Nowadays, the primers cost as much as .22 shells.
Is the .22 LR for real handgunners?

If it weren't for real handgunners, then why is it used in NRA bullseye?
Why does Marvel make conversion for the 1911, BHP and Glocks?

I figure a real handgunner is one who has a nice collection of guns and buys a .22 for the fun of it.

Great score on the Ruger. I have the MK3 Hunter Stainless but unfortunately had to pay full price.It is a joy to shoot. Enjoy your pistol.

A real handgunner would not differentiate between "real handgun" and ".22 handgun". They are both real handguns. I many many more rimfire handguns than I do centerfire handguns. I have 7 .22LR handguns and only 1 centerfire handgun in the Jeep right now...to go to the range after work. I consider myself "real".

Oh, absolutely! It is great fun to take the kids out with the MkII I have. So much so that I am thinking of getting another Ruger so we can have a real plinking gun (no optic sights like I have now). I use my MkII for competition, fun and teaching the kids. I don't think a person can call themselves a handgunner, if they would call themselves that, without having experienced and still using a .22 pistol.
The Doc is out now.
PS, choices, choices, choices - Buckmark, Ruger MkIII, AR-15, Taurus 24/7 S&W M&P. ARG!!!! :banghead: Too many choices, too little pay to get all NOW!!!!

That's the reason I bought Ruger MKll, very accurate and will shoot almost any kind of ammo.
where do you guys find ammo on sale?!(even if its occassional). Only place i could think that would have sales would be a bass pro. But i dont go there often enough to see if they have ammo on sale. And they don't advertise ammo prices on their site. By the way, I live in miami FL.

At one time I was selected to shoot on the Australian IPSC team for a level IV match, so I guess I'm a real handgunner. Most of my rifle shooting is with .22lr, and more than half of my pistol shooting is using a .22lr conversion on my Beretta. I have a CZ SP01 on order - with a .22 conversion unit.
So .22lr is for this real handgunner.

Yup. Besides, a big ego gets expensive. My most recent .44 Magnum handloads are probably 15 years old--if not more. I don't ever expect to load--or shoot--any more, either.
Looks like 23 .22LRs here;
about 2/3 rifles and the rest handguns.

Taking the .22's out is my favorite pastime. When I normally go out to the state land where I shoot I take my 10/22 or marlin 60 and my ruger mk2 and single-six. A box of 500 keeps me going for several hours of plinking and general screwing around. I'm trying to teach myself to quickly fan a SA revolver, why not with the cheapness of the .22lr.
I doubt I could afford to do that with .45 LC or even .38 special.

After i purchased this gun i kinda lost interest in all the others. So now im selling my 44mag Blackhawk and 45LC Vaquero. They are just not fun anymore
Still hanging on to my 1911 though. The real beauty as far as i see it with 22`s is the ability to silence them to the point that you can just drive somewhere remote and fire away.. Without having police helicopters circling over you because someone heard gunfire.
I started out with 22`s, sold them and bought big cf guns.. Now im back on 22`s
(All done legally ofcourse)
