nmurray10 Report post Posted August 31, 2022 Can I ask, why a starting pistol? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tres Report post Posted August 31, 2022 A few reasons, but for a short answer is: the reason we use them is so the pup gets used to the sound of gun shot, you aren’t shooting lead all over, easy to carry during training. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was my thought. Thanks for confirming it as cheaper. Or watch for sales on the Heritage. I found one on sale for $109 with an additional $20 rebate. $89 not bad for a .22 plinker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nmurray10 Report post Posted September 1, 2022 I was also going to suggest blanks if you already have a .22 pistol as well. The other guys might be spot on with the ruger and heritage 👌🏻👌🏻 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
