The Sig Mosquito I'd not recommend, for reasons posted on before. The Sig Trailside is wonderfully accurate, no idea what they're going for now, but magazines are damn expensive. S&W and Beretta both have .22 semi-autos, but I have no experience with them.<br /><br />If you ran across an old High Standard, like the Sport King, they're nice, but availability is 'if you find one'.<br /><br />Think I'll post the question, ".22 pistols, what do you recommend?" and see what people say.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-45700097139382074722009-10-01T20:24:02.705-07:002009-10-01T20:24:02.705-07:00Re: .22 pistols and conversions.

A bot picky about what it likes, the el-cheapo Remington Vipers function it well but are not the most accurate. CCI Blazers smokestack half the time but are more accurate. This thing is fun personified, but it's feed and function idiosyncrasies compounded with a trigger that would have to improve 50% to be rotten, I need a decent self loading pistol. As I'm not rolling in dough and haven't kept up on .22 self loaders since the late 60's, any ideas?<br /><br />Gerry N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-12481408855569030092009-10-01T13:10:59.312-07:002009-10-01T13:10:59.312-07:00I just starting casting loads for 380 and so far t...I just starting casting loads for 380 and so far they are working out really well. I'm using a Lee SWC mold that actually feeds really well - shoots great too.<br /><br />I managed to check Midway.com during the 5 minute span* they had small pistol primers in stock and managed to snag a bunch. Coupled with casting my own bullets I can practice shooting my mousegun to my heart's content. <br /><br /><br />*I'm not joking about the 5 minute deal. I saw they were in stock, immediately put in an order and after my order was complete I went and checked and *poof* all gone.Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289639279717534292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-25933175243519462052009-10-01T10:52:51.448-07:002009-10-01T10:52:51.448-07:00I hope she gets better soon, bless her heart. She...I hope she gets better soon, bless her heart. She'll probably drink more since she got the shot....and that's okay. Nothing to worry about. And a head's up for down the road stuff....if ever she has an x-ray done and they tell you her liver is enlarged a bit....that can be from the cortisone injections...steroid injections can do that in dogs.<br /><br />You name it, at least one of my dogs have had it or gone through it...I know the drill all too well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-57862944028166876642009-10-01T09:44:02.838-07:002009-10-01T09:44:02.838-07:00No luck on McMaster-Carr, all their stuff is for l...No luck on McMaster-Carr, all their stuff is for larger lathes. But lots of good stuff there, thanks for the tip.<br /><br />Fire, she was a bit. That, combined with the nose & eyes, made them figure allergy, and the only new thing around her was the food. So...<br />But I'll keep what you suggest in mind.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-27679266879213447892009-10-01T09:11:28.798-07:002009-10-01T09:11:28.798-07:00Was Security licking and biting at her paws during...Was Security licking and biting at her paws during the switch to the new food? Usually, a reaction to diet change would be itching, excessive licking and biting at the paws, stomach problems, etc....are the Vets certain this was the cause? Either way, the shot will help her, and that's a good thing. Sounds to me like an allergic reaction due to weather, possibly a bite of some kind.<br /><br />If it continues....or if it comes back, try benedryl for her. Give it a day or two. If that doesn't help, then check with the vet again.<br /><br />I know she's used to being outside, but the funny thing is allergies can show up at any given time, even if she hasn't been allergic to something before.<br /><br />Give my best to Miss Security.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-39321401166256248892009-09-30T21:20:34.645-07:002009-09-30T21:20:34.645-07:00Try a McMaster-Carr catalog.Try a McMaster-Carr catalog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
