I carry a 22 myself. Had PT night sights installed and it works fine. Not the best handgun I've ever owned, but close. It's an ex-police officers duty weapon, and he wanted me to carry it because of the history of it. I originally talked him into buying it back in '95 to replace his Centurion. It had only had 2 boxes of ammo run through it when he gave it to me last month. And, I did say GAVE. He let me have it because he said he would feel better knowing I was carrying it over my Springfield TRP.
It's accurate enough, and I do like it. I have large hands, so it works out well.
Only thing is, some departments around here advocate carrying it with an empty chamber. Pretty silly if you ask me, but that's the truth. There's been a lot of AD's, and the county/city/village attorneys get kinda nervous.
1*, how about your department?
