The diminutive Walther P22 .22 pistol is a fun plinker and I consider it a good choice as a recreational pistol. Shooters with small hands will appreciate its ergonomics, easily accessed controls, ease of loading (both mags and slide racking), and smaller grip. Other upsides include tactical looks, more blast and recoil for a .22 makes it funner, versatile configurations (can swap out barrels easily), and light rail. But make sure you are realistic about the gun’s capabilities. While some …
Don’t waste your ammo, invest it. The way to do that is doing a Nutnfancy-type “RunNGun” with your friends and family. While benchrest, tin can shooting , and paper punching have their place and are fun, these days I’m a fan of our heart pumping, competitive RunNGuns. With the right folks in attendance, these course are a blast to shoot and provide stress-oriented training that can transfer to other weapon platforms. TNP RunNGun courses are generally 100 yards in length with various stages …
Part 1 of 2: Every shooter in the US should own a Ruger 10/22 (and I wish my overseas viewers could too!). It is the everyman’s, all-around .22 rifle. It shocks me when I find one that doesn’t!

It continues to be an extremely successful Ruger design, having sold well over …
Shooting review of the fun Walther P22 .22 semi-auto pistol. The P22 generally requires good ammo for function and as such we used CCI Mini Mag solids and they functioned 100% in the test. Other brands/types may not. But the gun proved adequately accurate, lightweight (17.2 oz), ergonomic for smaller hands (especially for women and kids), easy to load, and fun to shoot. Like all smaller pistols, it is hard to shoot accurately from unsupported positions. Also the sights are too coarse for …
Shooting a .22 pistol accurately at 100 yds? Yep and here’s proof. Here “TacticalDoodle” and myself rail on an abandoned stove with Ruger 22/45 .22 pistols just for fun. Guns used were a bone stock Ruger 22/45 and on modified in 1993 by “Chief AJ’s” Tribal Gun Shop in Tuscola, IL (no longer in operation sadly). Listen for the hits against the steel. The “Nutnfany Tactical Clinic” provides the perfect safe shooting range and the perfect target. While a fun exercise, the long range pistol …
