First Pistol Shopping

Shockey said:
Ok read the whole thread, back to square one. Anyone try the girsan MC 28? Norc Cf-98?

I bought an MC28 as my first pistol and it was not bad. The trigger was mediocre though. I was fighting it and shooting poorly. Got hold of a Norc NZ85B (CZ85B clone) which feels miles better. Someone put a lighter recoil and main spring in it for me and the feel is great and I'm far more accurate with it. Supposedly the new MC28 V2 has an improved trigger so it may be better. Also have a Norc NP58 which has a better trigger than the MC28 (in single action anyhow, it's super heavy in DA). And have a Beretta 92 .22 which is awesome.

I agree regarding the NZ85B; but it too had poor grips. I put a pair of CZ take-offs (over molded rubber); I will never sell it. My Nork NP58 was quite accurate, but it did have a long, heavy double action trigger, and quite a long reset on single action too. Biggest complaint with it was a lot of feeding issues. I wanted to replace it with a NP40, but could not find one; bought a full-size steel Jericho and like it. I shoot PPC with both the Nork and the Jericho.

Thanks for the reply. I'm becoming more interested in a .22 pistol the more I research. I'd like to get my girlfriend out shooting figure with a .22 good choice for kids/women/friends plus cheaper.

The MC28 is a decent pistol. Rip-off of the M&P. I had one and it never gave me an issue.

If you are looking at .22's, seriously consider the S&W victory. Great gun. Nice and heavy build, nice sights and dead nuts accurate.

If you buy a .22 ( and I agree it’s a good beginner caliber), buy the best one you can afford. If you buy the cheapest junk, the gun may sour you due to the tons of failure to feed and ejects you may encounter.

Off the top of my head, I would suggest the Ruger Mk. III, Browning Buckmark, the S&W M&P .22 and the upcoming Glock 44 looks very good in videos.

+1

I've had good success with the Ruger MkII/MkII; Ruger 22/45; GSG 1911 .22lr; Beretta 71.

Stay away from the ISSC M22. POS, jamma-matic.

I agree, best new .22 pistol for the money; best old .22 is still, and always will be High Standard.
