Agreed... Do a price quote here first. Also call a few shops in the area. There are plenty of opinions and plenty of guns that fit your criteria. As far as the SR22 is concerned... It is a very small .22 If you want to hold one and can't find one at a local place, I suggest handling a Walther P22. Pretty much the same size and gun. That will give you an idea of what I mean. I was also interested in the same, until I held a P22, and subsequently an SR22. I found it tiny in my hands and toyish. I eventually wound up purchasing a Smith and Wesson M&P22. It's a full size .22. The same size as the M&P 9. Plus it has 12 rounds magazines, adjustable rear sights, and reversible mag lease which suits a lefty like myself. You'll hear a lot of "you should shoot a few to see what you like best" on here.. And it's true.. Only you know how it feels to you. Every gun feels different, from grip size to weight. Good luck!

I just had the orientation on Wednesday. I can't wait to get my badge this week. I'm curious to know if anyone on here was there in my group. Do any of you current members have any suggestions or tips pertaining to this range? I built 2 target stands for the iron holders and put some stakes on the bottom that swivel so I can plant them inside the 50 yard berm. I thought that easier than building 2 separate stands for my uh...stands

I got mine from S&W. Yup, $32 each. Figured I could spend a few weeks looking for cheaper, but it was worth more to me to have them in hand immediately. It sure is nice going through 3 mags in a rapid fire, compared to 1

Thanks Pizza Bob!

I bought a Beretta 92FS Inox for my first and I couldn't be happier. Handles like a gem. Not 1 FTF or FTE through 400 rounds I also own an M&P .22, and it is definitely a fun gun. It's full size is nice and it comes with a 12 round mag. I ordered 2 more from S&W. It's light and fairly accurate and also has an adjustable rear sight. My wife just picked up a Sig P239 .40 with the Rainbow slide.. And I gotta say.. I'm impressed with the Sig. Not only is the titanium beautiful to look at, It shoots like a monster. It came with night sights, which is a nice touch. Very solid pistol. I can only attest to what I own and I would recommend any of them.... especially the Beretta w/ a Hogue Wrap-Around Finger Groove grip.

Thanks Lunker.. That was my initial guess. Looks like I will be going in for new permits. I assume the OGAM rule still applies? And are you aware of any exemption to circumvent this because they are antiques? I appreciate it

I have a family friend and her husband just passed. She wants to give me his handguns which include a beretta 9mm and 2 antique police guns. A Colt Police Positive .32 and an S&W .32 CTG. I know I need a permit for the beretta, but what about the antique ones? I tried to find a forum on here but couldn't. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks

No one gets issued 6 Permits. And if so, you wasted $6

There are approximately 8,821,155 people living in this state. The unemployment rate is 9.1%. In April, the number of unemployed stood at 417,229 The jobs created by Amazon would roughly come to about .35% of that unemployment. That's a 1/3 of 1 percent. So if my calculations are correct, Amazon just needs to open about 278 warehouses here and they will solve our unemployment. Sorry, 1500 jobs is a drop in the bucket. And in essence will barely do anything to help this state. I'd rather keep 7% of my money.

Respect! Awesome Pizza Bob

I agree.. It's redundant. No need for the whole process. The extra form makes absolutely no sense because it offers up no new information about the individual. It's like filling out your own reference letter.

what the OP needed to agree with on the form, are the same exact things that he would need to agree with on the purchase form at the gun shop when you buy one. Either way they get that agreement from you. Am I remembering correctly?

Ronald McDonald is the scariest with that mustard/ketchup outfit he wears. Not to mention his magical cast of cohorts. Seducing children with their bright colors and goofy behavior, only to act like a kingpin and his pushers. Peddling chemical filled foods to unsuspecting kids. hahaha

No.. I didn't think you were intending that. I wasn't offended , I just felt your choice of words wasnt the best. It's all good. Besides.. I now have a name for my paper targets I will call them... Target

And in the future... I will make an attempt at total forum serenity by being more receptive to negativity posted by others

I don't feel at all sensitive about it. Scenario: Guy 1: man.. I just got my new 1911, I love it!!! Guy 2: buying a 1911 is stupid Guy 1: wow.. thanks for your input I welcome the disagreement, but feel you could have expressed it differently.. like by just saying you disagree. I post that I named my gun in honor of my mother, as a memorial and you call it stupid. That didnt sit well with me. I don't think its stupid. It may not be for everyone.. but the things we do as individuals, the things that distinguish us from each other shouldn't be judged as long as they don't harm or invade on another. Individuality is crucial and should never be shut down.

Don't worry... It wasn't a term of endearment

And clowns

And besides.. dolls are inanimate.. wouldn't naming them play into the hands of the "doll haters"

I don't own dolls buddy, but my guess is that you do. Not the thought police...just don't see a need for you to post saying what others do is stupid.

And the child comment is aggressive and childish in its own right. Have some respect for others.

What makes you an authority to say what is stupid and what isn't? The part of your quote that is ridiculous is saying by naming your gun you are playing into the hands of gun haters. I'm pretty sure the gun haters are more concerned with them being used in crimes and them falling into the wrong hands. To me your arrogance of thinking your negative opinion matters comes off as stupid. No one forced you to post on this thread. If your idea of contributing is calling people stupid, stay off the board. Saying you disagree is one thing...calling people stupid is another.

Like pets

I think eventually I will put nice cherry wood grips on it, then I will switch to stainless accessories. I've thought about the .40 cal too, but in black.

Funny you say that... I am torn.. A part of me is glad it came with the Black... And a part of me really wishes I had the stainless. I do know that I want to put on a skeletonized hammer. Might just buy the parts in the future in stainless
