Oh, Brother !!

I don't like disassembling firearms. Some are easier than others, I still don't like it.
One can only hope a respectable gunsmith can be found who knows how to re-assemble it correctly.
With those old guns ... I said it b4, it shouldn't be the #1 shooter. There are plenty offerings for quality pistols in .22lr.
Target versions for example that I would rust to be very accurate. Rimfire target shooting is very popular.

Well, the brother does what the brother does. :geek:

The Walther is a nice firearm. I handled a 9mm version. I was looking for a 9mm under $500. I handled a Glock, Walther, Stoeger and others, that I don't remember. The Walther and Storger were very close, as far as a smooth trigger. The Storger's trigger was slightly smoother. It could hold more ammo and came optic ready. Even though it costed about $25 more, it seemed like a better buy. Yet, the slide on the Walther seemed lighter. So much so, I took my wife to the shop, to give it a try. She seemed to like my Stoeger, but the slide is a little to stiff for her. The slide on the Walther was more than she wanted to deal with as well. So, she is thinking about another revolver.
I was halfway joking when I mentioned the Walther P22. It was on sale at Turner's this weekend for 229 bucks. I had to feel it and it is amazing! Tiny pistol built into detail. It's meant to be a training pistol. I was thinking and couldn't come up with a particular reason to own one. Magazines cost 40 bucks though, I see one used for 200 at a Turner's store w/ 2 mags. I don't know how many mags come with it in the new package.

Browning has a nice selection of Buckmarks. One of them comes with a 4" barrel. Very cool. 500 bucks plus CA rip off fees & taxes.

I found out that my older 72 year old brother doesn’t listen to me, or doesn’t heed what I say. He asked me about doing a total breakdown and cleaning of the Woodsman. I told him NOT TO DO IT because it’s a very difficult process. I had researched it way back when and I saw that it was very hard to do.

Well you guessed it. He broke it down and when he put it back together the trigger didn’t work. Go figure. You know sometimes your little brother does know what he’s talking about!

Now he gets to pay a gunsmith to get it working again.

I love my brother but sometimes he pisses me off…

Again, what’s done is done!
😆 Well, maybe, one day?
