Time for my 2nd handgun, what caliber

[DPNJ 3]

Waiting on a new set of Pp's, so using this time to determine what caliber I may want. I have a 9mm , on one hand I'm thinking I should get another 9mm this way I don't have to search for different ammo all the time. 9mm is pretty available. On the other hand I'm thinking let's try something new, maybe get used to the recoil of a different caliber. Any suggestions on how you guys decided if you have ever made this decision

For the sheer amount of practice you can get done, a .22 pistol should be in your mix.

 

After that, buy them for how you intend to use them. Night stand, concealed etc.

+1 on that. .22 is about the only ammo "easy" to find and is a lot cheaper...for now. However, I have two 9MM handguns thinking that 9MM will always be around because of government use,etc.Also, I figured having one caliber would be easier to keep track of. However, 9mm is getting hard to find. I knew I should have went with my gut and got the .40 S&W (XD40). I see that ammo at Walmart's all the time...$26 for the 100 value pack of Winchester. Anyway, that's my take on it...

i would recomend a 1911 in .45... a .22 is not a bad idea also

38/357 revolver

+3 on the 22lr. You know where I stand. I emptied a box of 22lr through the two 22's and great fun. Best part about it, you can really make it work for you, and improves your shooting.

I have 3 pp's on the way. One is slated for a 22, either a Ruger Mark 3 or a Buckmark, depending more on how much $$ i have at the time as I would prefer the Mark III. The second will probably be a 1911. The third will be for my discretion, possibly a 380, possibly a revolver, or whatever else I stumble upon.

.22 is the way to go for a fun shoot. Since I got my 22A I shoot 2-3 times as much .22 ammo as I do 9mm

 

For the money its just hard to pass up.

[Malsua 1,422]

either a Ruger Mark 3

 

I love my Mark 2. I've been shooting a Mark II for 25 years(step dad). I bought my own in the early 90s and have only had to add a Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor to it after it started to stove pipe once in a while.

 

It's a great gun. I added a red dot scope to mine and it's really accurate. I love it.

After the .22 and the 1911 I'd go with a nice revolver. If you are not into wheel guns do you have any interest in glocks? They make some nice .40 cal. I like that round, its not big, not small. I have the Glock 27 in .40 Although I dont care for the gun (too small), I like the caliber.

Any caliber you choose will be the right decision. Can't go wrong with any of them. Whether you want a wheel gun, wonder plastic or 1911 type, as long as your happy then your a winner. Let us know what you decide.

Not sure on prices, yet. GSG had a prototype of it at the Shot Show.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

I wish I had your problem

too many permits and money to burn!

 

Instead I got no permits and I'm dead broke.

[1911Fan 1]

I would say you must add a 357 Magnum Revolver - Everyone has to have at least one. I would go Ruger over the Smiths with a lawyer lock, but everyone has their preference.

Then I would make it an immediate priority to get a good quality 1911 and a quality .22 conversion kit for it, but you knew that was coming from my screen name. (I will be happy to talk 1911's if you have any questions BTW-just pm me)

 

Happy Shopping!
