All I said was I thought the platform was too heavy for a .22.

You know I usually do not enjoy being right among friends thou.
I do love a revolver with weight. I prefer my Redhawk over my old 357. The weight keeps the recoil calmer in 44 than the lightweight 357 has.
with an Alloy frame and cut to Detonics length, the floating chamber'd 22lr Colt conversion is as "hard" to control as a steel framed 9mm, while saving you 20c a shot. While th eColt is expensive, about $800 all set up, it only takes 3000 rds to save taht cost, over a .$200 "normal" .22. i've had scores of 1000 rd days at the range, even with .45's.
Personally I've never owned at Chiappa in the style of the 1911, altho I have handled them, I've never talked to anyone who owned one. I bought a Kimber Rimfire Target (1911 lookalike) a couple years ago, and found it was totally worthless. The light weight felt un-natural and I had all kinds of feeding problems. Several of the bowling pin shooter's in our area also had the same trouble. I ended up buying a Kimber upper that wasn't a light weight alloy and it worked fine and still does. I also have three Ruger MkII's and two Ruger 22/45's (early model). Most of you probably know there is quite a difference between the early and late model 22/45's, difference in the price too. I much prefer the larger size of the early model and they seem to be more problem free than the late model. Not all pistols are created equally, they don't all preform the same, some are just better than others.
Might just do that.... I love that Ruger MKIII. You can tell just to hold it that it's a solid, well built gun. The accuracy is dead on from my experience.
I used to own one of those and it was like a rifle in accuracy. It was a lot better than i was and it made me look good!
