Shot a few rounds after reinstalling the stock recoil spring. Did t have any problems. Top target is 5 yds and bottom is 10 yds. Shot at a pretty fast pace. Afterwards, I cleaned it and broke out the BW to carry for a while.

Camo,
I seem to always gravitate back to packing the BW.

I feel quite confident in the 22 magnum for self defense.

I agree top dog about the BW. I'm even satisfied with the .22LR. I have the magnum cylinder, but never have shot a magnum round thru it.

Camo,
If you have a chance,fire a ferw magnum rounds through it. You will see that it is quite accurate with the magnum ammo.

I shoot a few magnum rounds through by BUG just for S&G.  It's fun and pretty accurate as Top says.

Copfish,
If they made machine rest inserts for the minis,I bet that the accuracy would be very good.

True self defense distances are less than ten feet with the vast majority being much less than that.

I still got 2 boxes of older American Eagle ammo. I tried shooting it again in the lcp, and it just does not like it. It has shot auto match, blazers, cci and even a couple boxes of dirty old thunderbolts with 0 malfunctions, not counting the short time I changed recoil springs. But for what ever reason, it has problems with the American eagle ammo. I know it's as simple as not shooting American eagle ammo, but it's the first .22 I've ever had that wouldn't shoot anything I loaded in them. It's not the ammo, it shoots ok in my other .22's.

Camo,
It could be that the batch of American Eagle ammo is a bad batch?? Just my thoughts.

Glad to hear that the oiece functions well with all the other ammo.

Camo,
The cardiologist said that I should not shovel snow or climb any hills.
I should have remembered that when during last snow storm I shoveled my walk and driveway as well as two of my neighbors.

And yeah,I climb hills each week on my weekly squirrel/coyote hunts.

I am back 100%,not going to let a little thing like a heart attack and partial foot amputation stop me.

The outdoor range is now on limited winter schedule but will be in full operation around Easter so I will go there twice a week.

Yeah,the Grim Reaper needs some time to tune a person up,then you are back on your way.

Hopefully you can get in some more trigger time with your gear.

Hoping to shoot a few rounds thru the LCP ll .22 this afternoon. It?s got me puzzled. Never any problems with fed auto match. No problems with some old wildcats. Shot some older cci a while back and no problems. Now, cci hv is giving me problems. cci  sv cycling with no problems. Just enough to keep me uneasy. I keep it clean. Now I don?t fully trust it.  Maybe that?s why I keep going back to my B/W.

Shot over 20 rounds this afternoon. All cci standard velocity with no problems. Shot the sv since that's what I shot last with no issues. No pictures but at 5 yards, I was all over the target. Just couldn't settle down. Didn't clean, gonna shoot it and B/W tomorrow. I'm just surprised it's cycling the sv without any problems.

My understanding is that a aftermarket spring kit will fix that:

I won't carry a laser device... unless it has stun, kill, and disintegrate settings.

I think with the fed auto match, I've had one dud. Never a problem with it. Some older American Eagle it hated. I replaced the recoil spring a while back. It was from Galloway. Had problems so put stock spring back. Looks like it just prefers the auto match and surprisingly, the cci standard velocity. Guess I better not complain to much with the auto match being one of the cheapest ammo.

Camo,
As you know,22 autos can be very ammo finicky.

I have one of the early Walther P-22s and it only functioned well with CCI high velocity ammo. Anything else,forget it!

I out a TAC-65 can on it...........and it functioned perfectly with standard velocity ammo.

I picked a .22 LCP recently. Purchased a few different kinds of .22 to try out.

I'll update my results when I do.

It's getting expensive to go shooting around here. It's like $25 to rent a stall at my outdoor range.

The closest free place is about an hour away. It free but to get there and back will probably cost me $18. So now I only get to go 2-3 times a year.

Looking forward to seeing your results. Glad I can just walk outside and shoot anytime I take a notion to.

Was going to shoot a few rounds this afternoon while it was cloudy. Bout time I got target stuck in the ground and all loaded, it started to rain. So now maybe tomorrow. It's been to hot to enjoy shooting here lately. Even in the shade.

Camo,
I hope that the weather clears and it is a bit cooler so you can get in some trigger time soon.

We just had heavy rain this morning but now clearing,hopefully it will cool down a bit.  It has been so hot and humid lately that it felt as if you were in a suana.

Finally shot the LCP .22 some today. Even got fancy and stuck up a paper target. Right target is 5 rounds at 5 yds. And left target 5 rounds at 7 yds. Shot several more rounds at different things, like pine cones and such.

That was my 1st ten shots. It usually takes shooting it some before I group like that. I was even hitting most pine cones. Don't know what it was. Now next time might do good to hit the target. I haven't carried it in a good while. Don't ask me why, but for whatever reason I keep carrying my B/W. And now for the last week, carrying the sheriff. I'm liking the sheriff also.

It was custom made, from our own design by Kell, a custom knife maker in our local area.

PS: The Scarab is a clone. Nearly as tough but far less expensive.

Even with the clone,still a nice set up.  The Micro-Tech knives are a bit pricey for sure.

Thank you. Watched a video with somebody testing the clone with the real thing. The real thing barely outlasted the clone. In our opinion, for an EDC carry/fighting knife, why would we wish to pay that much money for something we are going to quite possibly abuse when we can carry something just as good for 10% of the price. Will not care too much if we lose it etc.

More importantly, we believe Micro Tech charges way too much for their knives. We do not mind paying for things but we believe in paying fair prices for something and Micro Tech does not qualify and hence we do not purchase their products.

Rogue,
I agree with your thinking.

Templar Knives (Texas) makes some very nice OTF autos and at pretty fair prices.

Looking at the NAA minis,some folks may think that for their size they are over priced.

In reality,not really,in my opinion they are built like fine Swiss watches and have superb customer service.

I must confess,that accidentally my little 22lr mini wound up in the washing maching (not the drier fortunately) and was pretty much none the worse for wear.

A little clean up and waxed the grips and all was fine.
