Recently received my PAL. Looking to buy a rimfire rifle and a 9mm pistol. Both will be used for punching holes in paper. I only have the cash for one at this time. Which would be better to start with? Any recommendations for particular models to check out or avoid?
Thanks
Not that I really needed another expensive hobby, but I was in your exact position not long ago. I initially went with a Mossberg 17HMR rifle. Cheap, accurate, better ballistics than a .22, and a great platform with which to learn & hone your skills. A buddy of mine has a Savage 17HMR & it's great too.
I got my S&W M&P9mm a few months later. Tons of fun, but significantly more expensive - both the gun and the ammo!
I'm in the process of building a long(er) range .223 rifle now. Who knows what will be next...
My goal in life is to become the kind of man my dog thinks I am...
Man don't fall in the same trap every firearms lover on a budget does, buy the .22 first.

Hello andto CGN enjoy the site
Welcome aboard. Get a 22, fun to shoot cheap.
Definitely go with a .22 first.
My first (and still favorite) .22 was a Remington 597. Very much a jack of all trades, it isn't necessarily "the best" at anything, but it's good at everything. The basic models come in right around the $250 sweet spot, too.
Thanks for the input everyone. I've been looking at the CZ 452 Lux and the Ruger American Rimfire in .22lr any thoughts on these?
What do you mean by this? Is there something wrong with .22?Originally Posted by Machinegon
No, he means dont go buy a pistol, thats typically twice the cost of most 22lr, and then struggle to afford ammo for it, buy a .22 that is cheap to feed.
If you are looking at a CZ 452 your prices are a bit more comparable though, my .22 was only $210+tax
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I read the post again and it was clear as day.
