SACRILEGE!

Will be drinking some ketel one with soda later.. Will need it to get through the in laws.. Lol

Merry Christmas to all.. Eat, drink and be safe!

You're going to have FTF's once in a while with 22.. Doesn't really matter what brand. Rimfire is inherently less reliable due to the design of the round. As HE said earlier, unless it starts happening a lot, I wouldn't worry about it too much.. For the record, I had a FTF (fire) with a Fiocchi 40gr round with my M&P 22.. Has been my only misfire with it, been over 700 rounds shot.. I wouldn't worry about it yet.. Just my opinion

what kind of 22?

Self taught.. My father liked guns before i moved away, but never really owned any (since my mother was definitely an anti when they were still married, thus I had no experience with guns growing up).. I basically shot my first gun ONCE when i was about 14 (after they got divorced) and it was a Marlin 22 rifle. I took about 3 or 4 shots (if i remember correctly) and I was a pretty poor shot, and didnt have a lot of interest in it back then. I was focused more on the sports I played. It wasnt until I moved away from Rochester down to NJ (to live with my girlfriend, now wife) that I even handled another gun, as she had her FID and owns a S&W 640. That said, I never shot it until right about this time last year. New Years Eve day 2012 is when I shot my first pistol, a rented Glock 17 and a Ruger GP100 and also brought the wife's 640. After I fired my first shot with the Ruger (the first gun I tried), I was hooked. I was much better as an adult (more strength and steadiness than when I was 14) and since then, its just been me at the range practicing. Some pointers from fellow board members (gesf) and a few from RO's at the range is the only "training" I have had. It helps when you enjoy doing something and WANT to practice it and become better.

im in... its probably been 3 years since i've stepped foot in a mall anyway.. heh

HAH.. didnt beat my record for a transfer! woohoo!.. (j/k)..

.......and how long were you there?

ahh yeah.. i havent seen those available since the 22 shortage began.. certainly not at cabelas

dont mini mags come in boxes of 100? heh

where do you see mini mags in 375 boxes? lol..

been to AC once in my life (before i lived here), never been to Vegas.. i dont gamble, i dont have enough money to lose on it.. but if you enjoy it, by all means do it.. never played poker in my life, even as a friendly game..

Moved into the Litterbox...

ideally, this would be the obvious choice.. however, the $850 initial year fee hold me back (in addition to a lack of long guns to utilize the facility at this time).. For reference, I believe the pistol/.22LR membership at BA is $250/year

^^^^^^^^ not legal to have a rebuild kit capable of holding over 15 rounds..

I like BA better than SS. SS may have more active RO's, but you ALWAYS have to wait for a lane, and at BA, you almost never have to wait, and they dont necessarily hold you to 1 hour (i've been there over an hour and a half without paying for another hour).. and its larger inside the range and more places to stow your stuff.. i know some people dont like BA because a lot of new shooters go there and sometimes they dont "know" the rules of a range, but I have not really experienced that much of it. I have seen a number of LEO's practicing there.. I've never been to shooters, its too far for me

while trying to break in the new Dawson sights on my M&P22... not horrible, but im not a bullseye shooter yet.. heh

i think he meant the actual grip.. i dont find it particularly necessary to clean the grip (i have rubber grips) and i try to keep the cleaning solution off the grips as much as possible.. then again, i probably havent shot as much as others.. and dude.. boresnakes are great.. i use them on my 22's because getting a rod in there is nigh on impossible i started with a small Otis kit and have bought some individual things as ive gone along.. definitely get a nice box for all of it to keep it together.. i am only using a regular box right now.. need to get myself a tackle box one of these days..

didnt have to bring mine back to the PD either (morpho sent it back, and fairly quickly too), but i did call them and give them the reference number "just in case"

nothing wrong with that, especially if that's the one she liked.. the best gun is the one that is comfortable to you.. (or her).. if she's happy, then you're happy.. heh

they are also very QUIET, so you could realistically use them around your property without the neighbors taking much notice. (not that I am suggesting that)..

this is what i was thinking as well.. the fact that YOU have an M&P shouldnt necessarily mean she wouldnt/shouldnt get one. i love mine, and the wife loves it too. feels good in her hand and she's very comfortable shooting it. i wouldnt rule it out just because you have one. Not only might it be a good idea if she practices using the smaller caliber, maybe she can work her way up to the 9 if she gets comfortable with the style (just a thought)

coming down pretty nicely here in hamilton as well...
