Hi all,
I'm in the market for a .22 pistol and I've done some research and some looking but would appreciate any and all advice on what to buy.
Here are some of my criteria:
1.) I want an autoloader - nothing against a revolver, I'll probably have one eventually but I just like a pistol.
2.) Reliable (relatively troublefree)
3.) Accurate (although I will concede most pistols will be more accurate than me)
4.) Conventional control set.
5.) An external hammer would be nice.
I've looked at the Rugers and Buckmarks and lean towards the Buckmark because the Rugers just do not appeal to me in look and feel. The only shortcoming is not having an external hammer.
I saw the CZ Kadet in their catalog and it meets all my criteria but I have not held or shot one. (a friend has an IMI Jericho that has a similar feel to the CZ-75, I've shot that and like it well enough)
The CZ75 with a Kadet conversion is very appealing because I get two guns for the price of one and one half . Is the CZ75's hammer functional when the conversion is used? I saw a picture and was unclear on this question.
Others up for consideration; a Trailside or a S&W M41 (pricy but I am willing to spend for quality)
I currently have a SIG P228 that I like a lot, I've shot the Jericho and like it as the "hunk o' steel" type and shot a CZ 97 that was pretty nice.
Thanks for all opinions and advice.
