Why'd you shoot Kermit?

Love the 41 too Ed. Smooth like butter and very accurate.

One day I'll get an LR version to pair with the 41-1.




Couple of Walther's here. The "pre-41"

One short, one long.



[quote=EdM]A Smith 41 is hard to beat.

Which one would be more fun and less hassle.
-A good .22 auto loader with a threaded muzzle for a suppressor and the means to mount an optic.
-I had a 22/45 MKIII UL with several mods and really liked it. I gave it to my youngest son. He already hd a MKI and really likes the 22/45.
-i replaced it with a TX-22 with their Competition conversion kit. i love the 20 round mags and it is very easy to clean or swap out parts.
-For a lightweight plinker I have an Advantage Arms Glock 26/27 conversion, that or any number of newer .22LR semis are fun.

Which is more of a pain to clean?
-The autoloaders are easier to clean than a revolver.

Which is more fun?
-For sage rat hunting or other volume shooting the autoloder.
-I don't think ther rimfire kit gun revolvers like the 651, 63, Taurus 94, Charter Pathfinder, Rossi 511, etc can be beat for woods bumming as they are so adaptable.

What would you prefer if you could only have one?
-My Smith and Wesson 651 .22WMR is my favorite rimfire handgun. Nothing else comes close.

I've got both and I love them. For target competition, a good auto is much more accurate than a Revolver. I have a Model 617 and it is a very nice revolver, I also have a Browning Buckmark. it is my favorite semi auto and much easier to field strip and detail strip than the nightmare Rugers.
