What to get, a 22 pistol or Eotech?

I always, always, always buy another gun over accessories.

Get the .22...fun to shoot, cheap to run. Always fun with new shooters and old.

I like my Buck Mark a lot. Get one. Then save up more $$ and someday get the Eotech.

I'd also get the 22 handgun.

Buy the gun. Someone will eventually produce a quality copy of the EOTech at a cheaper price. Mako did it with their magnifiers. A Mako 3x magnifier is $100 compared to the EOTech of the same maginfication for $400, and it works just as well.

This statement very well may be one of the most intelligent posts ever on THR!!!

Get the gun.

Chalk up another one for the .22.

The ONLY gun I regret selling is my Beretta Neos Inox .22LR.

Get the .22 , LOTS of fun and CHEAP to shoot.

Get the 22 pistol and then a nice used Bushnell Holosight instead of the EoTech.

Well an Eotech on an AR is nice.

I would choose the pistol first.

what sight do you now have on the colt? Depends, do you see yourself plinking for fun more, or shooting your AR? The one thing that I will say, whatever you do, don't buy cheap accessories, you will prolly want the real thing later. I shoot my AR a lot more than my 22.

I was in a simular situation; I live on 20K a year so every purchase is an important one. I conscidered this latest purchase for months, just like you.
A 22lr lets you shoot ALOT! Training, lots of training, is what keeps your shooting skills good.
A 'better' sight might make you shoot 'better' but to not train as much, do to cost of CF ammo, and that is where you loose muscle memory and speed. Yes a 22LR IS different than the REAL THING but hitting a target, sight picture and trigger control is not. As that ash hat that beat out Napolean once said (Sorta) Shoot! Shoot! and Shoot some more!
There will be a replacement for the EOTECH someday, I use a $150.00 Bushnell X1 MP dot scope, dang thing works gud!

Eotech.

Eh, not me. I'd rather have one gun set up exactly the way I want than two guns that aren't set up the way I want.

I'm a rifle guy. Eotech!

Another vote for the pistol here...if you have .22 rifles,a pistol will round it out and let you take a brick to the range and shoot both. I have a Beretta Neos; it looks silly but shoots great and cost all of $219

Buy once, cry once. The cheapest is seldom the least expensive.
