so, maybe it's just the Olympic mood coming over me, but I'm considering doing some *serious* training, and trying to get on either the American or Danish olympic team for 2008. yes, this could all be a pipe dream, and I won't have a chance, but still, indulge me. now, the problem right now is, I don't own a .22. at the moment, I don't think I can swing a true Olympic-caliber (no pun intended) target pistol, but I need something to start with. I'm pretty darn good with a .45 and a 9mm, but I need a .22 that will feel similar to a full-on Olympic pistol. anyone have any reccomendations? I was considering the EAA Baikal Izh35, but I was also thinking, would a Ruger MK.II with Target grips be a decent choice? is there something else that y'all would recommend? I'm looking for a 5 shot semi-auto in 22LR, just to train with, and I want the grip to be at least similar to the full-race guns. I know that they're running 22short in the olympics, but 22LR is more available, and, in my way of thinking, if I'm good with the slightly heavier recoil of 22lr, 22short should be no problem.
suggestions?
