Freddie de Lux said:Now why would you need a gun?
stilleto said:and why would you need 4 of them?
p0ink said:just a little walther p22.
why?
1. i want to do a lot of handgun practice on the cheap. a box of 500 .22lr sells for $8 vs a box 9mm for $7. do we even need to compare the cost of 22 to 45?
2. because my gf wants to go shooting, but she is scared shitless (because of her hippy, liberal upbringing). i want something that is very light and not too loud for her to start with.
3. i think every collection should have a .22
manny78 said:Good luck with the P22. They get jammed big time.
p0ink said:do they? i heard they were sweet, little guns.
i heard its conversions that get jammed all of the time.
mm107 said:cant wait till im 21, then i gotta send in my handgun permit forms and wait 6 months for an interview, but i hope!
p0ink said:and guess what? which state has more gun crime? ny or co? washington dc has a total ban on handguns, but it has the highest murder rate in the country.
patsfan1379 said:I'm pretty sure it's the poverty rate and minority infilration that's more indicative as to why the murder rate is higher in DC than Colorado maing.
p0ink said:do you think this would be a safer society if all law-abiding citizens were armed?
Frisky said:my .02 on a .22.... for anyone, not just your gf. If I ever have to pull any gun out to defend my self, I want that damn thing to make that person stop in their tracks! Sure a bigger gun will have more power and will be louder, but she won't hear a damn thing when she fires it due to the rush going thru her body. I refuse to putchase a 22 ever! I've shot one, and there is not much power behind them. I bought a 45 Ruger a bit ago and was told I wouldn't be able to handle it. Well I fired that thing better than I did the Glock.
My suggestion is before you purchase something she will be shooting ... take her to the range (one that sells guns) and have her take a few classes and shoot a few different guns.

p0ink said:a 22 is not meant for defense. it's meant for doing a lot of shooting for very cheap. it's hard to get a lot of practice in if you own a 45, because it will cost you an arm and a leg.
box of .45 rounds - $15 for 50
box of .40 rounds - $12 for 50
box of 9mm rounds - $6-7 for 50
box of .22lr rounds - $8 for 500
huge price difference.
