Make sure you use only "High Velocity" rounds in it or it will probably jam all the time and annoy the piss out of you. Revolvers...doesn't matter what rounds you use. .22's are GREAT fun!! You can afford to play with a gun of that caliber...I mean really shoot the shit outta it. Have fun!

Make sure you find one that fits your hand right and comes up easy to site in. As you learn to shoot it will help from developing bad habits that are hard to over come and reduce your accuracy.

I've been wanting a pistol for quite some time now but the damn Canadian laws with owning a pistol are just outrageous. Good luck on finding one that's good for you!

The ammo is inexpensive so you can afford to go out and shoot it and have fun and a good tool for self defense. For accuracy a longer barrel is better and you will have more fun when you are hitting what you shoot at. Take a look at these, http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/browning-buck-mark-camper-semi-automatic-22lr-051482490-023614397663-55-barrel?a=1799438 http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/walther-uzi-pistol-semi-automatic-22lr-5790301-723364201233-5-barrel?a=1821631 The browning has a 10 rd magazine and is a very nice gun. The UZI is a sweet reproduction of the real thing (9mm) and it holds 20rds I would have trouble choosing between those 2.

I have a Ruger single six . It has two cylinders one in .22 long rifle and one in .22 magnum. It is accurate and fun to shoot, I do use it to squirrel hunt with sometimes. If you are looking to conceal carry an auto would be the way to go... Hemps, Leadfinger and TheLastColdBeer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Plenty of aftermarket magazines & accesories. Sheer joy to shoot, although they take a little practice to field strip & re-assemble. Been shooting the same mk2 for thirty years, and it still looks new. Hemps and Leadfinger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

At the club I belong to most everyone agrees the Rugar semi auto work great. I have owned 3 different MK2's. I now just own 1. the only reason I sold the others was someone always offered me more money for them than I paid and I did not need 3 lol. The other excellent gun the club members love is the Browning Buck mart. Both these pistols digest almost any ammo you throw at them. It is amazing how accurate a 22 pistol is. When i was really into the lots of shooting at the club both these pistols sold for $200-275 second hand. these are great pistols to start with.
