[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1018940, member: 7815"] There is also the Bersa/Firestorm .22. Hard to find but desirable pistols. Same frame as the Bersa Thunder .380, which are very popular, and are basically an Argentinian PPK knockoff with a few differences. I've shot a .380 Thunder on several occasions and they are solid, useful guns. The triggers are good. I can't remember how hard it was to rack the slide -- it's a blowback pistol, of course. I think the .22 version would be [I]sweet[/I] as a "kit gun", for plinking, or for introducing new shooters to the art. Load it up with CCI Stingers and you might have a "bare minimum recoil" defense pistol. It is just that the Firestorm .22s are really hard to find. They must not make many of them. Spare magazines are also scarce. Couple of links: [url]http://www.gunblast.com/Firestorm.htm[/url] [url]http://www.bersafirearmsusa.com/images/pistols/fs22.jpg[/url] [/QUOTE]
