[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1258693, member: 11766"] one of my less enlightend kin insists on the P22. Now, the little Walther is a cheap date and loads of fun... but this one fails to feed or eject 4 or 5 shots of 50. Bad hands and dislike of recoil fueled this persons choice pistol for a CCW. They did not touch this gun for nearly a year... a change in circumstances soliticted a refresher from me... to touch over all aspects of use regarding this little .22 I found out this person had never loaded the mags for this gun (even at a CCW class... the instructor did it to keep things moving along) We spent several minutes covering the mechanical safety.... "forward or "up" to fire is obviously a baffling concept. Muzzle awarness... after I got "swept" the 6th time or so....lesson over. I did not offer to go out and let this person get some trigger time... they ingnored or could not absorb the basics. Would I carry a .22? Yea... but I can land several shots to CM if the gun works... and I have tested the gun and ammo enough to be confident it will work. I guess some folks are OK with the illusion that "having a gun" is all it takes to live through a bad scene. [/QUOTE]
