Well I agree with you when it comes to "service" guns. You guys make pretty good, sturdy guns. I am myself a S&W fan.
But, when it comes to the kind of targetshooting I am talking about, I am affraid these guns just donīt cut it.
I shoot a 422 S&W in the 22.cal group and I make pretty nice score with it. I hate the thumb-rests and special made handles, as well as putting weight and adjust triggers to the extreme. And I can do just as nice with the K22 as any of the guys do with the Pistols, during quickshooting.
But yet, nothing is more straight shooting then the SIG 210/6 with the 7.65, handloads. If you get the opertunity, try one, youd be suprised.
And I also agree on USA making the very best .44/.45, magnum guns. But if i had a free choice, I take a mahurin for the cal. 38.
To be really honest, its not really the gun that make the result, its who shoots it.
And, it was a long time ago, that I stoped paying for my Ammo
