I have a Smith & Wesson Model 41 22cal target pistol. It's fun and cheap to shoot and extremely accurate. It shoots tighter than any pistol I have ever shot and fits my hand like it was custom made. Not composite but for plinking and steel targets it is awesome.
Ruger also makes an awesome 22 target auto. The Ruger Mark 3 but neither of these are what I would call budget models

Agreed, but unfortunately, many of those who think they've got the most experience with firearms tend to have the most negligent discharges.

Just picked up another Buckmark on Friday. I like them as well.

Re: 9mm composite?
Just curious, why composite? I've had both, and I like them all, but I think there may be an accuracy advantage with an all steel pistol. The Sig Sauers are very nice, I had a beretta that I really liked, and shot well.
I have a USP40 that I would be happy to let you give a go. I can't squeeze the accuracy out of it that I could with other pistols, but I can put any kind of ammo through it without a jam, which is a good thing.

Re: 9mm composite?
I think that's a legitimate question. If I try to list off all the advantages of a polymer frame they all seem to be related to ease of carry, extreme conditions, and rough handling. Target/plinking pistols on the other hand tend to lead a privileged existence where they are carried to and fro in a padded velvet case, cleaned regularly, never dropped in the mud/sand, and never pressed against a sweaty hip for days at a time. I can't really think of any reasons poly would be a stand-out for a target gun. I wouldn't disqualify it, but I wouldn't make it a selection requirement. Poly frame pistols do have their downsides. Lighter = more felt recoil. That would be a pretty good reason to NOT consider it for a target pistol.nwbobber wrote:Just curious, why composite? I've had both, and I like them all, but...

Re: 9mm composite?
We use Bullseye in Tacoma and they have a very good selection of rentals. But if you bring your own ammo, you have to pay an extra $5 for the range fee. My wife loves her 9mm Springfield XD and it groups very well. However, because of the light weight of the composite, it kicks like my 45.

I was going to post this video too! One of the worst misconceptions about gun handling is that law enforcement officers are firearms experts... there are exceptions to the rule, but generally most cops only fire the 25-50 rounds per year necessary to qualify.Pez7378 wrote:Agreed, but unfortunately, many of those who think they've got the most experience with firearms tend to have the most negligent discharges.
