When I got mine I just took the written test for my temps then got a part time job at a towing company that had light and heavy duty wreckers so I could use their truck for the test. 

No contacts no rental fees and could quit whenever I wanted.

An SR22 or S&W 22 compact seems to be the best semi auto approximation of a true training gun for their bigger brothers, but they're pickier about bulk ammo... 

This not true. I've both and thousands of rounds thru them. Clean it once in a while and add a drop of oil where it's supposed to be and it'll shoot whatever you put in it. 

This is true with many of the P22 and Walther series pistols. Not the SR22.

Hundreds of thousands of 22 auto pistols have been sold, yet 22 revolvers are pretty uncommon.  It's party because double action and rim fire is not a great combination...it has to do with the spring pressure needed to accommodate the surface area of the firing pin.   That Taurus 94 I mentioned above was pretty good in SA, but wasn't as enjoyable to shoot as any of the 22 autos I've owned.   

Have you fired any of the 22 single action autos like the Buckmark, Ruger I-IV or 22/45, Smith 22A/S, Smith Victory?  These are all accurate and crazy fun.

I have a S&W 22S that's had something like 25-30k rounds through it.  I clean it about every 1k.  It's my favorite range toy.     

 

 

This all day long. There's a reason there's not much to choose from. 

Again have you actually used one or just think they sound good? 

As Tony said the Buckmark series. 

As I said the SR22. 

Both superior in every way to the Heritage. Both meet all 3 of your wants. 

Both are affordable. 

Both are a better training tool for your kid. 

If you insist on the revolver the Taurus as Tony said is a far better choice. 

Chippawa makes one too, budget minded yet still better than the Heritage. 

The problem I've found with teaching people anything, shooting and kids included, is nobody learns when there's not an interest or enjoyment. 

You will lose both of those key aspects trying to teach anyone to shoot with the Heritage and likely any single action revolver. 

They will shoot all day long with an SR22

Like???

I want 3 things out of any gun:

- reliable.

- low maintenance (i.e. doesn't mind being run dirty, or it's pretty damn simple to clean) 

- accurate for its purpose (i.e. I don't expect much from a subcompact), but I would like a plinker to be good with open sights.

Of the 3 things the Heritage only meets #2 simple to clean. 

There are better brands than Heritage that are still well under Ruger prices 

You can get your cdl easily without a trucking company school and contracts. Those are traps. Please don't do that. Most vocational schools offer it for substantially cheaper. Also you don't need school either. You can go get your temps just as you did for car and motorcycle and most testing sites rent you a truck for the driving test. You don't need to sign a contract with a company

WTF? 59+ people dead, 500 people injured..  We've got to catch this shit before it happens.  What would you suggest.???

 

Eliminate gun free zones and eliminate ccw restrictions. If one can legally purchase and own a gun he should be able to carry that gun wherever and wherever. That's a start.

Dang, I thought I was one of those people. That Tristian guy bumped me out didn't he. I hate that guy.

IP has boatloads of one piece in the 500 range. Might at least help narrow down the size. Sizing sucked, I tried on 3 of them before I got it right. Still lose in the hips since I dont have any but zipped together the jacket holds it up.

 

You need a Dianese suit. They're more suited to meth abuser body build

The rest of us get to enjoy the view 

I have a size 44 suit for sale 

$200

How "conspiracy brother" are you getting on this?   I would entertain the possibility that he acted under duress, or that someone stole his firearms and kidnapped him before executing him, but shit like government concocted "false flag" events are too far-fetched for my taste.

I'm making no theory or judgement yet other than absolutely nothing in this guys past or current leads to this. 

Interviews with neighbors, family, friends and business associates all adamantly say no way he did this. 

The behavor up to the event doesn't fit. 

His lifestyle doesn't fit. 

On and on. He had no reason to die and every reason to keep living his life as a millionaire. I'm not buying it is my only theory right now 

His arsenal has zero to do with it. I promise you my "arsenal" and my quantity of ammo on hand makes his look like a kids nerf gun game yet I have zero intention of illegal activities or of killing anyone other than someone who wishes to do me harm first. 

Second. 

The more that comes out about this guy the more I start to think it was a set up. 

The guy is not the type and had no reason or motive and had a great and wealthy life. I'm not convinced there's not a lot more to this

I happen to own several full autos and I disagree. I enjoy them. With use comes control, your experience with muzzle rise was do to inexperience with full auto. Like everything it takes practice. 

Registered full auto owners are not the problem so further regulating us achieves nothing. We are responsible and law abiding as you would imagine with all the tape involved for us to get them. 

Any semi auto gun can be illegally converted to full auto. The legal ones are not the problem.

My R6 is for sale if interested. 

Do tell. 

I fucking love Thin Mints

Just watch out for the coolaid drinkers that think the only track bike to have is the R6. They all take setup time to get them where you want them.

If you go the zx6r route hit me up and I'll save you the headache of trial and error on setup.

Studies show riders are 87.3% more likely to break a collar bone on a ZX6 vs  R6. But you already know that.

Less HP, no traction control and would have to buy a new one to get abs. And it wasn't one of the listed choices.

Better out of box track bike, you wont fully utilize all the HP of any of the bikes listed, bazzaz fuel controller with traction control is a simple addition and should be added regardless of bike choice. ABS shouldn't be a deal breaker or depended on in factory form thats what your fingers and foot are for.

Box stock the R6 is a better choice for a 600 class track bike, aftermarket only enhances that. To each his own though.

ZX-6R or CBR 600RR?

Go!

R6

Those things ^

Basically a poor quality and no real set tolerances in the builds, no two of them are alike but all are loose, inaccurate and inconsistent. You get what you pay for.

IMO the SR22 is a far safer gun to teach a child to shoot with and a wiser choice as its modern and what your child is likely to come accross while at a friends house so why not teach them how to properly and safely handle and unload what they are likely to stumble upon. I personally see no reason or benefit to teach a child firearm safety and usage on a dated and overall poor quality gun.

I dont either, I hit them around 112 because thats about all she has

It handles amazing though, it's deff one of my favorite bikes I've ever owned

As he said they are shitty guns, but as long as you understand you get what you pay for then it's all good.

The SR22 is a great gun. I have 2 of them and my daughter has one. Shes had hers since she was 12 I believe. Great gun to teach your kids to shoot with.

All true

Back it down? It's just a dirt bike with street tires it doesn't even go fast

lol that can be arranged. I loved it when my kid started riding with me. Now she's grown up and moved to college. Not daddy's little girl anymore. Most of my favorite rides were with her, her mother hated it though. 

I'll take one for you if you want to get them both out together. What pace you wanna let her see lol.
