You know, I hate to point this out, but considering the "vig" applied to the latest .22LR semi-auto handguns, one is forced periodically to "step back and re-evaluate."
While perusing the California DOJ list of "approved handguns" for sale I discovered the Phoenix Arms model HP-22A which is a zinc alloy with steel insert (just like all the HIGH dollar .22's these days) 20 oz., 3" barrel, 10 shot .22LR auto with an online price as low as $111. So then I went to "the reviews" on YouTube and discovered these "cheap" guns have an amazing reliability rate out of the box...for just over a hundred bucks!
Of course here in the PRK we won't find it for that, but it can still be had for under $200 "out the door" which ain't bad for a pocket pistol .22LR than has more positive reviews on YouTube than all the "name brands"!!!
