Too expensive for a .22lr IMO.

Honestly though, its GREAT cheap trainer for a P226

You gotta pay to play. You can't be a boss if you can't drop the cash on a ratchet to raise a little Cain with.

Got priorities bra. Sig Sauer doesn't pay my mortgage unfortunately. In a couple years time that might indirectly change, though. Right now I'm much more interested in rifles over handguns anyway.

Here's another mosquito for ya. This thing is SICK:

If you move the gun rapidly while shooting can it hit the muzzle?

Theoretically, sure. Baffle strikes happen with off-center suppressors and destabilized bullets. It can happen. Just a question of how rapidly the barrel would have to be moved in order for the can to contact the exiting bullet.

Sorry Scott, Mythbusters busted that theory with the curving bullet lie from another crappy Hollywood movie.

It wouldn't be curving the bullet path, it would be swinging the gun fast enough that the can is moved into the (straight) path of the bullet before the bullet clears the end of the can.



EDIT: Before I get challenged for saying the bullet travels in a straight path, I do understand ballistics. I'm treating it as a straight path since we're talking about distances of 6"-8" from the end of the muzzle.

I postulate that a gun with a very slightly curved barrel, with spherical ammunition, and a sort of "ribbing" inside of the barrel instead of "rifling" whereby the movement of the spherical bullet through the relatively lose bore of the barrel created a strong sideways rotation (much like a baseball player throws a curve ball, or a ping pong player slaps the ball with a strong left-to-right motion to put a ridiculous curve on the ping pong ball) instead of the normal rifled spin, while not being extremely accurate, could actually produce a noticeable curvature of the projectile.
