The Kel-tec P17 is very lightweight & it runs so smoothly. It’s one of the most accurate pistols I own

What’s your favorite ammo for the Ruger LCP-2? I like the CCI Stinger .22 LR, 32 gr copper plated, for better reliability (to me).

For our revolver, I like the Federal Punch 29 fr. It even sounds different, if I can borrow from music, it has more of a bass, softer, not piercing. I wonder if part of it is because it’s not as fast

My .22 long-guns are only single shots. I prefer CCI copper 21 gr.

I read that its speed is 1,850 to 1,926.4 fps and higher. I’ve not heard of one faster. It was fun to shoot it with an older vintage rifle, old meets new. We got a kick out of it when our youngest family member fired it through his great-great -grandpa’s rifle.

Planning o try a subsonic ammo to see how that is.

I took a .22 pellet rifle to the range recently, and only after a few minutes, two persons approached me - asking what that was. I often learn something new at the range. I’m a geek who writes notes in a notebook there on the bench.

I’m amazed how the science behind it has changed over history.

I like the CCI stingers but for plinking I have a box of 200 winchesters. In the short barrel 22 I use Silver Punch.

Well here’s your chance:

Beretta 92FSR .22 LR Pistol, Sniper Gray - J90A192FSRF59 | Palmetto State Armory

$299 -$100 rebate = $199. PSA email says the deal ends at midnight, so you better move fast or it might be gone tomorrow. On the other hand I bought a scope from them months ago that the deal was supposed to end at the end of the month, but it did not!

Incredible deal.

Definitely a great deal!

By between my 3 insurance policies,… I’ve got $2k of deductibles to pony up right now. :grimacing:

Ouch. We had a storm with hail that size several years back. The hail was about six inches deep in the yard by the time the storm finally ended. Was a pretty good deal though since for the cost of our deductible we got a new roof and half our windows replaced with much better insulated ones. Now we are waiting for a storm to hit the other half of the house so we can afford to replace the rest of the windows;)

Main issue was we had to put up with listening to roofers hammering new shingles onto homes for the next year or two since it took them that long to finish replacing all the damaged roofs in our town.

No glass damage, but roof, gutters and siding on the house, as well as the roof and skylight on my RV, and about $6k damage to my daily driver.

Sorry you have to deal with all that. Fortunately my wife and young son were in town at the time with our somewhat newer family vehicle. I was able to move my work vehicle into the garage at the start of the storm but my wife’s old commuter with minimal insurance was turned into a dimpled golf ball. The hail hammering the roof and windows was so loud that I had to text them to tell them not to come home till the storm ended.

Hope everything gets put back together quickly for you!

Just a PITA,… and I’m looking to buy acreage, (and an M-82 :thinking: )…. last thing I need is to drain what little savings I have. :cry:

Would you expand on the over-lubrication issues? Does it damage the frame or slide, or does it cause FTF or similar problems that go away with less lubrication?

Thank you :+1:

My 44 has been running fine. I use Hornady 1 Shot. Surprise! The Promag 18 round mags work but I have only been loading 16 rounds. Have not been shooting it much lately since I got the P17’s for my wife and I. Both have the extra red dot slides. I got it to learn how to shoot the red dot and my wife took it so I had to get another one.

I have had bad luck in the past but have lucked out a couple times now. The Ruger Mini 30 10 round mags don’t work. The Promags 10 round mags do. Quite a few of us were having problems with the Ruger mags (bad follower design) and a couple tried the Promags and they worked. Cheaper too. I needed the 10’s for traveling to Kalifornistan. I had a stock for my Ruger American bolt converted to take AK mags. Some had stocks converted to AR mags and are using the Duramags for the AR47. No way to do the Mini 30.

Indeed. How beautiful the contrast of that blue sky and the desert hills.
