I am not real big on the style but it is growing on me. I love the grip in my hand. And after shooting 1.5in five-shot groups fired at 25 yards from sandbag I think the accurcy is more than enough to sell me on this gun. I used CCI (as I almost always use in .22) I had zero problems with feed and shooting 70 rounds. The take down is very easy and simple. The gun has a sweet finish on it. The mag release is in a odd place being on the right side to the rear and above the trigger. I may add a cheap Red Dot just for fun. If you want a low priced 22 auto Single Action Only that is very accurate and well built do not overlook this U22.

It is a stainless steel frame and slide double-action, semi-automatic handgun with 4 inch barrel, De-cock/safety and an 11-round staggered-column magazine. It replaced 2nd generation S&amp;W semi-autos and featured a wrap around one piece grip versus standard 2 piece side grips and low profile 3 dot Novak sights. A lightweight aluminum framed S&amp;W 4003 was also produced that weighed 800 grams (29 ounces) and was more comfortable to carry. The 4046 model was a DAO (double action only) pistol. The first 2 digits in the model number indicate caliber. The last digit either a 3 or 6 indicate aluminum or stainless steel frame respectively. Various safety features include a safety lever, drawing the firing pin away from the hammer as well as the inability to fire without a magazine inserted. The Model 4006 has been used by many law enforcement agencies as a standard duty sidearm, including by the California Highway Patrol , California State Parks and Rec. and until recently, the Colorado State Patrol. smithandwesson Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:36:21 -0500 M9-A1 http://www.tngunowners.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=64 <a href="http://www.tngunowners.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=64" target="_blank"><img title="s_1.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.tngunowners.com/reviews/data/4/thumbs/s_1.jpg" alt="s_1.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: CK1<br /><br />Description: Pistols created since 1912, in the house of STEYR MANNLICHER, are famous all over the world for their futuristic design, superb ergonomics, absolute safety, and extraordinary precision. The new M-A1 pistol line continues this tradition, while featuring many detailed innovations. Light and easy to upgrade The integrated Picatinny rail, in the front of the frame, is a modern and internationally applicable solution to mount quickly and easily a variety of laser-aiming, or illumination devices. With a total weight of only 766 g, (27oz) the new M-A1 pistol is extraordinarily light. Keep an eye on the target The unique trapezoid sight offers a new dimension in rapid target acquisition. The sight's shape guides the eye onto the target, and thus the target is captured exactly and quickly. (Also available are rectangular tritium night sights, great for target acquisition in low light conditions). Have the handle The new innovative grip offers unsurpassed ergonomics, which results in a natural point-ability. It optimally supports the natural posture of the wrist during shooting. Improved adhesion is provided by the special surface design.

The frame is made of polymer with an aluminum insert, and the slide and barrel are steel. It is the lightest production .380 ACP pistol in the world at 8.3 ounces empty. Measuring only 5.2&quot; long, 3.5&quot; high and .77&quot; wide, it is roughly the same size as many diminutive .22 and .25 caliber pistols. The P3AT cartridge capacity is 6+1, but there is a one-round magazine extension available. Trigger pull is a light 5 lbf. These attributes have made it a favorite for civilians with concealed carry permits and with law enforcement as a back-up or off-duty pistol. The P3AT lacks any sort of slide stop, omitted in order to keep the size similar to the P32. The P3AT had met with some criticism focused on its mostly polymer construction and the allegedly weak performance on .380 ACP round it fires. Both private owners and officers claim that since most self-defense situations occur within seven yards (21 feet) the P3AT is adequate. It has seen reliable sales for home defense, civilian concealed carry, or a law enforcement officer's off-duty or backup. The P3AT as well as the .380 round it fires have been marketed towards women due to the compactness and lower recoil, respectively. However, the small size and weight of the P3AT results in increased felt recoil, in some respects more intense than recoil from larger calibers in full-sized guns. This recoil is often described as snappy, and is felt primarily as a sting to the fingers, to distinguish from the push of a large caliber handgun that may be felt in the arm and body. The Kel-Tec P3AT comes with either blue, parkerized or matte chrome slide and black, grey or olive drab green polymer frame. Current production is the second generation model, with improvements to reliability over the first generation. The most easily distinguished difference between generations is the extractor. The first generation has a traditional external extractor parallel to the side of the gun, while the second generation has a button-head hex screw to the rear of the extractor, which is at an angle to the side of the gun. Both the P3AT and its cousin, the P32, are popular concealed carry guns with female shooters due to their small size and light 5 lb double action trigger pull. The P3AT is very well suited to a defensive role as it is small enough to fit into most purses yet uses .380 ammo which is considered by many to be the smallest trustworthy caliber for adequate stopping power and penetration. Many caliber projectiles won't penetrate the 12 inch depth in ballistic gelatin that the FBI requires for carry weapons when shot from hand gun size barrels Boomhower Mon, 12 Nov 2007 21:07:42 -0600 P01 http://www.tngunowners.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=47 <a href="http://www.tngunowners.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=47" target="_blank"><img title="main028.png" border="0" src="http://www.tngunowners.com/reviews/data/4/thumbs/main028.png" alt="main028.png" /></a><br /><br />by: bkelm18<br /><br />Description: After 3 years of some of the most aggressive small arms testing ever, the New CZ P-01 will be the successor to the CZ 75’s currently in use by the Czech National Police. The P-01 is based on the CZ 75, but with improvements in Metallurgy, quality control, and design. The components of the P-01 are completely interchangeable. This required some very careful re-design so that reliability and accuracy were not compromised. The P-01 is named to convey that this is a new pistol and a new level of quality and Reliability, the P-01 is the first New CZ of the New Millennium. The P-01 features: - A forged aircraft grade aluminum alloy frame for light but reliable day-to-day carry. - A Hammer forged barrel for accuracy and durability. - De-cocker action and a firing pin block for maximum safety. - The P-01 is also equipped with an M3 rail to accept lights or lasers. - Dual slide serrations for easy slide operation. - Generous squared triggerguard for gloved hands. - Re-contoured trigger for smoother, consistent trigger pulls - Durable, chemical resistant, matte polycoat finish. - Lanyard loop on butt. - Checkered rubber grips and serrated front and back strap for superior handling. - Easy disassembly for cleaning.

