Nice looking pieces ::tu:: One of my favorites is my Sterling Arms 22LR auto that I bought 30 years ago right in their home town Lockport, N.Y. I have run thousands of rounds through it killing every can I can line up. It's the ultimate "Saturday Nite Special"
I'll dig it up and post a pic or three this weekend. I know Sterling went out of business several years ago making this a real collectors piece :lol: I'll bet it's worth at least half what I paid ::facepalm::

how do you like the kimber, is it pretty accurate? I have been thinking hard about buying one but am worried about accuracy (I have no reason to be I'm just picky about accuracy)

My Kimber has out shot all other pistols except my Smith 41 which I feel the best target .22 ever made.
I still enjoy shooting my Kimber the best because of the feel and crisp trigger.
It takes a little getting used to the light weight versus others like my 1911-22 Sig.
I think you would really love a Kimber.
I also have a Kimber pro carry ll stainless in 9 mm. Tack driver too!

I have never heard of a Kimber that was not super accurate. ::shrug::

Just sold a Sig like the one you posted yesterday at the store. How do you like it? It felt like it would be a nice pistol.

I've had a lot of good feedback on the Chiappa .22 handguns and rifles. I've not shot them but sure want to everytime I have one come through the store! ::dang::

Nice line up!
God Bless!

Hey Craig,
The Sig 1911-22 is a great shooting pistol and the feel of a .45 in your hand.
The sights are great and shoots a decent group with no problems with ammo.
The cost isn't bad for the gun and very well made, like all Sigs.

It was considered the poor man's Beretta. In fact they made a .25 as well. They really made some nice pistols in their later years.

I viewed several videos on the Chiappa .22 1911 and would not recommend this gun, several stove pipe rounds, failed extractions, plastic mag, no palm grip safety.
The sights are not what I would want for target shooting.
For the price the Sig Sauer is the best buy.

Camillus, I have a very good friend who has purchased the 1911, beretta 92 style, and ar rifle style of the Chiappa .22 line and he swears by them all.

I agree, I liked the looks of the Sig 1911-22 better, but will admit the Chiappa's looked good as well.

But, like I've said, I've never shot any of them......just sold them in my store.
God Bless!

I haven't shot any myself, but viewed them being used on UTube videos and reviews.
I would like to try one to see for myself too!
I'm going to be shooting a Colt 1911 .22 this week and will be posting feedback on how it preformed.
