Range Toy?

[loupav]

I can't help it ask, but do any of you guys have a range toy pistol that is just for fun? I shoot my HK45 in classes and for serious practice, but every now and then my Walther P22 comes out for 100 rounds of 22 and I call it a day.

I know my P22 is a POS, but I like shooting it! Anyone else here have a "Range toy?"

Beretta Neos is a fun plinker.

My SA 1911 TRP, and my GSG 1911-22 are my range toys.

[F-Trooper05]

No range toys for me. If I wanted one I'd pick up a 1911, but the cost of .45ACP makes my dick soft.

1911 to bad I cant afford to shoot it...

[Kokopelli]

Yep.. 9mm SA 1911 P19134LP IIRC.. Same configuration that I carry and cheaper to keep in practice.. Ron

I have a pair of Ruger Mk II pistols; 6" bull barrel and 8" slab-sided barrel. I have had the 6" almost 20 years, and have shot it more than anything else in my safe. While they are not "defensive" weapons, I still would not call them toys. But they are fun.

I consider the guns that I own but don't train with for serious purposes basically range toys. My 1911, SIG P228, Garand, Swede Mauser, and 1903A3 will probably never be used defensively, in training, or even to hunt as long as I own them but I like to take them out once in awhile. It's also fun to let new shooters demo them.

rrrI used to own a lot of different kinds of guns just to have them. It was fun and they were all cool in different ways. After awhile I realized that I'd be better off selling most of those and buying training, ammo, and backups of the guns I actually use. The ones I keep as range toys are either too cool to get rid of or have some sentimental value.

This. I also consider some of them "hard currency" in the event things ever get really bad. Since I don't currently hunt, this one qualifies:



I need it like I need a hole in my head, but it sure is fun! Same for this one:



Probably the funnest one I own.

My 99 1/2 year old P08 Luger is a fun range toy, everyone wants to shoot it. Fortunately it cycles well with cheap Federal Champion 9mm and only one broken part after thousands of rounds fired since I bought it in 1975.
