Finally ordered my 22/45!!!

[krashmania]

I know I've been talking about it for something like a year now, but I finally got around to ordering it. I ordered the 10140 model, comes with the cocobolo replaceable grips. Plan on turning it into a project gun.

So far, I'm planning on grips, and a vq trigger upgrade. Anything else you guys would recommend? Not going to have the time for a can since I'm going to be going away to school in the spring, and I didn't get the threaded anyway. I think I'll get one of the integrally suppressed uppers a few years down the road.

I love mine! But I also love the PAC-lite upper with it. It doesn't appear you're headed in that direction with the project. Good luck and have fun!

Awesome!
I love mine.
No failure to fire after 500+ rnds
Hoping that taking it apart for cleaning will be easy.

I like the PAC-lites, but I dont really plan on having it as anything more than a range toy, practice tool, so I prefer a heavy gun for target practice. If I want a light trekking gun, my 9 is already about 7 ounces lighter than the ruger

I've had my 22/45 for about a month now. I have not gotten the chance for ANY range play yet, but after reading about the difficulties of dis/reassembly, I decided that I would take it down and reassemble everyday until it is second nature.

Reality set in day 5....it was more difficulty than the first time! I figure (hope) that after I run a few hundred rounds thru her, she will loosen up! ...she reminds me of one of my ex's!

I know what you mean, I had to shoot one of my exes almost a dozen times before she shut up.

Congrats!! You will love it. I purchased mine from a member here and it's been an amazing shooter. READ THE MANUAL when it's time to disassemble/reassemble. Follow the EXACT instructions and you'll be fine.

 

[Speed3]

Awesome, I just picked this up, haven't shot it yet.

 

[MPDickerson101]

Nice SPEED3! My GF wants one for us to shoot together (Jedi mind trick). I'll probably shoot it more than her though Just waiting for Maryland gun shops to start selling them (MD-roster approval). How does she shot? I held one 2 weeks ago.....felt nice!

I almost got the lite, but I just found this one at such a steal, I couldn't say no: $269, shipped.

I hope I'm up in the "k's" pretty soon. I dont see my other toys getting much attention for awhile...

 

[El_flasko]

You will love it! They are great little shooters.

First order of business, magazines. At least 2 extra. Anyone know a place where they're pretty cheap?

MidwayUSA had a sale that ended 06/30 for $16.99+s/h. There regular price is $18.99 and are currently on b/o. I have not seen them any lower. The last Dulles gun show, they were $22.

If you find them cheaper, please let us know.

I have been eying that up. When they start doing the distributor exclusives in alternative finishes I will be all over one

yeah, that finish is one of the reasons I didn't get that one.

Price too, though.

[Bwhite]
