My nephew's fundraiser for his football team was raffle tickets, and the grand prize was $1000 to a local gun shop... and we won!
so I grabbed that .17 for me and a pink/purple ruger 10-22, I was able to put nice scopes on both of them and buy some ammo... was a VERY nice prize!
the .17 is dead nuts accurate out to 200 yds (thats as far as we have shot it, it's prettty cold here)
and yes, a tiny pellet flying down range at 3000fps is very cool!
not trying to hi-jack Hemp's thread... I do LOVE my Springfield pistol too!
I've had a Springfield P9 (9mm) for years!
has the competition trigger and the magnum porting.. a true "shooters gun"
enjoy that pistol Hemps... the are great quality guns
