OK, I've recently gotten into pistol shooting. Yea, I shot as a kid, but nothing serious. Anyway, I've hit the range a few times w/ some of my recently inherited pistols and had a blast, but the ammo cost is killing me. Also it's a pain going to the range because it's a half hour away.
So it dawns on me that a 22 pistol might provide plenty of cheap practice. My dad also had two of those. While I was buying a brick of 22, I saw the air pistols. On a whim, I picked up an airsoft one (shoots 6mm plastic BBs) made by Crosman that is a replica of a Walther P99. It came w/ 100 BBs and this cool gel target that you use over and over. Also, it's a spring job, so no CO2 cartridges.
Tonight, I pull it out and play w/ it in my garage and it's pretty damn fun and fairly accurate considering it cost all of $18.
At 3 yds I can keep all 13 in the 6 inch target without aiming (coming up from the hip and firing), and at 5 yds I can put them all in the target with one hand (for some reason, I'm about as good one handed as two). I couldn't test it further than that as I have a small garage. Tomorrow, I'll take it outside.
