I've went a little .22 crazy the past couple of years. I've been spending all of my "allowance" on guns, so I haven't had as much to spend on ammo. So, I've been trying to maximize my shooting time by supplementing my "real gun" shooting, with .22s. I'll keep it just to handguns for this post. I started off in '09 getting a Browning Buckmark. Sweet handgun, and I loved shooting it. Then my dad gave me his Hi-Standard Dura-matic. This gun is sentimental to me, because first off it's his, second because it was the first gun that I ever shot. In 2010 I got a Ruger MkIII, which I had been lusting after for awhile. At the same time my wife bought her first gun -- a Beretta 87 Cheetah. Yesterday I shot her Cheetah for the first time. Meowwwww!!!! It shoots sweet. It feels exactly like a M9, but without the recoil and smaller, of course.
Anyone have a favorite .22 handgun?
My favorite .22 handgun is my Smith & Wesson 422 Target model. It is fun to shoot, is cheap to shoot, and is pretty accurate.
ReplyDelete@Donald -- How do you like the S&W? You know I hadn't really considered the S&W. I saw it, as well as the Beretta Neos, but I guess I thought it looked a little "target range" and I was looking more for utility. It and the Beretta are also a little more futuristic looking, and I was looking more for traditional look (not that I'm against futuristic looking guns, I have a few of those, too). Is yours pretty durable?
ReplyDeleteMy next question, are you a fan of S&W guns? That's one of the few companies I don't have any guns of. I know they make solid stuff -- a lot of LEOs use them. Did you shop around a lot looking at different .22s, or did you set out specifically with the S&W in mind?
