Hopefully will get the Walther to the range to see how it goes. 1K rounds of CCI mini mag showed up on the doorstep yesterday. How nice...
I have a 1970's Browning Challenger...very nice pistol, but it was made in Belgium.

NOT inexpensive, but SigArms makes (or made?) a line of .22 pistols known as "Trailside".
Actually made by Hammerli (sp?) a well known target gun manufacturer.

I quote from an April 2000 American Rifleman article on the Trailside...shots
made from a ransom rest, 25 yards:

"I recall watching the group develop through a spotting scope. The group did not widen until the seventh shot and it was never anything but one hole"....

My point here? Like my Browning, the Swiss made Trailside is a .22 pistol one could keep for a lifetime with no desire to buy anything else.
