I'm a shooter, so I shoot them, some do not get shot as much as others, but sometimes I look in the safe, and say " Hi old girl, lets go on a date " I shot competition for a long time, and many different disciplines, Bullseye, U S Service rifle, NRA action shooting, steel plates, USPSA, Hunters pistol silhouette, precision air pistol, PPC, local tactical pistol, and shotgun, I've done 3 gun, and love it. Of course self defense is where it all started, so I have many carry pistols, from .22 mini revolvers, to .32 small auto's to small .45's both pistol and revolver. 24/7 is a 9mm revolver. I do like to plink, but like to stretch things when I do, it does not matter what I'm shooting, lets see what it will do, like having a 76 Pinto, I got it, lets see how it handles and how fast she will go, or a Corvette, same thing, lets stretch the legs and see what happens. That is a lot of fun and informative, like an SKS at 500 meters, not a target gun, but more usable than you might think, and in the reverse, don't DIS one being used against you thinking your out of range.
Of course right now. the .22rf is King.
