Hawaii really cant have a 22lr charger?

Soon to own a walther p22. I use to have a sr22 22lr pistol. Really regret selling it.

Let's see... The very first semi auto I handled was a sw 5906. Never shot it cause I handled it when I was about 5- 8 years old in my parent's living room.

The very first gun I shot was a mark 3 ruger, then Beretta 92fs, then g17 gen 2, and finally a p226. That's when I fell in love with a p226. My very first gun I bought was a p2022 in 357 sig then immediately 3x p226 (diff models) and then a p229 was gen 2. All p series ended up being 9mm.

The only reason i bought a p22 now is cause of ammo prices and 3 coworkers, all females, along with their husband's wanna try shooting so I figured it will be a good way to start.

Never owned, inherited, purchased a dedicated .22lr pistol. I bought a .22lr conversion kit for my Glock19, worked like a charm after 300-round break in period of Mini Mags (back when it was $0.09/rd). It greatly improved my fundamentals.

.22 pistol purchase wish list includes a Ruger LCR or LCRx and a matching pair of Ruger Wranglers.

Oh crap!!! This thread and the 22lr BA thread is really gonna run me broke,  :D :D :D I don't have as many 22lr pistols nor rifles as I'd like to. That may change shortly though.

Ah, mah bad. But, just know that I’ve dropped dollahs on various gun interests along the way. Just not 22, yet… tho I gotta admit y’all are pulling me to the “22 dark side”  ;D

I have two .22LR pistols.  One is a SA Western Marshall made by Hawes.  I acquired it in 1979 and bought it at Honsport that used to be in the Pearlridge Shopping Center.  The other one is a Walther P22 that I just acquired recently.  Bought this one at Young Guns in Mapunapuna.

The cowboy pistol was my first actual "cartridge" type pistol that I learned to shoot, other than a Crossman air pump pistol I had as a kid.

None of my firearms have any special family history or meaning.  They are special to me only because I own them and they are mine.

I would be open to picking up a Ruger LCR in .22 LR if I had a chance.  The LCR and cowboy gun can shoot all the cheap shit .22's while I reserve the more quality high velocity .22's for the slightly finicky Walther P22.

Oh man Honsport, I used to dream about owning a Benjamin .177 that they had.

I bought a ruger mk1 from JS sales on Young st. around 42 years ago.
(That's the place where Mark David Chapman bought his John Lennon gun)
Les Martin mounted a Bushnell Phantom 1.3x on it.

I also got a SW 422 for teaching purposes. It's lightweight and easy to operate.

You guys also can’t have the binary trigger that is the real subject of that video. He already did a part one ultimate PC Charger build. But this video is part 2 because he put a binary trigger on it.

I almost always bring either the Single Ten or the Mark IV Hunter, along with a centerfire firearm when I go to silhouette side, which is where I go most times.  especially with the ammo being expensive, if you can find it, I'm shooting more 22LR recently.
the Single Six comes with iron sights, the Single Ten comes with FO sights

Wow, these Ruger .22 SA revolvers are beautiful! :thumbsup:  Shit, now I want to own these too! ;D

My Hawes SA .22 six shooter is a cheap replica of the Western Marshall, but it's really fun to shoot.  Only bummer thing is the finish bluing is all messed up.  My fault.  I didn't take care of it well.  Or maybe it would've ended up that way due to it was a cheap firearm.

.22's are fun to shoot.  Hope it continues to be a cheap alternative but nowadays I dunno........prior to the pandemic I could buy a brick of 500 for $28 but now that same brick is $60 or more.  :grrr:

I have never shot a Single 10 nor even held one. I assume it is similar to a single 6?
