General Comments

The 240 is one of my favorite pistols. The pistol is accurate. I can hit a 1 1/2 inch field target kill zone from 25 yards. Practice is required to shoot the 240 accurately. I've had no mechanical problems. A friend of mine had to return two 240s because the "T" shaped barrel latch broke on each pistol. I wish I had bought a 240 in .22 caliber.

   In my humble opinion you are much better off with a pistol in .177 not .22 Restricted to 6fpe, the drooping trajectory of the .22 makes it much harder to shoot accurately over a distance. Just curious to know why you think the .22 is better?

And I like them in either caliber. They come in both .177 and ... ANY caliber, and they come in three of the four smallbore calibers, with two weights in .177. I also like Premiers in round tins.
