I got a Henry Golden Boy today! Taking it out tomorrow for some plinking.

I actually got it as a gift for my cousin who is graduating as an eagle scout, so I won't have it long, but I'll shoot it while I have it

Nice I need to get a safe so I can stop keeping my guns in my son's room.

yeah, that would probably be a good thing :bustin:

As far as this safe goes, there's definitely no way that I could fit 16 rifles in here unless I took out all the shelves, and that kind of defeats the purpose.
I'm also puzzled by the height at which they put the "racks" for the guns. My 10/22, my VEPR and my double barrel aren't long enough to reach the rack, so they're kinda just leaning on the wall. I think it would be pretty difficult to put more than one scoped rifle in here too.

But oh well, I bought it so that crack heads wouldn't steal my guns if they came into the house for quick cash. I think it will be just fine

I can't believe I just read through that entire list. What a load of bullshit, there's no way in hell any one of those will be banned

if you configure them legally yes. the only part that may be banned is the receiver which is also the only part considered a firearm. but in order for them to be imported the receiver has been destroyed so you have to bend up your own.

The barrels are chopped up and replaced with american ones too if I'm not mistaken. Partly for 922r compliance and for some other stupid import reason

Do you have the right tools to put it together? Where are you getting the receiver from?

One word. Headshot!!

Not even just headshots. Body shots with a .22 do damage too, people have this idea that it's about as useful as a bb-gun but it's completely wrong. It should be respected as much as any other firearm.

It's just like the argument for birdshot. People act like birdshot is complete shit and won't kill anyone, and at a certain distance that's true, but I dare you to stand 40 feet away and take a round to your chest. Shit will still do damage regardless. Either one in a self defense situation is much better than being unarmed.

Id carry a kel tec .22mag if I could find one, and if I could carry...

Yeah Illinois sucks cock for gun owners, I'll never understand why they banned conceal carry... now only criminals can do it and honest citizens cannot. Makes sense.

Yeah, can't really say I'd want to carry a .22lr under any circumstance.

You would rather go with nothing than carry a .22? I'm not saying it's better than a .45 by any means, but it's not useless either.

but why bother? why carry a .22 at all? if i have to shoot someone i want them dead without a doubt

He's saying that he carries it in .45 but has a .22 slide for it also.
Make no mistake, .22lr will still kill a man...

have you shot the bob cat? most of those .22 pocket pistols jam a lot i would never carry anything unreliable like that for self defense.if youre set on a .22 buy the best and get a ruger mkIII or 22/45. but for a dual purpose carry/plinking gun id go with a 9mm or .40 because theyre still affordable to shoot.

Definitely, I don't know what a bob cat is, but I know that if you want a .22lr pistol, you can never go wrong with a Ruger mkII or mkIII.
The Walther p22 has a lot of hate, but personally I haven't had any trouble with it. Only cost me $300 too

Yeah the main reason i am hesitant about getting a 22 is the tiny caliber. But there is no way in hell i would ever want to be in the way of a 22 shell so that puts it in perspective haha. I'm guessing a 22 round to the head would most definitely stop anyone.

It most definitely would. The bullet almost always becomes deformed and "tumbles" in the body too. In most cases there is not an exist wound, the round just continues to tear shit up inside the body. You mag-dump a .22 pistol into someone and I promise they're not going to get back up. Most .22 handguns have small profiles for carrying and it makes it easy to carry extra ammunition with you too. I'm a huge fan of them, but obviously there is a valid argument that can be made for larger ammunition too. My advice is to just shoot one of each if you can and see which one you like the most.

I'm looking to get my first handgun pretty soon. I've done some skeet shooting with shotguns and shot my friends pistols, so i'm not a complete noob. I'm honestly wanting one mostly to carry for self-defense and do some recreational shooting. Should i start out with a small 22 to get comfortable with and upgrade later, or does it make more sense to spend the extra dough and get a glock? My friend has a Beretta bobcat he'll sell me which is a cute little 22, but i dont want to get bored with it immediately. He also has a glock which feels great in my hand, which is why i am interested in one of those.

I would start with a .22 personally. Cheaper to buy and cheaper to shoot and get the hang of. I had a 1911 in .45acp and it was very expensive for me to play with so I ended up selling it about two months later. I have a Walther P22 that I love shooting, and I'm pretty sure if I pointed it at someone for self defense it could handle that too (provided that they're not wearing body armor.)
