Yea, I don't know what the deal was with 22 ammo a while back. The Walmart by my house still limits the number of boxes you can buy. It was hit and miss (pardon the pun) with them for a long time. About 9 times out of 10 they wouldn't have any. If I was there and they had it, I'd buy the limit. I actually missed buying ammo a few times because I'd see it and then go get some other stuff and come back to Sporting Goods. I finally gave up and found a small local shop that had a decent stock. I paid a bit more, but they had it in stock. I've been lucky to have a few small shops close along with the box stores.
I'm looking at some laser training tools. I just wish that they were some other color than brass. I did find an Android app that works with the laser trainers. I need to see if I can find it again. I could use paper targets with it and not have to spend money on a dedicated target.
I was surprised that I haven't been able to find a 1911 laser trainer. Seems like they're all Glocks based on what I've found.
I had a Ruger 22/45. They are good guns -- and I hated it. The grip angle emulates that of the 1911, but the similarity ends there. For those who just want something to plink with, a 22/45 is probably a good choice -- but after buying it I would suggest investing in the conversion that makes it possible for humanoids with only two hands to reassemble it after field stripping.
But ... it isn't a 1911, and at heart I'm a 1911 kind of person. I wanted to be shooting a 1911, even when shooting .22. Somewhere along the way I threw a Ciener .22LR conversion kit on a junk 1911 receiver, and I never used the 22/45 again. It sat in the gun safe for years, until I finally sold it just a couple of months ago. It's one pistol I'm sure I'll never miss.
