[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1433747, member: 796"] Bought 2 PT22s several years ago. One made 2 trips back for broken barrel pins before they finally replaced a warped barrel. Have shot the repaired gun a lot just plinking and snakes, rats. The other gun had no problems but mostly just sits in the box; probably should just sell it, I suppose. It is not reliable with all ammunition, but is OK with greasy plain lead bullets. Accuracy is poor beyond spitting distance due to crude sights and shallow rifling. A real fun gun to practice point shooting for cheap. I thought it might be a good gun for beginners, but it is too easy to get the off hand in front of the short barrel. I don't think much of it as a defense gun for anything larger than a coon because of .22 failing to seriously discourage an agressive stray dog that put me on top of some equipment. After several solid hits, he bled out. Now I carry a .380 as minimum for a barn walk. I still carry the PT22 for field walks just to plink with, but you can bet I also have something else with me. More than you ever wanted to know, maybe...... [/QUOTE]
