Thinking about buying a gun. Any advice?

Posted on 07/04/2017 7:01:30 AM PDT by A Cyrenian

I'm thinking about buying Smith & Wesson SW22 pistol to start target shooting. I've thought this could be fun for a while and now have the opportunity to join a local gun club.

What advice can you give me on owning a small caliber pistol?

Thanks.

I’ve a SIG Sauer P228 9mm with a .22 conversion kit that’s easily swapped changing out the slide/spring/barrel/magazine. Glock makes the same thing. Perhaps there are other manufacturers. Another option giving you .22 and a defensive caliber for same gun to train with.

This thread's still running?

Okay, one other thing. If you've made up your mind about what you want to get, go ahead and get it.

Go shoot it, and enjoy it. If you later decide that you want something else, go get it too. Then you have two, right?

It’s been at least several weeks since the last “I’m thinking of buying a gun, what gun should I buy?” thread. This is a staple of Free Republic, right up there with Lord Of The Rings and Caption This Photo threads.

Completely agree, I have had my Buckmark for 10 years, probably 30,000 rounds through it and it is still my favorite pistol.
