Very good stuff so far, thanks guys....the reason why I was looking at the SR22 was also price, my budget is a bit limited now since I also want to buy a small safe to keep it in at home and all the stuff I'm gonna need for the range (ears and eyes). I'm trying to keep everything under $600, hopefully i'll be able to do that. I'm also going to need some sort of lockable box to transport it since I drive a pickup truck, does anyone have that problem? I spoke with a police officer from my town and he said as long as the gun is locked and the ammo is separately locked in the vehicle I should be ok. From what I read on the state police website, they only mention to lock the gun in the trunk and ammo separately from it.

New guy here, So I'm looking to buy my first handgun. One thing I've decided on is that it will shoot rimfire ammo in .22LR caliber because of the price of the ammo is low and I intend to shoot quite a bit with it and I don't plan on buying another handgun for a while (no guarantees on that!). Also I really like the Ruger SR22, if anyone has an opinion on that particular gun let me know please. The SR22 seems to be decently priced, high quality (Ruger!) and it shoots my preferred ammo. My questions for you guys are these: - Will it be hard to find? - Is shopping around worth it or it will be roughly the same price everywhere I look? - Should I consider buying it on the internet (GunBroker etc)? - And if I decide on purchasing on the internet, will there be more hoops to jump through then at a local shop? That's it for now, thanks in advance... RxB

Nice to see guys nearby, I'm probably going to be asking you guys questions regarding ranges (besides the bullet hole which is right by me), shops and so on. Thank you all for welcoming me.
