I want to get my 11 yr old a .22 semi pistol that he would be shooting paper and maybe some light steel targets at. Any recommendations that others have gotten their kids. I was thinking about one of the Ruger target pistols that they have on the website. Any sugestions.

Maybe a Sig Mosquito? -
I's akip the Mosquito. I despise Ruger thanks to their prior work to push for the 94 AWB and lobbying for a large capacity magazine ban, so they're out.
What about a Sig Trailside?Comment

My daughter, 11 yrs too, enjoys shooting my Mosquito. For a Recreation pistol, it's great, punching paper, hitting fruit and soda cans.Originally posted by Colonel David Crockett

any of the rugers would be great. They are not the same company as they were before politically since junior took over. Case and point is the SR556. Never would have happened with senior at the helm. Mosquito is not bad and I am sure your kid would like the looks of it better than a ruger MKIII. Be aware that they are more picky with bulk ammo.Last edited by vta; 01-02-2010, 4:14 PM.Comment

I dont think Sig makes/imports the trailside anymore...I pledge allegiance to the Eagle with the MP5 of the United Police States of America, and to the fallen Republic which once stood, the New World Order under our new overlords, divided, with tyranny and injustice for all.

Politics aside, the Ruger is a good 22....
I don't care for the Mosquito...
I have an old Hi-Standard that is a great 22, but it's not for sale...sigpicComment

Ruger Mk II or III is a good choice.Originally posted by luchador768Comment

I would check out the Beretta Neos and the Walther P22. Both have pretty small, kid friendly grips.Originally posted by bigbob76Comment

buck mark... with maybe a Tac-sol barrel...
Greebo, as a matter of feline pride, would attempt to fight or rape absolutely anything, up to and including a four-horse logging wagon.

I bought two 45 and then a 9mm. For my first .22, I got a Mark III and really like the way it shoots. Believe it or not, the Ruger is my first .22Rudy N

Ahhh... Its time to let go of that.I despise Ruger thanks to their prior work to push for the 94 AWB and lobbying for a large capacity magazine ban, so they're out.
Bill Ruger is dead and the company now makes and sell guns that use hi (standard) cap magazines now and Ruger includes those mags in sales to the free states
The Ruger 22's are excellent pistols for any level of shootersigpicNRA Benefactor MemberComment
