Rock Island XT22

[rawhide]

My newest .22, a RIA 1911. Only about 400 rounds through it but like it a lot so far.

I've run CCI minimags, Remington Golden Bullets, Winchester Hi-Velocity & Blazer bulk pack. One Blazer hung up on feed ramp, some GBs failed to fire (normal), Winchester didn't want to feed but gun was pretty dirty. Talked to someone at RI on Wednesday to order extra mags - he recommended the minimags or anything not soft lead. Remington Golden Bullets are also recommended because of the bullet. Good thing for me because GBs are my least favorite and I have a few thousand of them. I'm very pleased with accuracy.

Man all the GSG's and now this lil beauty, my BuckMark is feeling like and ugly duckling. Thinking one more .22 pistol can't be a bad thing can it?

My Buckmark is one of my favorites but it is definately neglected these days. You can't have too many .22s - been eyeballing the Savage FV SR posted earlier on here.

Extra mags for the XT arrived today so I had to test them with some Rem GBs and 100 Stingers. It loves the Stingers.
