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!

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

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.
