WTB Cheap .22 range pistol under $350

[VGM837]

As title indicates I’m looking for a lower cost range pistol. I’ve started getting better at the range with my 9 but want to practice for cheaper. I’m thinking a TX22, M&P22, Mark IV etc. so something “full” size.
TRYING TO STICK UNDER 350 with transfer. located in Henderson.

I would recommend a S&W 22-A they are full size and pretty accurate pistols and you can normally find one for $300 or even less but you may have to do some looking around. Another good choice would be a lower end Browning.

DGS has some a hair over your price point, like 360/370 if you have the wiggle room

If possible, get something otherwise identical to your 9mm, so you are not changing your grip and sighting for a totally different platform. If you have an M&P 9mm now, an M&P 22 makes sense. Glock 19, get a Glock 44. Again, if possible.

Tozan brings up the 22A.. I have one and shoot it a fair bit, but it is pretty different than all my 9mm pistols, so I'm not sure training with it helps me much when it comes to the 9mms. It's more of a target pistol. It is accurate though, and has a nice rail for adding a pistol scope to it, which helps tremendously in the accuracy department.

I’m carrying a Taurus G2C, I was really aiming for the Tx22 but the shop I went to sold it the day before. I’m really practicing trigger pull, flinching etc.

Practice with dummy rounds. Especially useful if someone else can load your mags for you. Have them insert dummy rounds randomly into your mags, so you'll catch yourself flinching when you're expecting a round to fire and it doesn't.

Practice long, slow squeezes of the trigger such that it surprises you when it fires. Eventually the flinch will work itself out, but it takes time and practice.

Me personally, I'm not convinced that practicing with a .22 helps correct flinch as you know in your mind it's a .22 and know that you don't "need" to flinch. Part conscious, part subconscious.

What is the issue with the Glock? I have one and its a great little pistol that is virtually identical to my G19 in basic handling.

Idk if it’s just the dummy rounds I used but for some reason my G2C won’t feed them.

I have a bunch of snap caps, as well as a bunch of fired cases with new bullets crimped in (no powder or primers). If you know anyone who reloads, you can have them make some for you.

I’ve heard they have issues with ammo. I want something that’ll eat pretty much whatever I feed it. I specially with times like rn where I can’t pick what I find lol.

I need to make more shooting friends. Right now it’s just me and my brother. I didn’t touch a gun until about just a year ago.

It's .22LR, that doesn't exist! LOL! Mine has around 700 rounds of Mini Mags & Automatch with zero issues. Some guys have had random issues and others run on anything. I suspect part of it is keeping it clean (mine hasn't been cleaned yet. Shooting for 1000 rounds before I do) and some guns appear to need some break in time. Watching some of the other forums the reports of issues have all but faded away. YMMV.

Mr Pawn isn't open on Sunday, other than that, I would call on Monday to check their hours. If you have a CCW, you fill out the form but it is kept on file, it won't be run.

I have both the G2 and TX22 and you might be better off getting the M&P 22. I have never fired one, but, I think it is closer in size and the trigger may be closer in function to your G2C than the TX22 which has an entirely different trigger mechanism. On the other hand, the extra capacity of the TX is really nice at the range and extra mags are not that pricy.

Well let me say for everyone here, welcome aboard. It's always a good thing when new folks join the ranks of us gun owners and shooting enthusiasts. Hopefully you can bring more of your friends and family along as well!

The Glock 44 is ‘ ok ‘ if you plan to practice drawing and mag changes and you already have a belt rig setup for a Glock 17 or 19.

I bought one the week they came out, it ran flawless for 4,000 rounds. Then it blew the extractor and split the slide.
Sent it back to Glock on a Monday morning, the following Monday fed ex delivered me a replacement pistol.
Only 400 rounds thru this one. No jams, shoots a bit tighter groups than the first.

Very disappointing for the price, but Glock covered it. Just sucks knowing next time it happens it will be out of the warranty period most likely.

Glock perfection....but only for one year.

Glock regularly replaces parts on pistols well over 1 year old. Take a Glock to a GSSF match and they will practically rebuild it on the spot at no charge. I hear Ruger has a similar policy but of course you need to send the gun to them. No idea on Taurasus warranty.
