I just ordered my first two new guns from Badger Arms today . I was able to get two guns for the price of one here in Nova Scotia ! One is a S&W 22LR semi-auto for pratice and the other is a Norinco NP-20 ,9mm for when I get a little better. Any thoughts on these two guns ??
My first new hand gun's.

A 22 caliber for beginning is a good choice, not expensive, and very accurate. You could shoot a lot, without broke your piggy bank, for the norinco, i not have one, but for the price, i thing is it a good way to start. This my 2cents.thanks
Yes....these are my very first hand guns .I was around many guns back in the day before all these laws were in place.Now I can have my own and see if I still have the EYE's I had when I was younger.Remember.....the match stick trick ! Yes I was hard and we went through a LOT of wooden matches in those days ! Lots of fun on the farm back then !! Thanks for the replays guys . thumper-2

Nice picks.....I think you will have more fun with the 9mm tho
The .22 may not be as exciting to shoot but it's a superb training aid for curing a lot of handgun shooter issues. And many of us find them to be a lot of fun in their own right and not boring at all.
Thumper, which S&W .22 did you get? And you'd better post pictures of your guns soon or else we may be forced to drum you out of the CGN ranks!

Congrats on the new toys. I did something quite similar ... with a S&W M617 and M686. The .22 calibre is a great way to start ... and to learn basic shooting techniques. As someone else said, many shooters like that calibre in its own right. And ... no one can question the economics of the cost of the ammo for yours.
Enjoy the smaller calibre first ... and then move to the larger piece.