Check out a detailed photo slide show here: http://www.rockyou.com/show_my_gallery.php?source=ppsl&amp;instanceid=85901751 Took it out to the range this weekend. Shot about 250 rounds of cheap Winchester 9mm ammo and about 20 Winchester Ranger +P+. I couldn't be happier with the way it shot. I was expecting alot more recoil after shooting a Khar PM9, but this new Walther handled really well. Double taps were easy. Great trigger pull and reset. Good sights. Feels good in the hand. I shot it with the standard backstrap, and my friend who has really large hands put the larger backstrap on and loved it. Conceals well too- not as good as my j-frame, but for a semi auto with 6+1 rounds its great. Everyone that sees it really likes the looks and the thinness. I'm glad I got it.

A refinement of a design created for several European police agencies, the P2000 is available with a traditional single-action/double-action trigger mode and the LEM/CDA (Law Enforcement Modification, also known as Combat Defense Action) trigger system first introduced in 2001 on the USP Compact &quot;LEM&quot; model. Developed especially for a U.S. government agency, the CDA/Law Enforcement Modification (or LEM for short), is a unique trigger mechanism created specifically to improve the trigger performance and reduce the weight of the Double-Action Only (DAO) trigger pull on HK pistols. A set of simple-to-install modular grip panels allow the P2000 to be custom-fitted to any shooter’s hand. An ambidextrous magazine release and dual slide release levers make handling the P2000 natural and easy for right and left-handed shooters alike. Industry standard mounting rails allow the widest variety of lights, laser aimers, and accessories to be added to the P2000 by sliding them onto the open rail system. The HK P2000 includes the same recurved, hook trigger guard found on the USP Compact and uses reliable and widely available USP Compact magazines.

It has a double action only trigger which when dry firing feels extremely heavy, but you don't notice it much when you are firing the gun. It weighs 11.8oz empty, and fits easily into cargo or front (loose) pants pocket. The gun is composed of a scandium/aluminum alloy frame, titanium cylinder, and stainless steel barrel. Hogue manufactures the grip. I can carry this everywhere and nobody knows. I've fired both .38spl +P and .357 Magnum 125 grain Hydrashoks, and for carry, the +P makes more sense to me because of the tremendous recoil generated by these particular .357 Magnum cartridges. The first time shooting was spent getting used to the recoil. I was able to keep all the rounds in a 4&quot; group at 10 yards though with Speer Gold dot 38+p defense ammo. This is hands down the best carry gun I've owned. Other guns, while great, are heavy compared to this one, and since it's a revolver, it's always going to fire.

That too has to change. Anyhow here goes. This gun is a very economical method of accuracy training. It costs about $275 as opposed to over $1200 for a Fenworkbau match air pistol but as far as I can see, its accuracy easily approaches that of the more expensive gun. The quality of construction is above average for an air gun of this price and the adjustable hard wood grips fit my hand nicely. I did have to mold the leading edge on the left front of the grip to fit my finger curl but the manufacturer expects the grips to be altered to meet an individual's standards. it is a single pump, single shot air pistol that has little or no recoil which allows the pellet to go where the gun is pointed without being effected by barrel bounce, common in air pistols. If you want to practice target hold and trigger control I can't think of a better way to do it. I set up a shooting range in my lower level at the Olympic distance of 10 meters or 33 feet American. The gun shoots .177 pellets and a tin of 500 costs about $7.50 - $10.00. It makes a pop noise about the same volume as a clap of the hands and can be shot into a cardboard box filled with newspaper. The gun shoots pellets at about 475 feet per second and is set up for target use. I would not expect it to be good for small varmints due to its low velocity. If you think you are a good shot with a center fire pistol, try one of these, it may take you down a notch or two. The reason being is that if your hold is not repeated and there is any trigger jerk of any kind at all, it will reflect in your shot and your accuracy will be off considerably. Air pistols are a great training aid and can easily fit into one's collection of firearms as a wonderful means to achieve better shooting skills. The few things that some people may find as a negative about this gun is that it is made in Russia and there is only a 90 day warranty on it, long enough to cover &quot;infant mortality&quot;, in other words a bad one off the assembly line but a bit short on complete coverage of the normal year we are used to in other products. All in all for the price, this has been a fabulous item that I use every day to sharpen up my skills.
