    C'mon Dr T - I solemnly swear it was a Catholic thing!

    We boys were not allowed to see such devices. True story - The only mechanics discussed in 5th grade was Abstain!

    I wanted a plain one, that way when I get it cerakoted the lettering wouldn't get covered over. I already have a laser on the way for it...and this is just the beginning haha.
    I hear this ended with an evil laugh.

    Have you considered the virtues of a nice tiger-stripe cerakote job?

    Imagine the zebra print grips in the first image paired with the eye of the tiger in the second (google couldn't find it on a hi-point so guaranteed to be one of a kind).

    I'm thinking retina-burning neon pink would be the most obnoxious...still leaning as the winner. I guess we'll see where it goes haha.

    A friend and former member here said he would buy a Yeet Cannon if he was ever able to get a MD W&C permit. The day came last year. Here is his "UpGraded" Yeet Cannon....

    I'm not sure I can compete with such a monstrosity...but I want mine to be tasteful, yet obnoxious.

    The Monsignor tried hard to keep me from straying to public school, but in 9th grade I was FREE - well, sort of.
    I did 12 yrs of hard time too. And mine was an all boys school. :sad20:
    I think I managed to get suspended at least once a year for either smoking, fighting or skipping classes.

    Fast forward to 1985 and I was guest speaker and called a role model. :lol:

    Well, laser is on and I gave it a rough bore sight. We hit the range Sunday morning for a 150-250 round or so break in and actual fine tuned zero. Group pictures to be posted when that takes place... ;)

    I've had luck getting almost every single one of the Ring Of Fire guns to run reliably; so this one should be a slam dunk. My junky Jimenez JA-22 is about 100% reliable with Rem Golden Bullets...after about 1000 rounds I can confidently say that. Phoenix HP22A same thing after around 1300 rounds or so, eats absolutely everything though...that sucker does great little 20yd offhand groups.
    Recommend not shooting CCI Stingers in the HP22. I had one blow up in my hand about 20yrs ago with that ammo. Slide fractured, fortunately I wasn’t injured.

    I don't shoot Stingers in anything, honestly. I don't like the high cost of them, and they have given me consistently poor groups in most of all my 22s I've ever tried them in. I do shoot plenty "High Velocity" in the HP22A, but never hyper velocity. The manual states standard only, but the high velocity doesn't seem to make too big a difference if it's decent stuff. If the frame blows or the slide cracks, I just take it as part of the gun's story and retire it (for frame crack), or replace parts as needed (the rest).
