Most other ammo is expensive enough to prevent you from working with your weapon.....9mm, .45, etc.

Actually 9mm is pretty cheap. I buy mine at Chin...err Wal-Mart, (Winchester white box) 100rds for $12.

But for some reason most gun stores try and sell 9mm for around $10 for 50. I just laugh and go to Wally World.

.45's are $20 for a box of 100.

But your right about the .22's, you can't beat 500 for $10.

100 rounds for $12 isn't bad.

For a beginner, though, that Ruger 22 is just a great pistol for learning to shoot. It's accurate to a fault. Any in the line of Mark II or III with a bull barrel is a great buy.
