Thought I would post some pics

Here is my new Smith & Wesson 442

Here I am sighting in the red dot on my new Hi-Point 995

Here is a pic of my Taurus model 66

I'll update this thread with pics of the rest of the family when I take some.

I also have a Hi-Point 995. I have a 642 model S&W Airweight, very similar to the 442 model.

Run away!!!

They're a cheapo .22 auto that come in several finishes.

I had a chrome/teak one years ago to shoot coons in traps. I sold it about 6 years later for about the same price I paid for it.. $50.00

I remember shooting 3 clips of .22's at a squirrel, only 30' away.. He finally left because of the noise.

Mine would only cycle with CCI Stingers, no matter what I did to it.. It didn't like regular .22 shells, and it wouldn't shoot anything accurately. It was a lot better than lugging a .22 rifle around, and at the time, it was all I could afford.

I'm more interested in the shooting bench

Not exactly ultra-light construction, but it looks sturdy. Did you build it yourself?

It is a little piece of garbage I picked up cheap. The reason I got it was that at the time, my wife had never fired a gun before. I wanted something that would be easy to handle and not intimidate her. The little Jennings did not intimidate her because of its compact size. It served its purpose in teaching her to shoot. I broke it a while back and it is out of commission. It is a pain to take apart and put back together. I don't recommend one whatsoever to anyone.

I remember having mine, and making the mistake of buying a Raven in .25 cal. I shot about half a box of shells through the .25 and thinking that the Jennings was more fun and WAY cheaper to shoot.

Now I have neither.. And it's not a bad thing..

Now, that little Taurus looks like it might be fun, though..

Actually it is. My wife liked the pink grips, so I knowingly overpaid for it so that she would maintain an interest. She picked it out, so I forked out for it. She didn't care for it, since it has a stiffer trigger pull than she likes. She loves to shoot the Ruger, Buckmark, and Beretta .22 pistols. I took the pink grips off the Taurus as soon as she decided that she didn't want it any more and put wrap around rubber grips on it. I just wish that I knew that she wouldn't like it ahead of time, because I would have personally picked a different trim for less money.

No, the range has benches there for us. You should see the ones over on the rifle range, they are same style but they are made of concrete! LoL
