Yesterday my wife and I purchased my first firearm. I have been obsessed with the new Ruger SR22P. I normally shoot at Shore Shot but never knew about Brick Armory. My wife and I were going to head to Shore Shot to rent when we decided to check out Brick Armory. I went in there and saw they had a Ruger SR22P. So I asked to see it. I instantly fell in love. I am a short guy at with small hands. So this fit nice. I think the larger grip will feel better as its still a bit small but it really felt nice. I was surprised at the heft the little sucker had.

 

Now I will post more detail in the Range and Shop forum but I just have to say the folks at Brick Armory are really nice. Very helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable. They blow Shore Shot out of the water in customer service. They are a little more pricey with the range only because they dont offer the NJ Gun Forum discount.

 

I wish I can post pics but I did not get to take it home. I filled out the paperwork. They called into NICS but ofcourse NICS was down. I ended up paying for it and they let me shoot. So the wife and I got to send 150 rounds down range. They comp'd the range fee so I just had to buy ammo. When we were finished it was almost 6 and NICS hadn't called back and they closed at 5. They said they would call with the approval in the morning Monday so i could just swing by after work to pick up the firearm.

 

It's definitely a fun little gun. We ran CCI mini mags and American Eagle through it without a problem. I will post pics tomorrow night once I get home with it. I was definitely bummed when they took it from my hands to lock up in the safe

Congratulation on the new gun, might even try some Federal Bulk 525 packs through her, they work well in all my 22LR's, both Hand and Long Guns and can often be found for very little coin.

Congrats on your new purchase.

Nice choice

congratulations! nice that the wife enjoyed it too! looking forward to see pictures!

Damn, I'm jealous.... :wild: My wife and I are still waiting for our FID and P2P's. From the call we got about 20 days ago, it should be any day now, in fact I just ordered 2 safes today to be sure we have those installed before the firearms ever come through the front door. But I'm right there with you as far as Ruger, I've really focused in on the SR9, but I guess that I still have time to change my mind if something else catches my interest. So congratulations on your permits and purchase, I hope to join the ranks very soon! Looking forward to the pics!

I am so juiced up!!! Very happy!! Now to order some bulk ammo instead of paying $17 for 100 rounds LOL

Congratulations on the new gun. Now pick yourself of at least 3 more mags and you can come out and shoot steel and OBRAMS..

Congrats! Very nice looking pistol. Even has adjustable sights.

Is the safety on the side : down - safe / up - fire ??

Have any issues accidentally engaging the safety? I have never shot one, but it's right about the spot I'd rest my thumb.

I might just do that Harry!

That is correct. I haven't had any issues although I have only put 150 rounds down range with it. It takes some force to push it down.

I might just do that Harry!

 

Cool, steel match this weekend at OBRPC...

Oh man that safety is gnarly....

Very nice

Nice choice Twospot!

I'm gonna get some time in at the range to get used to the gun so maybe next month I'll give it shot. I never shot outdoors nevermind steel targets. Sounds like a blast! The cliches were all unintentional LOL

Honestly, bring it Sunday and get used to it there. We shoot from a table, no run-and-gun for this event. Three mags would be enough if you have someone to help load the empties. Heck, if you are good enough three mags is more than enough!

 

Very simple competition. I am always bringing out new guns to shoot at these events. You control the pace, no one else. You can chose to hit all 5 plates with a million shots if you want to, or empty one magazine per stage. If you don't care about the score (I never do) just get used to your new gun and be safe!

 

I'll be bringing-out two new (to me) guns to get used to myself.

Thanks for the info. I also have my daughters this weekend. I get to see them only 8 days a month (the one downside to divorce. At least in my situation). So I take that time very seriously. If I didn't have them I could have been persuaded VERY easily to go LOL. My current wife and I have it setup so every other weekend we are totally kidless. If it was next weekend I'd be there.

I'm so up on the SR22 and seeing your pictures makes me even more excited. Can't wait to get one! Nice choice
