The .22 LR

[k9870]

Love it, have a bit more fun shooting .45acp, but isn't it great to buy cheap ammo and plink away

Who else loves this little cartridge?

Heres mine:


And some very fun targets

Everyone should own a .22- it's better than having an Xbox. Suprisingly, the most accurate rifle I own is a Winchester Model 52 in .22 LR

I have a p22 and it's an OK gun but let me tell you something: if you get one, buy the one with the barrel extension or you won't be able to hit anything more than 3 ft away. I'm dead serious, it's that innaccurate

The walther grip is confortable but sights suck, way too much air between the rear and front alighnments. I prefer a much tighter sight picture.

I accidentally hit the mag release all the time when I'm firing mine

I had a Ruger 10/22 with Tru-Glo Fiber Optic sights on it. It was cheap, easy and fun to shoot, but I essentially traded it for my 12 Gauge. Kinda smart but kinda stupid. I'd like to get another one, or maybe a .22 pistol, but I've got other stuff to buy first.

I also keep hearing rumors that .22 LR will go through Class 2A body armor, is this true or complete bull?

It's probably bull

Ive heard its round construction, barrel length, etc. A rifle lenghth barrel, hardcast high velocit round, close rnage, its possible, but I think unlikely. Wish Boxotrth would test type II

One of the best cartridges ever, specially for countries where bigger cartridges ara banned. Here we´re waiting for this baby, the Sig Sauer 522:
