i'd go with a 9mm, cause i think .22 would get old after a week :dunno:

[JRock10]

i'd go with a 9mm, cause i think .22 would get old after a week :dunno:cheap range gun.

[el capitan]

cheap range gun.

yeah, but i start out with .38's then jump to .40, then hit the .357's and if i shoot .38's after its kinda :ugh:

basically i get bored with it, i wanna lil recoil for my money.

i think .22's are fun but in like 6 months i think i'd get bored with it.

i think that a great first gun is a .357 revolver because it lets you shoot 2 for the price of 1. and that = more fun in my book.

if you don't like revolvers the 9mm is good because ammo is relatively cheap, and you won't out grow it as fast. you could still carry it daily if you wanted too.

Honestly, I will probably go to the range less then 5 times ever.

I dont really get excited over shooting a stationary target. Skeet is different, and thats the only thing I shoot.

Mostly just for protection.

protection, i'd go with a 9 or .40 thats just me.

i know you can get it done with a 22, but after shooting one, i wouldn't bet my life on it. thats just me though, you buy what you want.

[el capitan]

good points. i've never had a .22 so i can't really comment. i just know they're cheap to shoot.


they are fun, but as far as felt recoil, think pellet gun.

[el capitan]

*note: i really like the looks and feel of the p22, and plan on buying one.

[JRock10]

as far as protection, +1 on something more than a .22 I rock a Glock 19 with alternating hydrashoks and aguila 65gr alloy hollowpoints.

The P22 has an awesome feel, and this is coming from a guy that feels natural holding a S&W .500 Short Barrell.

Were I going for a .22 pistol to play around with I'd probaby go with the SIG Mosquito over the P22.

i've heard that the mosquito is a little picky on ammo, and a bitch to clean. that being said i've also heard that they are really really accurate

i would give you rep for posting sessy wheel guns, but alas i cannot give you any at this time.

[JRock10]

[el capitan]

uh.... ok. :ugh:




















i'm moving my response away from your dick comments.






















yes i have held a model 500, i would have to have a longer barrel. honestly i'm not baller enough to afford the ammo that i would want to put through it. so at this time its one of those "i just won the lottery" things for me.

[JRock10]

ok, so i was exagerrating. a lot. but i do love that gun. but yeah, $1000 for the gun and like $5 a round, not happening for me anytime soon.

Same here.

I havent heard about the pickyness on ammo though.. anyone else heard that?

[Hardin Young]

My P22 has probably 3k rounds through it, 99% suppressed. It gets so dirty sometimes it won't function, that's when I know it's time to clean it. I love it, it's cheap to shoot and I can shoot it all day. I've never gotten bored with it and I won't begin to list all the guns I've had at one point or another, most with a happy switch.

A .22 is good protection..from Coke cans. I've even seen drive-bys on Cops where the bullet went through the guy's pants and bounced OFF his leg without drawing blood. For protection get something else. Anything with a caliber starting with .45 will suffice. Anything less is a girl gun (yes, even the .40, which started life as a downloaded 10mm because FBI girls and small guys couldn't handle the recoil of the issue S&W1006.)

You're not going to get enough practice to be proficient with it at the range in 5 trips.

[Dog]

You're not going to get enough practice to be proficient with it at the range in 5 trips.

:rofl: yes you would. its not exactly rocket science.


And i have been shooting guns all my life.

[Slick26]

P22 is a great gun, if you can get your hands on a reliable one.

sounds like something else you own. :mamoru:

[Slick26]

No idea what you're talking about.

[Slick26]

Yes I do.

[Heinzanova]

I started with a H&K USP .40C var 1.

My second gun was a P22 for a cheap range plinker.

I love it.

Third gun was a D. Eagle IMI .50

I have about 5000 rounds through my H&K .40 (my carry gun)
10,000+ thru my P22 along with friends have put probably 2000+ thru it
and my Deagle has seen a total of 28 rounds.

a decent .22 is a key gun for any true shooter.

Trigger time is trigger time.

$8 for 500 rounds of .22
$180 for 500 rounds of .40
$50 for 20 rounds of .50 AE

(fuck I hate cali)

[shmoogie]

I own a 380 PPK/S, I can't say enough for the quality of the gun. I love it.

[el capitan]

i almost bought one today, i had the guy get one out of the back room. i was just about to do the paper work when i thought about how pissed my wife would be. i still haven't completed my basement project, and i knew that if i bought it, i might have to use it when i got home. so i passed on it....... for now.

[Hardin Young]

:rofl: yes you would. its not exactly rocket science.


And i have been shooting guns all my life.

So you're saying guys that shoot IPSC can just go to matches and win, they don't need to practice? After all, they've been shooting all their lives.

[Hardin Young]

i thought about how pissed my wife would be

I'm so glad I don't have that problem any more. Ecstatic, really.

[el capitan]

i'm quite happy with it actually. i mean lets face it, if i wasn't married i'd be 300 pounds in an apartment full of empty rockstar cans and pizza boxes. and all of my extra monies would be spent at the strip club.

[Slick26]

I got fat after I got married.

[el capitan]

I got fat after I got married.

i gained 35, but i have since lost almost all of it. i think she was plumpin me up on purpose.

Exactly. Not to mention never having time to get out and exercise either.

[Hardin Young]

Shit, not me. I filed for divorce, bought a house, spankin new car, putting in patio this spring, out door kitchen this summer...and all I have to do is listen to her whine about paying me child support cuz she doesn't make enough to support her cig/whiskey habits after that.
