What are your thoughts on it? Accuracy? I'm thinking it might make a "fun gun" plinker/traget pistol. Something oddball to shoot revolver-wise.

I decide my customized BSA Cadet needs a companion revolver. :D Interesting piece... But WHY:confused: :confused:

Being a .22 hornet nut I was excited to see those come out and waited to read about them. Well they looked good and were an interesting concept but I have to say I was dissapointed with their accuracy and that made me decide against buying one.

They articles were misleading (purposfully I believe) and while it was touted as a varmint type handgun, the accuracy wasn't compatable. When you read the articles closely you realized that the groups they were reporting weren't bad (they weren't that great) if they were shot at 100 yards but when you read the fine print they were shooting at 25 and 50 yards which was unacceptable in my book.

I have two .22 Hornet handguns that willl easily shot MOA at 100 yards, my Anschutz Exemplar in .22 Hornet will shot 1/2 MOA all day long so other than the "neatness" of it I can't see a use for it until they improve it's accuracy.

Thanks! I'll scratch that POS off the "maybe" list.

I wouldn't exactly call it a POS. I just feel they need to do some more work on it to get it to shoot better. If it shot decently, I would buy one. I am sure there arte some who like it, I just have a higher standard of accuracy.

examined one closely about a month ago. ten inch bbl and a pretty thing. muzzle heavy as all get out with a one handed hold.
as it was NIB in a gunshop, i could not shoot it.

at the price, i could not convince myself that i needed it. for a while, i was tempted. the novelty of it yunno.
