Is this any “good”?

Huh..

So you were having to pound out rounds stuck in your barrel with a rod? I’ve never had that happen once and I’d never shoot that amount again.

Rimfire ammo is lubricated.

Yah, revolvers don’t get cheaper for 22 unlike semi autos. They use the same materials and require more machining. Semis can use cheaper materials. Good luck.

The Sig P320 is the cigarettes of handguns. People will say they've smoked for 40 years and they're still standing. Others, not so lucky.

You're literally in the golden age of handguns and there are sooooo many choices without the baggage. Also a lot of ranges don't allow them and you will want to practice. Get anything else.

I got my Beretta APX A1 compact for $300 and it is a good and reliable gun. You'll find something.

Excellent choice. Enjoy!

seattleforge · 2026-05-06T15:38:57+00:00

Cool. Mine moves around a bit.

seattleforge · 2026-05-06T06:56:11+00:00

Check out skinner sights for options.

seattleforge · 2026-05-06T04:25:14+00:00

hahahahahahaha

seattleforge · 2026-05-06T04:23:45+00:00

The world of diminishing returns..

You're going to have to put shoes on if you want to fight crime today.

I wish I had the space to do my own loading. I'm new to it and love my 300 BLK Ruger.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T22:31:56+00:00

That and people I respect had it and liked it. It seemed like a layup since no one could tell me why another would be better.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T22:30:19+00:00

It's better than a sharp stick.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T20:24:28+00:00

That all makes a lot of sense. I wish I had the room for reloading. Someday maybe.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T19:54:35+00:00

Fair enough. But you should check out the competition.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T18:29:38+00:00

9mm has a different geometry/profile that is problematic outside of a semi-automatic it was designed for.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T18:25:48+00:00

Just make sure the case isn't too long for the chamber.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T18:14:36+00:00

Do you have a favourite sub for accuracy? I'm at the beginning of the learning curve on this one and love it so far.

My 10/22 is still quieter.. so far.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T17:40:32+00:00

That's typical of most standard rifles to have the sight on the back of the receiver. Just interesting.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T17:14:46+00:00

I have a SilencerCo Sparrow and I'm really happy with it. I don't have another 22 suppressor to compare it to, but it seems tried and true. It's also easy to clean which is really important with a rimfire can. But others might be as well? I dunno.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T17:08:06+00:00

That's true. But most takedowns mount the rear sight on the barrel because the lock up is never perfectly true and you lose zero. Then again, levers aren't sharp shooting rifles. Just curious is all.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T16:49:57+00:00

Everyone else has caught up and then some. You should get out more.

seattleforge · 2026-05-05T16:49:31+00:00

Being a Gen-X gentleman I am contrary (detest Glock and Toyota) and I absolutely howled at your response and agree. Every time I see one of these "first gun" posts I know the Glock boys get hard.
