I know alot about rifles i own a few. just not much about pistols the only one i shot was a .22LR and a .22 mag. But i can handle alot more than a .22. Im not lookin to pull a drive-by nor am i going to hunt with it. this will be ur general pupose "look what i have" pistol. That i could just go out back and shoot for the heck of it.I even know alot about pistol rounds just not the actual pistol.

well that .22 pistol i shot i have shot it since i could remember im an excellent shot with it untill my dad sold it bout 4 months ago. shootin cans at 74n yrds with my left hand (im right handed) was my best shots i could pull of on command.But now im a little older (big boys want big guns) and weigh about 250 lbs with large hands. Besides i got that squirrel thing covered with my grampa's .22LR marlin. And most other game with my brand new (not even a month old)270WSM.I live out in the most remote place possible so gettin robbed or mugged isnt really up there thats the excuse i use against my dad to get me a pistol. Let me put it this way, I would rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

At 15 you really do not need to worry about home protection or self-defense. If it is not for hunting nor protection, then I agree with what others have stated. A Ruger 22lr with a bull barrel will keep you busy for a long time. It will sharpen your skills with a pistol / hand gun. It is cheap and so is the ammo. Also, you might get a little bit further with dad if you talk about targets.

I want somthing that when friends come over i can take out of my bedside drawer and say "look what i just got!" and they will say "wow!, where did u get that?" then i will say "my parents were stupid enough to buy it for me, lets go shoot some shit." and they will say "what kind of shit?" i will mention the nieghbor takes in stray cats and those make some great targets.

That's all the wrong reasons.



A gun, especially a pistol, is NOT a toy to show off or go play with in the yard with your friends - especially shooting at your neigher's pet cats. That's part of why federal law requires you be 21 to own one.



And yes, I've shot cats, but only out of mercy to sick or wounded ones. I really can take or leave them, dogs too, or just about any other pet, but shooting other people's pets is not a good way to make friends in your community.
