The Smith and Wesson 22A has not been out of production for all that long. Actually it was right about a year ago the Smith officially discontinued this gun. It is possible there might still be a few floating around local gun shops that are new, but the vast majority of them will be used. And if you want an easy-to-service tack-driver, this is it.

Two New 9mm Springfield Range Officers
Updated: April 29, 2016If you are a fan of the 1911 and have not checked out Springfield’s Range Officer line you owe it to yourself to do so.

The Used Market: The Full Bodied .380 Taurus PT-58
Updated: April 1, 2016Polymer mouse guns aren’t for everyone. Some of us prefer a more substantial .380–but they’re getting to be rather scarce. Here’s one you should consider if you ever come across one used. The Taurus Pt-58.
The Baby Browning–a Micro Classic
Updated: March 11, 2016GunsAmerica Shooting History takes a look at the classic FN made Baby Browning. This is a very well made little mouse gun that was an update of the Colt Vest Pocket. How well does this .25 stack up, and is it a viable gun for concealed carry?
