So, its late on a Sunday night… I should be in bed… but I’m not.

I’m trying to decide which gun I should purchase. I have it down three.

Granted, I’ve never held the Kadet. I have held a .40 caliber version of the CZ 75 which is the same size and weight (actually, the .40 is .2 lb lighter than the Kadet). I like the size and weight of the gun and it looks more like a regular gun. I also like the fact that it is similar to the other so that if I decide to upgrade later to a larger caliber weapon, I can go with a CZ 75 and it won’t be much of a change. What I don’t necessarily like about the gun is that, at around $450, it is a bit more than the other two that I have been considering and that I cannot find a store that has one in stock around here. (I’ve only checked two places so far, though.)

I like this one as well – mainly for its size and cost. Sportsman’s Warehouse in Lexington has this for around $270. Its fairly comfortable to hold but I do not really like how its looks. I know looks shouldn’t matter, but this gun just doesn’t scream “pistol” to me.

I found this one at Guns Inc. here in Richmond, and also at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Lexington for around $230. The gun is very affordable, which is good. As with the Browning, I’m not too fond of the looks. A feature of this gun is the built in rail mount – but that also detracts from the pistol look that I like. I believe that this gun and the Browning are more of a target pistol than the CZ is.

So those are the three guns I’m looking at. They are all .22’s. Why do I want a .22? There are a few reasons…

Ammo is way cheaper
I haven’t really shot very much in my life. I’m not new to guns, but I’m not very experienced with them as I’d like
I want to work on my accuracy
Price is better comparable to the larger calibers (The CZ is close but factoring in the ammo expense its a better deal still, in my opinion.)

Anyways, thats really all I can think of at this time. I’m gonna go to sleep now. Leave comments and let me know what you think.
