My sons first pistol

[Fredkrueger100]

Just got my son a new Ruger 22/45 Light pistol from SSP. He was really excited when he saw it at the gun show today and I told him I would get him that pistol. I knew ssp had a couple so we went there and got one. Gonna go shoot it tomorrow after church. I'm really happy that he is so excited to shoot it. He has a rifle but wanted a pistol for a long time. Here it is.

Nice pistol to start off with for a young fella. Heck, that's a nice pistol for anybody. Good job.

Your son has good taste.

I'd make him demonstrate that he can strip and reassemble the pistol for cleaning before l'd let him shoot it if it were my son.

If he has a .22 rifle, and now a pistol, it looks like he is ready to start steel challenge matches. Very friendly for youth.

Nice choice. Our Mkiii is always a family favorite.

I broke it down last night and reassembled it myself. Ain't no way he could have done it. I had trouble. The parts are really tight. Had to use a punch and rubber mallet to get the back spring out and to separate the barrel from the trigger group. And I had to watch a YouTube video to figure that out. Ain't never had a problem disassembling a pistol or rifle before. Here he is getting ready to fire. Sorry for the crappy double picture.
