Title: New "Colt" For The Stable
Post by: twyacht on May 07, 2011, 05:20:47 PM
Been wanting a .22LR pistol for a while. Was really getting an itch for a Ruger or my friends Colt. Well, lucky day!!!! This 1994 Colt .22 has been a safe queen since new.

Box, Manual, 2 mags. and it reminds me of something out of Star Wars. ;).. The grip is as natural as almost any other pistol I have held.

I ran a quick 50 rds. through it, at a cardboard box and it never even blinked.  Trigger is kinda scary light, and paid $300 for it.

(Friends discount),..... ;)  Took these pics with my Blackberry, so sorry for the pic quality.

Very nice Twyacht. I have a Beretta Neos that I believe is the same internally abeit with poly lower and a different bbl attachment. Its been very reliable for me.  I think the Star Wars factor was one reason it didnt do better when initially introduced, but I like the futuristic lines.

Nice looking TW. Looks like you got a great deal.  A quick check and I think this is about the cheapest one I found on GB.  Looks like the seller might be a relative of HAZ.
