Anybody have one of these? They are a swing out cylinder 9 shot ,22 pistol. I have had this gun for years, my daddy gave it to me when I was a teenager. He bought it off of a feller that he had dog traded with for something like $75 back in the 80's.
Now neither daddy nor I were pistol guys, and could not hit the broad side of a barn with it, I saw another man shoot it once and man was it a tack driver, but daddy and I could only shoot minute of barn with the little revolver.
Fast forward to yesterday. I just got my new smith and have been practicing and reading about pistol shooting so I decided to give the .22 another try. I found that it shoot pretty high. If you take a real fine sight, and set the target on top of the sight it is a sho nuff track driver!
These are really neat little guns, and if you run across one I highly suggest you pick one up. They are fun, cheap plinking and not too shabby as a walking around varmint pistol either.
