WOW! Just WOW! First of all I CAN NOT say enough about Bud's... and anyone who has done business with them knows, they are thee best! This was my first firearm purchase, and I made a mistake on the order I placed, (stupid Cali-legal) and I was worried that I had screwed up royally, but Bud's contacted me very quickly and fixed my mistake easily and immediately. The order went on through and processed like nothing had happened... Thank you Buds. Now, on to the gun it's self... WOW again! It's a great little gun, dead to nuts accurate right outta the box, easy to use, no jams, no ammo issues, and the field strip and reassembly is not quite as hard as some have made it out to be. I love the finish I chose, and even though my husband loves his 9mm, and his shotty, he got a kick outta this P22, and got plenty of trigger time in - 450 rounds on day one! Over all I feel that this was thee best choice I could have made for being a first time buyer for two reasons; 1. I went trough Buds (local dealer wanted $470 for the exact same gun/finish) got a great deal and excellent customer support; 2. I did my research and picked a handgun that is well made, wonderfully fun, and perfect for me!
