What is your preffered plinking pistol - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Wren-Ro 'V' · 04-26-2006, 05:43 PM

Everyone, wel almost, everyone has, their preferred plinking weapons.

Whether your shooting from roughly 15 yards out doors or 50 feet indoors what do you like to shoot--?

Never do I hit the range with less than an arms full worth of ammunition boxes along with my glocks xds and other miscellaneous firearms.

Unfortunately, that is expensive and that makes me plan my range trips a bit more wisely coupled with the fact that the closest range is about 14~ miles away which initially, is a turnoff because of the high gas prices and it is not open on the weekends though the next closest legal range near me is like 22~ miles away sheesh. Eventually, I would like to have a Rough lookin Select firearm to use for plinking (which will probably be a 9mm) Though what are Your pistols of choice?

Danbgerously,
John

Well, I usually bring two or three of my "big" guns when I go to the range, but the one gun that ALWAYS goes with me is my (my daughters, technically) Walther P 22! I can shoot several hundred rounds through it and it only costs me a few bucks. Definately extends the time on line at the range!!!

My Beretta 92F

brian40 · 04-26-2006, 05:56 PM

My XD 40 and Ruger P944. If I want to hit something, I shoot the Buckmark

atmiller · 04-26-2006, 06:15 PM

My XD-40 always goes. Lately I have taken my XD-45 as well.

NevadaXJ · 04-26-2006, 06:23 PM

I usually just take my XD-9, my Walther P22, and my Ruger 10/22. .22 is cheap and plentiful, and makes for some fun plinking...

I typically bring <strike>the hand-me-down bolt action JC higgins .22 and</strike> (oops you said pistol) my Ruger MKII.

JD McDorce · 04-26-2006, 06:45 PM

If I were of sound economic mind, I would plink with my Mk. II Target. Since I'm not, I typically plink with my 9mm Hi-Power Practical.

BBunin · 04-26-2006, 06:47 PM

Like several here, I'll take several guns with me on a range trip.
But the one that ALWAYS goes is my Ruger MkII.
You just can't beat it for all around plinking and target shooting.

Since my wife and I relatively new to shooting, we bring all our guns. lol. I bring my xd40 service and hk USP compact 9mm, and she brings her sig mosquito.

And then we shoot all three.

But even when I go to the range by myself, I bring the .22. Nothing like cheap training!
