Cheap 22 Short?

[kamlooky]

I was just going to mention some in CT in Merritt.
Did a pitt stawp thru their store and was pretty amazed by what they had
behind the clear glass.

that has worked for me for years with tools also.
I have a Hi Standard Olympic I love to shoot, C.T has CCI, I have a few boxes of st. v. short match ammo, but I just hord that stuff.
Those little Beretta 950's are nice in 22sh also , have had lots of them .

Ha. I have done that a couple of times when I lose a gun part and buy another. Almost immediately the "lost" part is found.

Yeah I have a Beretta 950 and an Astra Cub... Both with restricted barrels. Pretty fun little things. The Beretta doesn't seem to cycle well but the Astra does...

They're common around my area. They sit on the shelves. I modified a mag for my savage mk2 to feed them perfect
I use them in my Rossi37 also

I found my restricted 950 the to be surprisingly reliable. It even cycled CBs I put through it with no expectations that it would even eject. I only sold it because the damn thing would cut me bad when I held it wrong.

AFAIK match pistols with short were used in Olympic Rapid Fire match up to... was it the 2004 Olympics? After that the match was shot with .22LR. AIUI too many shooters were starting to get perfect 600/600 scores in the matches - so they went to "standard pistol" configuration. Rapid Fire pistols with shorts were often ported, had shorter barrels, roll-over triggers with no pull limit, wrap-around grips - people would use four lower-velocity rounds on top of the last high-velocity short so they'd be less likely to get a late-shot "miss" on the last target in the 4-second stage. Now, the Standard Pistol is - unported barrel, .22LR, 1000g trigger, and no wrap around. So now there's recoil and trigger-pull to deal with, and scores dropped. (5 shots into 5 targets in under 4 seconds with the starting position for the arm below 45 deg below horizontal, it's a bit tricky taming the gun between targets).
Not that anyone asked.
I've been able to find non-competition grade shorts at CT, Al Simmons (Hamilton), and a few other places. But I didn't find it all that cheap. Back when 12-year-old me was wandering around Manitoba farms shooting gophers, a box of shorts in the pocket went a long way...

Found "cheap" shorts. Remington gold bullets hi vel for $5.75 a box at Bass pro in Niagara Falls. Bought a brick.

This is cheaper than most LR ammo, so must be a good deal.
