I have a Henry Survival Rifle as well as a Rossi pump-action .22 rifle, but I'm starting to feel like my collection is "incomplete" without a .22 pistol of some sort for inexpensve plinking, or introducting new shooters to handguns.
A 1911 is hopefully in my future, and I know they make .22 conversions for it. But since a Glock 19 is my main CCW weapon, I checked and found a conversion for IT too. Offhand I would think that that would be the smartest choice.
OTOH, I hear that the .22 is not overly fond of feeding in semiautos at times. Maybe a wheelgun would be smarter? My first "real" gun was a Taurus 94 9-shot revolver, which I sold a while back. But, the DA trigger on mine was pretty terrible....
One gun I would NOT consider would be a Ruger .22 auto. None of you people know my brother, but let me assure you - when HE has to take a pistol back to the store to get them to help him put it back together? Something is WAY over-complicated!
