Good buy and if you hunt squirrels they're a blast. Good luck.

Great choice. If I didn't already have two, older .22's including a Smith and Wesson, I would get one too. Maybe I will anyway. It looks like a super little pistol. A .22 is always an excellent choice for the field. And you dont' have to feel like you are plinking away your life's savings just to have some fun.

ROFL, reminds me of duck hunt...

I hear ya on the pinking away the life savings. I have an AK-47 clone that i bought 1000 rounds of ammo for last summer for just under $200. Lots of fun to shoot, but expensive. With the new .22, i can get 1000 rounds for less than $40.


I don't know when I'll get to shoot the new gun, since I broke my finger at work Friday and can't hold the gun with enough confidence to try shooting it.

That's the main reason I purchased my Ruger .22. It lengthens my range time as well as being a lot cheaper to shoot. It's more trigger time (no matter what kind of gun it is, it matters in my opinion), and it's cheap as hell to shoot. I shoot the cheap Walmart Federal "Value Pack" of 550 rounds through my Ruger and haven't had a single problem after 1350 rounds in about 3 weeks (and I only spray it down when I'm done). .22's are a lot of fun and I don't really understand why people knock them at all. They are cheap to shoot and extremely accurate. The majority of the people that shoot at the outdoor range that I frequent who knock the .22's, show up and unload their rounds on the range (usually some kind of .45 or something of a bigger caliber), and don't hit a single thing in the range. I love the .22 and I consider it a great INVESTMENT. Just my .02
