.22LR Is Always FUN!

For the first time in ages, I not only got a chance to get out and shoot, I took my daughter with me. We took a Walther P22 and a Ruger P22. These were hours of fun. We went through 600 rounds, near and far targets. She's a very good shot, very disciplined, patient. The Ruger is solid, accurate with any ammo. The Walther is very picky and shows a marked preference for certain ammo. It didn't like Remington 40gr LRN standard velocity but really shined with CCI mini-mag 40gr copper plated. These are both DA, with incredibly long first pulls. In SA mode both are very light, clean trigger pulls. All my children love their pistols.

Sounds like a great day!

Wish I could get my grandkids back to the 22! Once they started shooting centerfire they don't want the 22 anymore, most will just stay home if I tell them all I'm bringing is 22's. "Grandpa we wanna shoot the big ones".....maybe if I get one set up with a can they will go for it.

definetly the can !!  the .22 in the garage has to be the most stress releaving at a moments notice.. hit a pile of magazine's (paper stack) and some subs at 710 fps i get no beef from the house about making more noise than their girl tv. if only they shared my sentiments. good to go MM!?

Thanks Sketch. My two youngest girls asked for very specific pistols when in their teens. Both got them years apart at Christmas time, kinda of "Hey Ralphie, look behind the couch." scenario. Loved every second of it.
