Finally picked up a Ruger 22/45 5.5" BB (Mark III) in stainless. Went to the range and shot about 250 rounds of various CCI products and was happy with results. I had one jam because the magazine wasn't fully seated which will hopefully loosen up after some more shooting as it's really tight...

I'm in the market for a 22 and have decided on a Ruger, most likely a 22/45. Need a price check on the 22/45™ Mark III™ / KP45HMKIII. (Mark III 22/45 Hunter) Local store, and I know prices vary widely and there aren't a lot of dealers in my area, had one but I was astounded at the price of...

I'm in the market for a 22. (To complement my Wonder Nine and 1911 45) Can someone explain to me the difference between the Mark II vs Mark III? I think one difference is a magazine lockout, right? Any others? I'm not big on lawyer induced safties, so is it possible to turn a Mark III...

I'm looking into buying my first rifle. I see that the 10/22 is very popular and has almost a cult like following. I plan to do informal target shooting and plinking, no competitions or anything like that. I really like the Deluxe Sporter which has a walnut stock and runs around $250 in my...

Local Gander Mtn sale had Ruger 10/22's on sale for $150. I'm not familiar with rifles. The Ruger was listed as having a 10 shot rotary magazine. Is it possible to fit other magazines for that rifle with higher capacity? Is $150 a good deal? I couldn't tell, but can you easily mount...

This is way too close for comfort. I boat in the town right next door and travel that road weekly during the summer to get to my boat. Luckily, it's almost always on a weekend! WOODSTOCK, Ill. -- Authorities in McHenry County said a Wisconsin hunter was charged after firing shots that hit a...

I've been in the market for a 22, mostly for informal paper punching. I've looked at both Ruger Mark II's and Buckmark models. I really like the KMK512 stainless bull barrel 5.5" Ruger, but would really prefer, if possible, something that held more than 10 + 1 rounds. Then it dawned on me...

I was at my local sports store yesterday looking at something to pique my interest so I can be separated from my money. I came upon a Beretta Tomcat (IIRC) in 22LR. I didn't understand the purpose of this pistol. The calibre is too small to be a defensive pistol. The pistol itself is too...

Interesting picture. I was given this at a recent family reunion from an older relative. The lady is my grandma, and the little guy is my Dad. For reference, I am now 34 years old and the picture was taken in 1945. Unfortunately, both have passed. Can anyone identify the rifle...

Just returned from the local gun store. I want a 22 for cheap paper punching and target shooting, with the possibility of scoping or putting a red-dot on it for some more fun down the road. No formal competitions or anything, just fun while out with the guys. I have it narrowed down to two...

Seems our new Web Team has barred me from viewing some of my favorite sites while at work, not the least of which are about firearms. Glocktalk, Glock-Guns, 1911Forum, etc. are now out of my jurisdiction of browsing. Why? Because of their "Adult" content. I guess I'm not "Adult" enough. I...

I'm in the market for a new .22. I currently have a Glock 19 (9mm) and a S/A Loaded (.45). I love the nine and shoot the lights out of it, and also my .45, although I don't shoot it as much mainly because ammo is twice the amount of money than 9mm. I'm looking for a 22 to make target paper...

http://www.usshooters.com/steel_game.html My best so far, 2.589. (Starting big, clearing left to right, then left side...starting left to right)

Seriously, I was thinking that when I die I want my trusted pistol buried with me. You know how some people have pictures and trinkets buried along with them for the afterlife...well...I want my pistol. I've even considered making a small box with a hidden compartment to hold it if I can't...

I'm in the market for a .22. I have my choices down to 3. Either a 5.5 Bull Barrell Ruger, a 22/45 Ruger, and a Buckmark, although I'm not sure on which model Buckmark. I prefer the gun to be in Stainless. I also own a .45, so I was thinking the 22/45 would be the right choice. What...

I went to the range Friday after work. I brought along my newly purchased Springfield Armory 1911 SS Loaded. It worked flawlessly, even though it was brand new. Woohoo! I expected the worst, but was pleasantly surprised. No problems whatsover. While there, a stranger wanted to shoot...

I just recently took up firearms after a long hiatus. Actually, I've always wanted to sooner, just never had the means. Now, instead of borrowing, I shoot my G***k 19 and Springfield 1911. (I'm trying to decide the debate between 9mm vs 45 and Glock vs 1911 myself :eek: ) Anyway, I shoot...

I shoot a lot of 9mm. I also shoot a lot of Winchester White Box value paks/Winclean too. I don't reload, nor have plans on reloading. (The only one I know of who reloads is a friend of a friend) How do I know what a reloadable casing and what's not? Or is any centerfire brass casing...

I shoot with a buddy of mine. I send 9mm downrange while he prefers to throw .22 (Cheap? You be the judge). When I throw a string downrange with his gun I'd be lucky to still be able to view the target without letting the air clear first. (OK, OK, it's not that bad, but you get my idea) I...

I'm looking to purchase my first 1911. I plan on using it for HD and general target practice (No CCW in Illinois). I already have a reliable 9mm ( Glock :D ) and am looking for a reliable .45. So far, of all the ones I've seen, I've liked the SA Loaded (SS) the best. (It had a lot of...
