So I was up at Elite Pawn and gun yesterday, looking for a fun 22lr to plink with. Came across a used mpa defender with the side cocker. I saw the price and my inner 80s gang banger came out. I snagged it with low hopes, assuming it would be inaccurate and problematic. I figured it would just be something different than what I currently shoot. Took it out today and am really impressed. Shot around 250 rounds through it and it hit exactly where I pointed it out to 25 yards. Sights are better than the old cobrey m11s. Still as heavy and did FTE around 8 times although that was mostly due to me bump firing it.
