I bought my 21 yo son a new .22 pistol for Xmas this year. Now he can compete with his older brother that got one for his birthday. He decided on a Ruger Mark IV (no pics of that one yet). That got me motivated to get out and practice a bit with my own. I haven't shot this pistol in a few years, almost forgot how fun it was to plink with a .22 as I am usually shooting larger calibers.
It took a few shots to warm up, but then started doing pretty well. I will be visiting them next month and I'm sure we will have a day at the range. I think they had better practice up too! This is 30 shots at 10 yards.
This is my Browning Buckmark Sillouette (10 inch barrel) model in .22 caliber rimfire. They only made this model for a few years. At one point this model won several olympic matches.
It has a very nice trigger, it is currently set to 2 lbs. 3oz (.992 kg). That's a little light for some folks, but I like it light on a target pistol such as this. For carry or hunting guns maybe a little more firm at around 3lbs or so.
I think he is going to the range today as well. I'm looking forward to seeing their targets and shooting in person with them next month!
Enjoy!
