I have been wanting to buy a smaller cal pistol to plink at some targets and I'm just wondering what an inexpenceive .22 would be to buy. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a .22 be about the cheapest pistol to buy for alot of rounds being shot? I do not reload so I will be buying all my blocks of ammo. thanks in advance for any advice.

22 pistols are fun, economical, fun, and did I mention fun to shoot? Lots of deals to be found out there. I have 2 friends with 22 pistols, one has a buck mark, the other has a smith and wesson model, I have a beretta Neos, all of them are as accurate as a 22 pistol could be. My brother in law just landed a beretta Neos used from a gander mt. for 175. Keep your eyes open, maybe head to a gun show or two but definately keep those models in mind. before I bought my Neos, I looked really hard at the ruger 22/45 model. I added a red dot sight to mine which really helped. Word of caution, purchasing one handgun will result in the purchasing of more handguns........I heard a rumor of S&W making a 10mm revolver. Not that I would be looking for one...........

Have fun, pick up a few different models and see which one feels good in your hand. I tried a walther once, I thought the grips were extremely small

Probably more Ruger Mark series autos sold than any other. I have had a Mark II stainless for years with no problems. Yes, they are a lot of fun to shoot, and cheap to shoot. And I think picks mentioned they are fun to shoot. He did mention that right?

I second the ruger MarkII, the bull barrel version, will shoot more rounds in its lifetime than a grown man could only dream of. You may also consider any of the revolver options, Like the Taurus Tracker or others

If you do get a .22 handgun start buying by the 550 round boxes and "reloading" your own 100 round bricks to help keeping track of what you are actualy shooting.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
