Ok, I know harshest recoil and .22lr prob don't belong in the same sentence must be considered w/ a grain of salt, but I am looking to buy a .22 to get some cheap trigger time in and need some advice. My main problem shooting is taking my eyes off of the front sight and flinching when I move up in calibers (and by up in calibers, I mean anything above a .22). I can keep the sights perfect when dryfiring at home, but w/ live rounds I begin to pull my shots from flinching. However, the .22 does not induce flinching in me, so I am able to hollow out a target w/ it when I shoot w/ it. I want a .22 for cheap plinking anyways, but this makes me wonder about its usefulness as a training device for me.
I am not concerned w/ a 'target gun' for competition, more just looking for some cheap training rounds. . So I would like the .22 I buy to have as much recoil as possible for me to train against. In a perfect world, I would get something that shot rounds that are cheap like the .22, and kick like a .45 at the same time. I know that this is not possible, but you see what I am getting at. Basically, I want as much recoil for as cheap as possible.
I know that just good mechanics and fundamentals when shooting the .22 should transfer over to the higher calibers once they are committed to muscle memory (hopefully). But I figure the more closely my training my mimics the 'big guns' the better.
I assume that the key determinants of the recoil are the same as most other guns, weight and length, so I have been looking at the little pocket berettas and 4" rugers w/ synthetic grips (less weight), thinking they might kick more than a full size ruger, buck mark, etc.
The main requirements are:
Under $250
and
As much recoil as possible
Somewhat reliable
Things that would be nice:
A revolver (i just think a .22 revolver would be cool)
If a pistol, something that has a thumb mag release / drop free mag (to be able to practice reloads)
So,are there there any guns like this?
