I had planned on dropping a large chunk of change for a nice baitcaster and jigging pole before I go to Canada on a fishing trip next week. But after realizing what I could buy with that money that would give me year round enjoyment I decided against it. Now I am in the market for a .22 pistol. My criteria for it are as follows:
-Semi-auto
-Threaded barrel
-Magazines to be found for preferably under $20 and max of $25
-Not as small as a Walther P22 (I have big hands and the P22 is just a tad small)
-Longer sight radius preferred but not necessary
-Definitely under $400, closer to $300 is more my limit unless it comes with something like 5 magazines
In the future I want to suppress it, that is why I want it threaded. I mainly want this to help steady my offhand shots. I plan on handgun hunting so would like all the practice all I can for cheaper than my .38 special reloads cost me.
Edit: I may have come across a keeper already.
