Hitting the gym to become a swoletariat, looking to arm myself as well.

I've gone shooting before, and my Dad just bought a couple guns himself because of all the pogroms he's been seeing against Muslims in ingerland.

I'm based in the United States of Amerikkka, mods please let me know if this isn't allowed!

If you just want to learn to shoot and not worried about self defense at the moment, Ruger 10/22. 22 lr ammo is so cheap.

I have a 1022 and it's so bad. More unreliable than the musket I built myself. Jams basically every mag.

22lr guns are notoriously picky on ammo. I had to try 6 different types to find one that fed reliably.

Not if you have a good one. My Taurus shoots anything from dogshit ammo to CCI

Sorry the musket you built yourself? No doxxa but have you posted about this?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's just from a kit, I'm not that good at building stuff

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

That sucks. Could maybe be the barrel is misaligned? I used to have one that was amazing and I was thinking about getting one again. Seems like other people have similar issues when they use cheaper ammo too, which is why I want a 22 lmao

are you using the ruger factory mags or aftermarket ones? aftermarket mags seem to create problems sometimes from what ive heard. also agree with the other replies about ammo.

Factory

Follow up question: if le arms of flame are verboten in a certain living location, what would SWIY suggest doing for SWIM

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't understand

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

They're asking what you'd get for self defense if firearms are banned

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Check to see if my state considers black powder guns to be firearms
