    I like .22 caliber pistols also. Beyond all doubt, the most accurate handgun I own is a High Standard Citation. While I bought it primarily to be my serious small-bore Bullseye pistol, on a lark I tired it in IHMSA small bore silhouette during the Eighties. Using run of the mill T22 ammo it would clean the course in every class except revolver. A Colt Officers Model Match was the killer of 100 meter rams in the Revolver category.

    Now there is an informal old geezers "match" for beer and bragging rights at the local indoor range. On a good night, a 1938 model Iver Johnson Supershot, will hold it's own against the Rugers and Smiths.
