According to the FBI, over 1.5 million background checks on customers were requested by gun dealers to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in December. Nearly 500,000 of those were in the six days before Christmas.It was the highest number ever in a single month, surpassing the previous record set in November. |

the mosquito is a traditional semi auto type pistol while the Buckmark and MK III are more target variants.
My next .22 purchase is going to be a Heritage Rough Rider 9-shot .22lr/.22wmr. I have a bunch of sub-sonics and Aguila Colibris I'd like to pop off in the back yard, and my autos just aren't going to do it unless I pop one round at a time.
I did pick up a nice tricked-out, used Ruger Mini-14 yesterday at the gun show for about half what it was worth. Less than two minutes later a guy offered me $100 more for it but I didn't sell. I wanted to play with it, but it was raining today.
I also saw a few of these at the show:

I'd prefer a larger "zombie slayer" like an AR-15, but I guess it's kind of cool.
The Ruger LC9
I've heard mixed reviews on the Sig, there's one local dealer that swears by them and another that won't sell them, I personally don't have any experience with it. I'm in the market for a .22 pistol too and I've pretty much decided on the Ruger SR22 that just came out. I handled one over the weekend at the gun show and loved it, the guy wanted too much for it so I didn't buy. The SR22 is very similar to the Walther P22.
All three had never fired a gun before, let alone a handgun.
Now all three want to go back to the range everytime its sunny and above 45.
All three are also wanting me to help them pick out guns and go to the CCW classes with them.
What have i got myself into???
Quality control just seems to be lacking for both.

For target practice, my favorite is American Eagle 147grain, which can be heard to find. 115 Gr is also fine, just be aware that it will be more 'snappy' when you shoot it. I like to practice with the heavier 147gr ammo because my carry ammo is also 147gr.
Speaking of my carry weapon I'm so happy I chose the Kahr for carry. I use a Remora holster [remoraholsters.com] (which I love) so it's a comfortable gun to carry since the holster is so versatile. Kahr has probably sold a lot of those CW9's from people at the range that have shot mine and fell in love with it.
More and more people are not only shooting guns, they are buying them. Out of those, many are getting their concealed carry permits. The numbers of Americans celebrating their freedom guaranteed in the Bill of Rights shows up in a recent report by the NRA:
Isn't it nice to know that there are so many law-abiding people around you and that they have proven their status as a law-abiding citizen (something most people don't or can't do!) with a background and fingerprint check from the FBI?
