East Alabama Ruger Rimfire Match

Deleted · #1 06-30-2011, 10:25 PM

I shot in Saturday's rimfire match and had a blast.

Didn't do to bad, i took my M&P 15-22 and shot it.

So know i'm looking for a .22 pistol any suggestions?

Man I wish I could have been there Saturday, but I was out of town. I haven't been able to use my tricked out 10/22 yet...

Today I had to choose between shooting pistol or rifle

If I didn't already have the Mimber slide, I would buy a GSG. I came close to trading for one when I was having issues with the Mimber slide. I've heard a lot of good things about them, and I've inspected one at the gunshop. I was very impressed with it. They do lock back on empty, unlike the Kimber.

I started out using a Buckmark, but it does not have a natural point of aim for me like the 1911. So I had to align the sights every time I aquired a target, which really slowed me down.

I was looking at the Browing 1911 .22, price isn't that bad a lot cheaper then the Kimber .22.

i'm going to Nothside tomorrow to see my buddy Tim and see what kind of deal i can get.

Maybe we have a chance to met at the IDPA match next weekend.

Yesterday i went to the gun shop, and my friend showed me the GSG 1911 .22 and it felt like a real 1911 in my hands.

The Browning and one other he showed me felt like a plastic toy.

They want $368 for the GSG. but right know all gun buys have to be ok'ed by the boss I've been laid off for the past 2 weeks so she's a frim grip on the money, waiting on a phone call to see if we get go back on the 5th.

I hear ya...money is tight my way too right now, and I'm about to send my second kid off to college

The only way I can afford to get enough trigger time is by practicing in the backyard with an Airsoft 1911.
