Glock.

Duckshot, I am not familiar with the Jennings 32, the only one I had checked out was the 22.

When I took my concealed weapons course, at the shooting range we were given a 22, a 38, a 40 and a 45. The instructor was actively involved in shooting competitions around the country. The 22 was one of theirs and it was set up for competition. Like you said RC, that thing was light and hit where it was aimed and target acquisition was instantaneous. For my "carry" I use my 45 with the NAA 22 as a back up.

I owned the Walther PK 380. POS.Sold it to my best buddy. we’re still friends except at the range.

=======
Never had a 380 that I recall I know I have looked at them numerous times when I was looking for something light. Bought a Baby Desert Eagle for my concealed carry. The weight was terrible and when carrying in my shoulder holster I felt like the Hunch back of Notre Dame. Sold it to a gun shop. A year later I missed using it on the range so I bought another one, but it will never be my choice for concealed carry. My Sig 45 occupies that position.

I forget who said that a pistol is only for fighting your way to your shotgun, but there is definitely some truth to that and maybe a lie or two as well. If I get in a fight indoors I want a shotgun, if I get in a fight outdoors I want a rifle, but if there is only two inches between myself and a person assaulting me, I got a pistol.

Think of the one that killed Hitler. Except it was a 32. It was modeled off that gun.

Good morning Rook, Bill, ARC, RR, and the rest of our illustrious crew!

Congrats RR on being street legal!
I'll tell you what I told mine when they started driving. Drive defensively like everyone else out on the road is a nut, cause they are, and if it's bigger than you are don't, cause you will lose.

...ok, now...Will some one explain all the holes in the rum barrels? And a few are just splinters! What have we been doing?
