The SR-22 is an excellent starter pistol, but,,,
The SR-22 is an excellent starter pistol, but,,,
I am of the opinion that a single-action revolver is better.
This is all based on one thing I saw at a range one day.
The kid was being monitored very carefully,,,
But he kept shooting double-taps unintentionally.
It's a distinct possibility that he was just too young for shooting,,,
But I think it could have been alleviated by a SA revolver,,,
It's impossible to fire a second round unintentionally.
Now having said that,,,
I own Ruger 22/45's, S&W 22A, Beretta NEOS, Browning Buckmark,,,
S&W Models 18, 34, 63, Charter Target Pathfinder, Colt Frontier Scout, Bersa Thunder 22, and a Ruger SR-22.
I would start them on the Frontier Scout,,,
If they did okay handling the gun,,,
The SR-22 would be next.
