Spesco (Reck) R-12
« on: February 24, 2005, 04:55:32 PM »
i've applied to have my licence upgraded so i can own pistols and should have it back by the end of March. i noticed this gun on a website for sale and am interested. the price is $195 CDN and it looks good, but at that price i'm kinda leery. do they have a bad reputation? i've never heard of this make.

:cb2: After clicking on the picture and getting a larger version of it, I would say save your money. I have never heard of this gun, but I'm no expert. But by looking at the front sight, the hammer, trigger, base pin release button, it just looks real cheap. (Let me go ahead and add the frame and the barrel.) I'd save up and get a (used or new) Ruger Single Six or .22 Bisley if you really want a good .22 single action. Remember, you get what you pay for. This thing doesn't look as good as some of the things that fired roll caps when I was a kid.

Wipe it from your mind. Think no more of it!
