Aquila
.22LR
Glad I found this forum!
I have been until this year a 'once in a blue moon' shooter. I have enjoyed it immensely every time, but oportunities came seldom. First time out was in college with my brother and his ruger 22 rifle. The next time was a couple years ago getting a shotgun lesson with hubby and friend. The gun was some gorgeous over under 20 gauge. Don't remember the maker. I wasn't hitting anything because my dominant eye isn't very dominant. But! I was the only one who didn't go home with a bruise and I still had fun. I may get into shotgunning later since I enjoyed it so much.
This year my adult son asked if he could get a gun. I said 'only if I get to shoot it too'. His Glock 21 is loads of fun but the ammo is rather spendy and the slide is a bit difficult for me to manage (I'm pretty small). I wanted to get into shooting too, so at the gun shop I asked for easy to operate and cheap ammo. I fingered a few different options but the one that felt really good in my hands was a 464 22lr. I notice I tend to gravitate toward 'cowboy' guns.
I pick it up on Tuesday!
