Aluk,

good to know you've been looking for a Beretta m 71 Jaguar (or steel frame model 70s)--if you find one, i'm certain you will really like it.

unfortunately, due to the internet and YouTube, in the past 10 years they have been "discovered", and subsequently, the prices have gotten to be very high. they are amazing pistols.

i have a fair amount of experience with the Walther PPK/S in .380 auto, but none in the .22 RF persuasion. with the substantial steel frame and slide, it will likely be a good rig to utilize...hope you will let us know how that works for you.

i can dig the plastic frames for their numerous benefits--especially carry, but the conservative in me has almost always favored steel framed rigs for their beauty in construction, and substance. they're great for range time.

all learning is like a funnel:
however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end.
the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...
