Hi everyone
I am trying to plan ahead to future firearm purchases when I turn 21(2 years, 2 months, and 21 days). I may like to eventually get an auto loading high power pistol such as a Glock or 1911 or both. But I am more of a 22 caliber guy. The ammo is cheap and practicing with one will help out shooting a 40 or 45.
Here is my question. What should I get for a 22 pistol?? I haven't been interested in the Browning pistols because they seem to be quite pricing. Are they worth the money? Are they better than a Ruger MII or 22/45? Also, I want to get a 22 pistol with the longer sight radius. I think the 6&7/8" barrel is probably the best for me. I have it narrowed down to the Mark II Government w/ the bull barrel or the 22/45 with the slab side. Please talk me through the options, advantages, disadvantages and mechanical differences between the Government model and the 22/45. Will they shoot with the same level of precision and accuracy? Do you think the bbl Gov. is too much weight to carry for the stability advantage it would have over the 22/45? What about the grips? Any advantages here?
Thanks
