Looking for something to shoot up the neighbors dog :) JK, I want something I can fire off a few hundred rounds at the range and not cost a fortune buying ammo. Does anyone here have anything? Suggestions welcomed as well.

At first I thought you were serious....A 22. is a fun gun to target practice with, LOUD but fun.
A .22 is loud? WTF???:rolfQuote:

Are you set on a pistol? .22 rifles are much more accurate
and when the bug bites you'll want to start hittin squirels.
If you want cheap and very accurate fun I'm putting this
custom beaded, trigger jobbed 17HM2 on Gunbroker this
week:

Buy the $300 scope and I'll throw in the gun for free.
Sitting at the local gun range guys will think your missing
the target...just keeps going thru the same hole :)
Im gonna dump some 22 rifles as well, buying another
gun....expensive one :wooo
Ruger 10/22 stainless, under 300 rounds thru it:

I'll post more with prices after checking market value.
Remington Nylon 66, fastest cycling 22 ever made.
Eric, if you're looking for a good 22 pistol, I would highly recommend the Browning Buckmark. They come in all sorts of variations. Go to Browning's site and check them out. I know Gander often has the Beretta Neos on special, but I think they are garbage. I have heard a lot of stories of cycling issues with those. I've had hundreds of rounds through my Buckmark without issue.
Buckmark, or if you want to grow with it (as in upgrade it as you become a better shooter), get a Ruger, the aftermarket supports the Ruger way more than the Browning.
Hands down, Walther P22... I'm planning on buying one myself. My brother has one and absolutely loves it. Shoots the Walther more than his HK USP .45. There are 2 interchangeable barrel lengths (I just want the shorter barrel myself). I think you can find them for $250 to $300. Maybe less if you look hard.

Locally I think Sportsmans Warehouse had the best price... though when I was looking for one earlier in the year they kept selling out.
Check out the gun show out in Waukesha, you could probably pick up a decent used one for $100 or less
When is this? Hopefully not on the weekend :thumbsupQuote:

The Walther is a nice piece for what it is, just a plinker. Lots of neat do dads you can buy for it to:thumbsup
FWIW-don't even bother going to the Waukesha or State Fair gun shows, the dealers are on crack. Best bet it to buy something from someone walking around with something for sale!

I just sold one of these on BCM last year, but a 12" bullbarrel:

The exempler is the most acurate 22 pistol out of the box period, used
ones in rough shape sell cheap but are just as acurate with old barrels.
I don't think you are going to find any decent pistol at a gun show for under $100. Those gun shows in Waukesha aren't too bad if you are looking for specific parts or accessories, but they usually price their firearms pretty high for what they are. If buying a new one, I think Sportsman's will probably be your best bet. I'd stay away from Gander because their prices are usually high compared to other places. I do know Cabela's has a special firearm sale this weekend. I do remember seeing some 22 pistols in the flyer.Quote:

If you're just looking to go plinking at a range or at a buddy's farm, you may want to check out the hi-point pistols. They don't have a .22 but they do have a 9mm for $155 and ammo isn't all that much really.
Check them out if you want, just a suggestion.

How does this compare to another that costs 3 times as much? I want to get to the range 3-4 times a month and would like something I can run ammo through and have some sort of accuracy. This pistol is priced right, but does it make a decent beginner pistol to get a feel for it at the range?Quote:

If you are just getting into shooting, I would suggest sticking with a .22. First, ammo is dirt cheap. You can buy 500 rds for $10 or so. Plus, it's good to get your form down and to get used to shooting a handgun in general. Shooting handguns is a lot different than shooting rifles. A 22 will allow you to get used to this much easier because the recoil is minimal. I think your accuracy would also be better with a Buckmark (compared to a hi point) because almost all of them have heavier bull barrels and an adjustable rear sight. (Then again we are comparing a 22 to a 9mm).
I would like to stick to a .22 because of the cheaper ammo, 10 bucks for 500 sounds great to me.
Ruger MKII. All day. I think my total investment in this is $500. Trigger has been reworked, pulls under two pounds. I once shot a dime sized ten shot group with it from a rest. At fifty yards. 10 1/2" bull barrel. More reliable than your floor, and a large aftermarket.
