I need to burn one permit ASAP, but with all recent expenses don't really have money to buy what I really want now, LOL.
That said I think it might be the right time for me to finally buy a relatively cheap 22lr-plinker. After trying different ones I finally came to a conclusion that I am getting Ruger SR22 - looks nice, not really expensive and will nicely fit my wife's hand and (in a couple of years, maybe) my son's hand as well.
The only question I have now (before finally ordering one) is the following - there are two "versions" available in the market now (maybe more but those are the ones I was looking at) - with threaded barrel (SR22PBT, UPC 736676036042) and without one (SR22PB - UPC 736676036004). The latter is normally 15-25 bucks cheaper than the threaded barrel version, but I will be glad to save even this amount now.
So, does it make sense to go WITH the threaded barrel or without it?
I doubt I will ever be getting a suppressor for it (clearly not while I'm in NJ).
Is it legal at all in NJ to have a threaded barrel on a handgun like this? (I guess yes, but just double-checking)
I saw some strange comments on other forums that "threaded barrel version is less accurate than the usual barrel one" - sounds like BS, but I have no real idea on it.
Often overlooked by noob reloaders. A chronograph is very handy to verify your loads are performing as expected.
One could easily buy $10,000.00 worth of reloading gear and components, and STILL want more. I'd love to have one of those high end automated ammo plant presses. Not to reload because I shoot a lot, but because they remind me of a Rube Goldberg device. Like the game mouse trap. It's like the ultimate gadget.
