RE: shooting the 22lr
i just bought a walther p22, and it is so much fun. in three months, i have put more rounds through that gun than i think i have shot out of any gun i own, maybe with the exception of my 10-22. I love shooting it, and it is great practice for the bigger handguns, i helps get me used to the shot going off, and has improved my ability to keep from flinching before the shot, which helps accuracy a lot. I love it, .22's def are the best.
