OK, I got my gun off layaway and have taken it to the range two times. The first time I bought two boxes of ammo from the range made in the USA, had all kinds of problems. The spent shell would not eject, was stuck in barrel. The slide would not lock open after the last bullet had been shot. I then shot ammo from the Philippines and the gun ran  flawlessly. It is very accurate right out of the box at 30 yards, I could not be happier with this gun. The ammo from the Philippines cost me $2.00 more a box but is well worth it. I have recommended it to my friends. ;D

The only functionality any of my guns have is to put a smile on my face. I like guns that you won't find in most gun shops. My collection includes a Coonan .357 semi auto, Colt Mark 3 and 5 revolvers that are 95% or better, Dan Wesson revolvers that I can change barrel sizes, 3 0f the 6 S&W 10xx series 10mm, many different makes of 10mm and others. Not bragging, just explaining my collection. One day after I am gone the person I leave my guns to will open the safe and have a couple of surprises. Until then my wife and I go to the range about every weekend. We take a "fun" gun (.357, .44 magnum, .45 long colt, etc) and always shoot our carry guns last. As far as ammo goes for the 22tcm, I will buy it when it's available. I feel confident Armscor will support the 22tcm since they RIA are the same company. There you have it folks, that's my 2 cents worth.

I rented one at my local range this morning, dang it was fun to shoot and very accurate. That's strange for a range gun. It just happened that they had a model 51687 in stock so I had to put it on layaway. Really hate when that happens. The only practical use I have for it is messing around in the woods, would really hate to run across a snake.    :'(

I'm going to keep it at the top of my list, if it works half as good as they claim it will still be fun to shoot!

Thanks, how old was your gun? Do you think the craftmanship has improved any?

This looks like an interesting gun, shoots .22tcm and some come with 9mm barrel. I don't really care about the 9mm, have enough of those. It has a nice fire ball at night, 2000fps from a 5" barrel. The price won't break the bank, see them on GB for under $700.00. Ammo is around $20.00/50 rounds. After I get my Springfield 1911 TRP 10mm off layaway will take a serious look at this one. Does anybody have experience with .22tcm? The reviews I have seen a very positive. Thanks for any feedback!

Factory 10mm ammo / Precision One ammo

Has anybody tried their 10mm "Hogzilla Load" load for 10mm long slide? I have a Dan Wesson Bruin and a Remington R1 both 6", shot the Sig Sauer Elite Performance 180 grain FMJ and it ran flawlessly through both guns. Have had trouble with other ammo only in the 6" guns. I can't find the Sig ammo at a reasonable price and I live about an hour from Precision One and can pick it up from their factory. Just wondering if there was someone that has shot it before. I'm not in a position to reload my own, have used Double Tap and Buffalo Bore and they work great, just looking for something that won't break the bank. Thanks for any and all help!

Handguns / Sig P320C

OMG, bought one last weekend and love it. Straight on right out of the box! Very smooth 9mm, I think it is a winner all the way around! :))

I have been reading this forum for about a year and have learned a lot about 10mms. I've stated collecting them and it is now my caliber of choice. I have polymer and steel, revolvers and semi autos and love them all. Each gun has it's own personality if you will that makes them all fun to shoot. The hard to find guns are the best challenge and that keeps it interesting. When I figure out how to do it I will post a picture of my 10mm family.
