The Beretta 87
Anyone heard good/bad things about it? All the official reviews I've read so far seem to be positive. I'm looking for a nice looking double action .22 LR pistol that will not suck (ie. not a P22 or Sig Mosquito), but won't be butt ugly (ie. not a Ruger), and so far this pistol seems to fit the bill.

Then what's wrong with a Ruger .22?
That Beretta looks more cumbersome than a .22 ought to be. To continue with my analogy ... A Honda Civic is also a zippy and fun car to drive ... but you wouldn't want that engine in a Jaguar platform ... it's a whole different beast. |

Whilst I disapprove of the .22 I will defend to the death your right to shoot it ...
... well, maybe not to the death. Go for it. As an aside: My guilty pleasure was a .45 colt Uberti Cattleman that looks just like Charles Bronson's gun in Once Upon a Time in the West ... I shot it and stripped it for cleaning a couple of times ... now the cylinder is having trouble locking ... When I get a moment I'm going to have to learn more about SA mechanism and completely strip it. But I'm left with a nice looking paperweight. |

Haha. Nice looking paperweights are entirely underrated.
