My first gun when I was seven years old was a Browning SA-22, Belgium made.
Grew up with that and still have it! Since it was 'my right arm' for so
long, I never really got into the 10/22's.

Not looking for adjustable sights speciically, but I agree they seem to
have upped the RANGE of their offerings anyway. :-)

LOL - nice! Our youngest son likes his 1911's. I like them okay, but I
don't have the bug. :-) If I have a bug at all it's SAA types (Wranger,
Heritage, etc.).

Yes - get that done!
