Welcome from a former CNY'er.

If you call it "pop" you're in Western New York. If it's "soda" you're in CNY.

God willing and the Supreme Court does its job, This will be the LAST time, and three years from now the whole NYS pistol permit system will be history.

I just got back from a crowded first day at the Hamburg Gun Show in Erie County. Very nice; lots of buying and selling going on.

I have taught over 100 beginners using a Crosman 2240 bolt action single shot .22 pellet pistol. Less than $100, good for 40-50 shots per CO2 cartridge, as accurate at 10 yards as many .22 LR pistols. Not a toy. Fairly powerful. It will shoot through both sides of an empty Campbell soup can (...

CO2 cartridge life after first use depends on the gun. In the Crosman 2240 it stays charged for 24 hours at least. Likely longer. FYI each $1 cartridge is good for 45-55 shots.

For a low cost, accurate pellet pistol you really can't beat the single shot Crosman 2240. This CO2 gun is great for teaching sight picture and trigger control.

This show is usually well attended both days. The Bills game is late on Sunday so the crowd won't be affected.

In a retail store I'd say close to $700-$800 for a nice one.

Mare's Leg? Not for me. I don't buy into the concept. I never saw the TV show so I have no connection.

GOPerfect, I had a MP5 copy in .22 some years ago. I think it was made by GSG. It was an excellent little plinker.

Saltwater, thanks for referring to the dumbazz in the story as "the guy running the class" and not as "the instructor". He weren't no instructor.

And the sign painter with the odd mustache. Corporal what's - his - name.

I'd love to own one too, but not at that price. Pedersoli makes premium grade firearms at premium prices.

I like the idea of a starter pistol that uses 209 primers. Shot shell primers are much easier to find than .22 blanks.
