Looking for Handgun
I am new to the handgun world and would like to start with a .22 pistol of some sort because it's really cheap to shoot. I will eventually get a 40 or 45. So my question is what should this beginner get ?
|
I'd just start with a 9mm

do you want a gun thats going to be similar to the 40 you get down the road, like a practice gun? or do you just want a nice 22. If you just want a nice 22 id recommend a browning buckmark.

Or, if you are going the .45 route, I'd definitely suggest the 1911 format, and you can find plenty of moderately priced .22's in that field. |
Ruger 22/45 is a great entry level semi auto pistol. Besides being a accurate pistol you can practice with it enough to hone your skills before stepping up to a larger caliber. I can't tell you how many rounds I've sent through mine without any issues what so ever. I also have a nice Ruger Mark III but they cost a bit more.

X2 on the ruger both the standerd mkll and mklll and 2245 are all outstanding guns. The buckmarks another good choice but i like the rugers better. Be leary of the sig mosquitoes i had one and it handled great but it never would shoot right. Also if your new to handguns look into a revolver the ruger single six is a good gun. Also a 4in 38 would be a good starter

Thanks guys. I am just looking for a .22 to start with. Then expand to a few more this fall or next spring. I'll take a look at the rugers and buckmarks

x3 on the Ruger 22/45. Due to its 1911 shape it is great to practice with; it is also very accurate. My only complaint is that the grip is some sort of polymer. I would have preferred metal but obviously that would increase the price.
Dis/assembly is very easy, look on YouTube for videos on this. |
I'm fairly new to handguns, and my wife didn't really want anything to do with any of my guns. Until I bought a Buckmark last summer. She told me a couple times at the range that we need another one because she didn't want to share. .22s are just a joy to shoot. I have to be honest I bought the Buckmark because I wasn't crazy about the way the Rugers looked. Both the Ruger and Browning are fine guns. My nephew just picked up a used Smith-Wesson a couple months ago, and that also seemed like a decent gun. Sorry I don't remember the model of that one. Do your research. Buy one! Good Luck!
