First couple of pistols

Recommended Posts

Adding to my list, primarily for my daughter who shot my AR last week and loved it, a Ruger 22/45 Lite.  I'll let her pick the variation from some I'll show her.  From what I see, it's an accurate target pistol, which is how she'd use it... and how I'd use when she not shooting.

 

What pointed me to it was my local dealer.  Said they like it partly because people seem to have few problems with it.  I was worried about endless jams since it's a .22 but he said that shouldn't be the case.    Then I found a bunch of comments in another thread.  Seems to be a recommended choice from enough people.  If I can shoot one before buy I will but I'll probably just buy it. Seems like a decent choice.

 

Newtonian.  Jury's is still out on the revolver.  Eventually, yeah. I'll have one. GP100 looks like agood choice.  But it may not be one of the first 3.  Thanks.

Permits came through today from Manalapan PD. Will pick them up tonight.  Going to ask for an extension when I pick them up.

 

April 28th to June 23rd.

 

Not too bad since a reference of mine took 3 weeks to return the reference form.

 

Off to the shop on Thursday AM.  Beretta and a Ruger .22 (for my daughter to use) are first.  Not sure about #3.  Revolver will be in next batch for sure.  Leaning toward a VP9 for #3.

 

 

Pete, Thanks again for the pistol intro.  And Joe P, thanks for the offer to try out your 96A1 and VP9.  Sry we couldn't meet up.  I've got almost no free time these days.

Had fun. Your daughter (sure its for your daughter ;) ) will enjoy the 22. No recoil and very accurate.

    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
