with that said I feel comfortable enough with the 3.4' P22 that I'd be able to remain accurate for longer shots anyway. The ranges I go to are indoors so anything past 25 yards really doesn't concern me. 22 LR pistols in the past and for my use I like the shorter barrel more. I haven't shot the 5' P22 but I do own a 3.4' model and I love it.
the fact that the ammo is so cheap just means I can go to the range more often which is all the better. I agree completely that it is a fun gun to shoot.
