Marlin recently resumed production of their bolt action 22, XT-22. I had been looking for one, but when I couldn’t find one thought it was dead since it would compete w/ Ruger’s bolt action 22. Since the XT-22’s back in production, maybe they’ll resume the Model 60 as well.

Then I just won't send them the old camera back. I'm trying to do the decent thing here.

Then they'll prob bill you again. :devil:

I put my money on a Ruger 22/45. The suppressor is a SilencerCo Spectre 2, but it was discontinued. Now the Ruger has a SilencerCo Sparrow on. All hi-velocity 22 LR ammo comes out of the short barrel at subsonic velocities. In my gun, subsonic ammo is a little more quiet the hi-velocity ammo. My Ruger is fed CCI Subsonic HP's. Keep us updated.

The demise of the PAC 10 /12 is a national tragedy. Still shocking that happened. One of the great institutions in American sports with a legacy more than a century old just collapsed almost overnight.

I grew up in OR when it was the Pac 8. Later became the Pac 10 when they added the two AZ colleges. The travel was convenient when it was the Pac 8. There were 2 schools in WA (Wash State and UW), two in OR (OSU and Univ of OR), 2 in northern CA (Berkley and Stanford) and 2 in southern CA (UCLA and USC).

How does it shoot?? Unless you're just going to look at it and not use it, you might want to see how it shoots before putting time and money into it. Through the years, there's been a lot of variability in the accuracy of Mini-14s.

I thought about getting the wife one. They call it a wallet gun, thin and light.
There's a gun shop down the road that sells them. For the price and ease of conceal makes a great conceal and carry.

Pocket 380's are indeed very light and small (there's a reason they're called "pocket 380's"). My Kahr CW380 fits in the pocket of all my pants. OTOH, because they're so light and small, pocket 380's have very "snappy" recoil. I've known even experienced shooters who don't like to shoot a pocket 380. Because they are so snappy, they're sometimes not a good choice for an inexperienced shooter, including many women. Be sure and handle and shoot a gun before encouraging it for your wife. It frequently doesn't turn out well when a husband buys a gun for his wife. A wife who's not experienced in guns will usually want the husbands input, assuming he's experienced w/ guns. Give sage advice and input, but it usually works out best if it's still "her" purchase. :bow:

By all accounts, the Rohrbaugh was a really fine pocket 9mm. Unfortunately, finding one is like the search for the "Holy Grail." :lol: Remington made a knock off for a little while, but it never really got any traction in the market and was quickly discontinued. I think the best available pocket 9mm is the Kahr CM9. The PM 9 is good also, but a little more expensive. I really like my CM9, but don't carry it as much as I used to. For me, it'll fit ok in slacks, but not jeans. The only gun I can cc in the waist pockets of jeans is my Kahr CW380. CM9 (top) compared to Key-Tec P3AT (bottom).

ETA: Although I have a Kimber Micro 9, I don't feel comfortable using it (or similar mini 1911's) for pocket carry. It has more "things" (external hammer, beavertail grip and external safety) to potentially snag on the draw. I think 1911's should be carried cocked and locked. Unfortunately, when carried in a pocket, that exposes the internals to lint usually found in pockets.

Yeah, his funniest work, "The Man Show," would be culturally cancelled in the times we're living with. :lol:
