Sound advice.
basic common sense
I like a 9mm but that’s just me.
I have a Sentinel Imperial .22 revolver & enjoy it.

Pistol practice from 25', which is always fun, blew away 100 plus rounds {thanks for ear protection}.
After 50+ years, I had to replace a scope on my old 30-30 and it still shoots very flat, a great gun when my grandkids were first hunting and all three got their first deer with that rifle.
My best shooter is a 30-06 bolt action and I put the first three in the bull and stopped after that {I could only go down hill and I was just testing the rifle}.
Even though the 30-06s are better shooters than the 30-30 I've taken the smaller gun out for the past 2 years because of less recoil.
I fell and dislocated my right shoulder 3 years ago and even though it seems OK, it can't take the kick like it used to.
We all know that if you own guns, you better keep practicing and know what you and they can do, together.
Great. Now I NEED a .22 revolver, LOL!
Good article. Makes perfect sense. The first .22 rifle I purchased was through a very knowledgeable friend who showed me the ropes. My little .22 that I keep in the nightstand was inherited from my Dad. My .22 Browning was bought by Beau as a gift to me, and with his assistance.
I can testify to ‘trying on’ a lot of handguns to find that perfect fit. :)
Very well written.
Admirable choices for 22 pistols. And who could resist a Bearcat once they’ve picked one up?
It appears the author doesn’t live in a free state and was required to involve the local constabulary in what should be a normal exchange of business. If the chosen firearms outlet could not provide the information necessary for her to feel comfortable with the process, she needed to move on to another establishment. Since it seems there are special state requirements, the gun shop deals with those on every sale and should have been able to guide her accordingly without a special inquiry at the cop shop by her. JMO - I guess her “inner Karen” could not be satisfied without seeking further approval.
I would add - get to a firearm safety class.
Bump
I like the .22 mag in a revolver.
But DA.
And nine shots.
What
is your need for owning a firearm?
That seems like a stupid question.
