Got my Sig Sauer for just under $400.
which model it that? It looks like the whole slide moves, so it probably wont work for me, but ill take a look at the specs.
My wife has her heart set on a sp2022 in 9mm or 357sig.

i have a ruger 22/45 (Mk3) that is fun to shoot (Adjustable sights). the only thing i didnt like about it was the magazine disconnect but i bought a bushing on amazon to remove that. now the mags drop free and fully seats in the magwell easier. only a couple misfires and that was bad ammo. eats everything except the heavier grain subsonic which has FTF every so often but i havent run that with the new mag disconnect bushing yet so it may no longer be an issue. The boy can shoot it no problem.
you can get them in a variety with rails only or with sights, threaded or nonthreaded barrels, also there is the "lite" version.
my dad has a S&W model 22A that he and my stepmom enjoy plinking with. i've never shot it though.
i've heard good things about Walther P22s and S&W M&P 22s as well.

I held one of those today, seemed pretty sweet. thanks for the info on the mag release. I'll keep that in mind.
I held the beretta u22 neos today too. pretty neat feel and pointed very nice, but I'm skeptical

My buddy has a Walther P22.
Shot it a few times. Too small to mount a scope to, but a fun plinkster

The bf's Browning has a scope on it.
They are good guns.
I was thinking of another Ruger but I think I will go with the Browning next time. I passed up a good deal on one a while back and regret it now.

I've learned to shoot with his and I like it. I rented the Sig and liked the way it felt in my hands more. Plus it just looks a little more badass, even if it is pink.

Did you finally get it?

Nope. It's paid for but still sitting at the shop waiting for MSP to finish their paperwork.

Good gosh. My husband got his the day he bought it, I got mine 3 days after I paid for it. What is wrong with MD?

I'm a first time buyer but I thought that you always had to wait atleast 7 days for a handgun.

My husband was a first time buyer, he had his CCW, which may have made a difference. I was a first time buyer, I didn't have my CCW yet, so that may have slowed it down a bit. I was standing there while the guy called me in, got approved, but still had the 3 day waiting period.

Ever since Sandy Hook the gun sales have skyrocketed and MSP is overwhelmed, even with their increased manpower.
Yes, being that a handgun is a "regulated" firearm in Maryland you have to have the MSP background check which normally is only a few days. But, you are correct, with the spike in sales people are waiting upwards of a month for their paperwork to come back.
Also, it won't matter if you were a 1st time buyer or not, every regulated firearms purchase goes through the same process, no matter how many times in the past you purchased.
Good call on getting a gun that fit good in your hands, many people make a purchase based on whether it looks "cool" or because their friend had one and so they want it. A handgun has to fit you in order for you to be proficient with it. At least that's my opinion.
Bay Kat lives in Florida where they do things right. Walk in, pick out what you want, fill out the paperwork and after a phoe call to NICS, you walk out with your purchase.
