How hard are these to find, and what is the price range they run for?? I assume they are not made anymore?? My GB search only pulled up a few, and they were all over from $200-$500.

I have a wild idea to buy one send it out to be threaded, and put a can on it

They aren't really difficult to find. I see them range from $300-$375 for used ones typically.

I have one threaded, with a yhm mite on it. Works great. It's probably the only "Hollywood quiet" pistol I have.

Beware... getting the barrel out (I didn't thread mine,,, I had mine Totally replaced with a threaded one) is a stone-cold bitch. Unless you have a serious hydraulic press at the house to get that pivot pin out, don't even attempt it. Send it out to have it done.

I bought one of the older blued ones about 2 years ago. I really enjoy shooting it, but I only bought it hoping it would fix my desire for a .32 Tomcat but it only made it worse.

I paid 350 for it and it came with a box and paperwork.

ETA: Turns out I paid 300 for it.

I hear they are a bitch

If, and I say if I buy one I will send it off to thread, can't do that myself anyways. Gonna feel out prices at the fun show next week I'm working, and go from there.

My buddy has a 950cc minx in 22 short, and it's a riot to shoot! It's like a firecracker

Really? I bought mine for fifty bucks on the EE years ago. It cost almost as much to ship it.

If you find someone who can thread the barrel, send me a PM. You have to counter bore the inside of the barrel and add an adapter, not a standard threading job.

I had one. When it fails to extract (and it will), I hope you have a thin cleaning rod handy to knock the case out of the barrel.

It doesn't have an extractor. That means you gotta keep the chamber clean. Carry a few Qtips with you to the range and swab out the crud every 100-150 rnds. It's not a plinker you can shoot for days. They're a bit more finicky but they're also sort of purpose built.

I love my 21a. I got it a few years ago used for $240 OTD. I've found myself ccwing it sometimes when I wouldn't have anything else, running, biking or just going to grab the mail. I also got an ankle holster for it and carry it sometimes if I can't carry a holster on my hip.

And anytime I'd bring a female shooting, it was usually their favorite gun to shoot.

I haven't had mine threaded yet but I plan to. I want to get my Beretta 71 set up first.

Here's a pic of my 21a and 71 before I removed the barrel extension.

I've seen some of the new production stainless ones so they are back in production.
