I like the rail under the barrel.

An afternoon with a good .22, shooting targets or tin cans is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.

If he/she bought it when they first came out it did have some teething issues that have since been fixed. However they discovered that with some one of the rear rails gets slightly bent during the manufacturing process and can cause the slide to stick in the open position after firing a round. They will fix or replace it for free unless it was bought used.

Why are you poo pooing that gun? Ever held or even shot one? Like most people that shit on something they only heard about, most likely that's the case.

He's probably going to go out and kill Grizzly bears with it..........

His had a feed issue but after 5 or 6 rounds it has been good using CCI. At such a low price maybe it's to be expected to have some issues.

The .22 kills more than any other round.

'More people have been killed with the .22 than any...

This statement used to come up a lot, particularly referencing the lethality, and therefore suitability, of the .22 Long Rifle as a self-defense or caliber of last choice for self-defense. On the surface, it doesn't appear to make sense; however, it has been repeated frequently so maybe there's...

Yes----a 22 rifle at a target----of colorful concentric
rings-----I missed------but I have seen the Xrays----
even a 22 caliber bullet CAN GET INTO THE BRAIN---
not often ----but sometimes

Typically these eat everything they are fed though Kel-Tec recommends high velocity rounds.

So can a hammer, a screwdriver, or a rock.

Especially in WMR, it's deadly.

BTW, when I said the grip was pretty good I meant it's not great but could be worse. If the grip was any wider it would be boxy like a Glock and I'd have regretted buying it.
