Forum: General

My shit state (CA) only allows 21+ people to purchase firearms. I'll be turning 21 in a few months, what should I get as a beginner shooter. Only want one for recreation and self-defence, but primarily for fun so idm weak calibers. I've shot weapons before with my uncles and shit (mostly 9mms and .22s), but this will be my first time owning my very own. Considering the price of ammo these days, should I just stick with weapon systems that use .22 bullets? What type of firearm should I get? What make/model? Please consider my shit state's laws btw if possible.

Cheers

Hello.

Given your preferences for a beginner shooter and the consideration of the cost of ammunition, starting with a .22 calibre firearm is a reasonable choice. .22 LR (Long Rifle) ammunition is generally more affordable and has lower recoil, making it great for practice and skill development.


Here are a few options for .22 LR firearms that you might consider:

Ruger 10/22:

Type: Semi-automatic rifle

Purpose: Great for recreational shooting and training.

Notes: The Ruger 10/22 is a popular and reliable .22 LR rifle. It has various models, and you can customize it with different accessories.


Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22:

Type: Semi-automatic rifle

Purpose: Good for training and recreation.

Notes: This rifle mimics the design of an AR-15 but fires .22 LR, providing a familiar platform for those looking to transition to larger calibres later.


Browning Buck Mark:

Type: Semi-automatic pistol

Purpose: Suitable for both recreation and as a training tool.

Notes: Browning Buck Mark is a reliable and accurate .22 LR pistol. It's available in various models, including target versions with longer barrels.


Ruger Mark IV:

Type: Semi-automatic pistol

Purpose: Ideal for target shooting and training.

Notes: The Ruger Mark IV is known for its accuracy and ease of maintenance. It comes in different configurations to suit various preferences.
