That is great for you. As per your statement below, it sounds like you practice quite it bit if you actually compete. To reiterate the points you seemed to miss, first I said faster than 95% of civilians, not everyone on earth. And I HIGHLY doubt that anywhere near 5% of Americans are CASs. Second of all, how much do you spend on practicing? At the very most, I spend about $35 a month practicing with my 10/22, over about 1000 rounds. To shoot 1000 rounds of a combination of .45 ammo and many rifle-caliber rounds, Id be looking at what, $300?

Let me ask you this. If you had to choose a companion to get dropped off with you in a chaotic, anarchaic city, would you choose a fellow skilled CAS with a 10/22, or some random civilian with an AR who says he shoots it every now and then at the range? If you choose the random civilian just because of his gun, then you admit that the amount of practice you must have put in to become competitive in CAS was pointless, and there is no point in becoming truely proficient with a firearm.

hehehe......i get it the jokes on us! for i while i realy beleaved you thought your 10/22 was a combat weapon... good joke! you realy got us good with this one!

[knightRider]

Mr McDonald I can agree with a lot you have said and I dis like all the jeers that are takeing place.
I personaly would be confident with a centerfire rifle and I do understand all you've posted here.
It's very apparent your confident and have became very profisiant with a 22 rim fire and thats good .

I do not have a problem with it and I wish others wouldn't take you to task.
Really true gentleman would'nt do whats going on here.

You've expressed your point's very well and so have others.
So the way I look at it now is whats good for you might not be for others and vice a versa.

Lets all be friends and move on Please...A.H

[knightRider]

ohhhh look i am in a pissing contest .

[knightRider]

OK, I'd like to think that most American full bore shooters cut their teeth with .22's and have gained a fair level of proficiency with their firearms.

Yes, I used to practise a lot. I was very lucky in that Lizzie (Her Majesty to some) paid for a lot of my training. With my current job, I can't practise as much as I used to or would like. I usually go to the Pistol range (50m) every Sunday and the 600m range about once per week, when I'm at home. When practising I never see the point in taking an opened box of ammo home, so I reckon on average, I would shoot, 100 x .22 and 50 x.38/357 for the Pistol range and 50-80 rounds at the rifle range.
I reload for rifle & full bore pistol but not purely on cost. I am also lucky in that I have a reasonably salary, no debts, don't smoke & drink very little, so have a fair bit of disposable income to play with.
Note: I spend half my life away from home and the local police here won't let me play with their AK's & Uzi's, though they alway offer them to me. Well, point them in my direction quite often, not deliberately I think, just that they have no idea of safety.!

Your other question is a bit of a moot point; a skilled CAS or Practical shooter would not turn up with just a 10/22!

But you are correct, their is no substitute for experience (as your girlfriend will tell you)!

[quote=JMcDonald;555238]And, I think people greatly underestimate the .22lr, especially the higher-end rounds. Hell, much beef is slaughtered with simple .22lr pistols, right between the eyes, and their skulls are much thicker than ours. quote]

As any farm kid knows, you shoot a cow between the eyes and they just look at you. it's between the EAR and the EYE.

[wunhunglo]

How do you get the AR's to hang there like that with no visible means of support??

[cold queso]

All that nice hardware KinghtRider, and a little Mini-Me with a .22 squirrel assault rifle in an ugly jeep wanna-be is gonna take you out because he practices scenarios.

In a real situation he'd probably wet himself.

I take the "I ain't EVER going to Africa" approach.

Brown, Black, and Grizzley bears can climb trees, do NOT make the mistake of thinking a Grizzley can't climb.

If in bear territory, a 9mm/.223 just ain't enough. Go big, or be lunch.
