Hi all,
I've been considering getting the Hämmerli Xesse and was wondering what alternatives might be better or what I should know about the Xesse. I currently have a Browning Buckmark Contour, since I was not aware at the time that competition .22lr pistols like the Xesse are exempt from the California roster and can be purchased easily. Don't get me wrong, I like the Buckmark quite a bit and am not a good enough shooter to realize the advantages of a better pistol, but I hope to get there someday. And in the long run, I see the cost of the gun as negligible compared to the cost of ammunition, so I might as well go all out from the start.
I've heard that there were some durability issues with the original Trailside, have these been ironed out with the Xesse? How accurate is the gun (I haven't seen any grouping specs)? What other options might be better, and how are they better?
Thanks in advance!
