Well I think I want to get a .22 handgun in addition to a 9mm or .40s&w. I've been told and have read that the .22 is a good gun to get good practice with and that the ammo is cheap. Anyone have experience with them? I have seen that some are for sport shooting only and have longer barrels. I think I'm more interested in one that is more of a traditional semi-auto or revolver. I picked up a Sig Mosquito yesterday and like it pretty well. Any opinions?

So, a couple of guns I've shot in the past and loved are the Smith & Wesson M&P22 and the Kimber .22 LRs. bit.ly/o9ZiP7bit.ly/pmqyW5 |

I have a Browning Buckmark and really enjoy it. Also the Ruger Mark III is good and there are the ones from Smith and Wesson.

Ruger Mark III's are nice as hell. Pretty damn accurate, too!  |

We were there to look at some rain gear for work. Of course I had to show her what I was looking at getting. Let me know how you like the S&W. |

Hey Alex, I have a Mark II and a .22-45, both are semi autos and then you saw the revolver. We can take them to shoot whenever. They are a LOT of fun and very cheap to shoot. The two semis are scoped at the moment but can be removed quickly. I didn't bring them because I figured you would want something more for home defense.

Thanks Chris, Yeah you got me thinking about it that day. I thought it was a good idea to have something cheap to shoot and get some practice with. I still want a 9 or 40 for home defense. Hit me up when you're able to go out to the range again. I'll pick up some ammo the day before.

today I got a Tasco Reddot sight and installed it on the 22. Sighted it in at 15 yds, got 9 hits on a 4" plate off hand.
Its only 1x but has a 30mm lens.

The only .22 cal handgun I own is a Browning Buckmark. It is by far the gun I am the most accurate with and it is really a great looking firearm. This was the second gun I purchased and with it, I was able to develop the skills necessary to be able to shoot properly. I really enjoy going to the range shooting it without having to be concerned with how much I am spending on ammo.
Once the sights are dialed in you can get extraordinary groups each and every time.
