All the way through this "two weeks to flatten the curve" that's turned into well over a year now:
Why aren't people who have had COVID-19 and recovered recognized and acknowledged as immune? In fact, the powers that be have gone out of their way to imply that recovering from COVID doesn't make you immune - which was easily proven false.
I have no interest in being tested for immunity, but we aren't even hearing anything about those who have recovered. And the goal posts just keep moving- the latest is signs in stores saying "Vaccinated or not, masks and social distancing are required in this store." I'm so over it. There is no way I'm giving in to this nonsense. I'm buying another gun.
What’s next on your list?
I want a .22 handgun to start off my kids with.
I think 9mm might be to much to initiate a 9yo on.
Any recommendations for a smaller frame (but not “pocket pistol”) .22. Revolver or auto?
You really cant go wrong with a Ruger Mk.IV The Mk# series are staples in the .22 world. Very solid gun. Walther also makes a P-22 and it is a great gun too. Probably more suited to smaller hands than the Ruger. Very comfortable grip.
Seconded, I picked up a sweet used MKIII target (fancy grip, thicc bull barrel acting as a compensator) and have used it a few times introducing total noobs to safely operate firearms with great success.
The 'slide' being straight out the back of the bore is a little odd from normal semi auto pistols but the mechanics are essentially the same.
The MkIII target model with the bull barrel is the one my dad has. Super easy shooter, nice and heavy and solid.
In the UK they are allowed to have crossbows.
