Check out Buds gunshop online and he has good deals on ATI AK 22 rifle that would be good practice for an AK rifle system. Also go look online for ammo, or just put it in the safe until you find online what you really want. Ruger is good for CCW but the .380 is a very expensive round right now. Just my .02
 
you cant live without a 10/22, ammo is cheap shooting is fun. my next choice wouldve been the .308, after getting your ruger look into relaoding ammo its cheap and you can shoot way more for the money you spend.
 
Ive read lot of comments about the 10/22, i dont know why people claim to have issues, i have ran about 10k rounds with my rifle and i have only cleaned it twice, the rifle hates certain ammo but loves cheapo value packs from federal it eats those federals like pez dispensors.
 
Reloading is great, if you shoot a lot or shoot a lot of rare
or expensive calibers. I wouldn't bother trying to load for most semi-auto handgun calibers, as they are relatively cheap to begin with in stores. Not only that, if you don't plan on going that often, you'd be spending $3-400 easily on equipment and supplies just to save a couple bucks down the road.

I load for magnum handgun and any rifle larger than .30-30 save the .30
carbine, since it's hard to find for me. I like paying $12 for 50 .44 mags instead of $35. I wouldn't buy all the dies and components to make 50 9mm for $9-10 instead of $12 at the store. You also have to figure in the time spent.

Get your guns now while you can. You need the gun before
you need the ammo. If you have your heart set on the lcp, get it. If not, I'd suggest saving up for something more.
 
Just to clarify, all I mean is that most would rather have the gun and need ammo than to not have the gun.

It's easier to go out and buy a box of rounds.
 
obliged to agree with others who suggest a Marlin 60, and you will have enough left over to buy a few bricks of ammo to go with

everybody needs an affordable 22

(and you will not have to gamble on "luck of the draw" inherent to the Ruger 10/22 choice... I have never seen one yet that shot half decent out-of-the box, although some here obviously have... there is a reason they make 10/22s easy to rebuild)
 
I'm not sure why you'd be asking us; only you can prevent forest fires, after all. But if you aren't sure about the purchase of your next actual firearm, then opt for ammo -- something that you can always use.
 
Consider a few steel targets.
