    Hello!
    I've only been shooting handguns for about 16 months now. Prior to that, I had mostly shotguns and pellet guns.
    CCW class and the recent elections changed that for me. But since then I have taken to it with a small passion.

    My handguns:

    1. Charter Arms "Gator" 38 Special. The grip attracted me because it accommodated all five fingers. It was my CCW class weapon.

    2. Walther P22, .22 semi-automatic. After a few sessions as the range, I realized that the .38 is not a cheap gun to take to the range. 50 shots cost around $18 average. I shot the P22 for over a year, but wished for a gun with better accuracy than it 3.4" barrel could give me. Was lucky to get all ten shots on an 8" target handheld at 7 yards. I recently bought the 5" barrel for it, and have it installed, but weather has been too bad to try it out!

    3. Smith and Wesson SW22 VICTORY. Bought this one for myself at Christmas this year. Wow! LOVE IT! I get 3" handheld groups at 7 yards now. Installed a TK trigger, but again, have not tried it out.

    Never have bought ammo online. Suggestions?

    I get 9mm from octanemunitions. I would also recommend bulkammo.com.

    If you buy in bulk online, you will be getting a lot better deal. For example, click here for 1000 rounds of .38 special for $289. If you shoot 50 rounds at that price, you are looking at $14.50 for 50 rounds instead of $18.

    I got to shoot both of my .22's today. The 5" barrel on the Wather P22 is a real improvement!
    The TK trigger in the SW22 Victory made the trigger pressure about half as strong, as well as a much shorter trigger movement. I think I am seeing an improvement there too, but It's going to take more practice to get it strait.

    Thanks everyone, for the tips on buying bulk online.

    Welcome to BS. I first heard of Schriever about 1975 when I was working in a gravel pit in northern East Baton Rouge. It sounded like all the truck were hauling to Schriever
