We think every gun owner should have a .22 LR rifle and .22 LR pistol for training and fun plinking. You can shoot .22 LR rimfire rounds for a tiny fraction of the cost of centerfire ammo, which can exceed $1.30 per round just for components. Today we spotlight some of the best .22 LR rimfire ammo deals on the web.

At Locked & Loaded Ltd. we found .22 LR rimfire ammo for as low as $2.68 per 50ct box, which works out to just 5.36 cents per round ($0.0536)! These deals, all under seven cents per round, are all current on the LockedLoaded.com website. CLICK HERE to access the deals. When you arrive on that web page click “Hide Out of Stock” in the left column. Everything shown below is listed as “IN STOCK” as of 10:30 am PDT on 6/4/2024.

Bonus — Big Rimfire Ammo Comparison Test

This Backfire Channel Video features an accuracy comparison test of 13 .22LR ammo types from multiple manufacturers. This includes low-priced ammo, such as Aquila, as well as more costly match ammo from ELEY, Lapua, and SK. The most accurate ammunition in the tester’s rifle was Lapua Center-X. Do note that different ammo may shoot better or worse in different rimfire guns. For example a round that works in a Ruger 10/22 may not be the best choice for a .22 LR revolver. But this review can help you get started in your ammo selection process.

Choosing a Handgun — Smart Tips for Pistol Purchasers

Winchester Blog Becky Yackley pistol purchase handgun training

Are you in the market for your first handgun, for target use or for self-defense? The Winchester Blog has a good article for handgun buyers. This story, “Things You Should Know When Purchasing Your First Pistol”, provides many smart tips that can help you choose the right handgun, and save money in the process. In addition, the article explains how to train with your new pistol and handle it safely. READ Full Article.

If possible, you should test a variety of different pistols, to determine which works best for you. Check the feel, the ergonomics, the sight picture, and the controls. And, if possible, test the pistols with live-fire at a range which rents samples.

How do you know if your choice is right for you?
Once you’ve narrowed down choices, try to get time shooting the pistol(s) you are considering. You can usually rent guns at commercial ranges. This is an excellent way to “try before you buy.” NSSF has a list of places to shoot[.] When looking for a range that rents firearms, an online search and then a phone call to confirm what options are available is a solid plan. If you have friends and family who own a model you are interested in, ask if they will go to the range with you so that you can try it.

Take pistols for a test drive
First, dry-fire and manipulate the pistol. Can you easily lock the slide open? Are the sights suited to your vision? Then, fire a magazine or two of ammo [in a supervised range facility]. — Winchester Blog

The Winchester Blog article lists techniques that can help you get the “feel” for a particular firearm:

1. Practice the 4 Rules of Firearm Safety and make sure the gun is empty.

2. [After confirming the gun is empty] manipulate the slide, safety, magazine release, and dry-fire.

3. Perform a dry or empty magazine change — make sure you can hit the release and also reload a new magazine easily.

4. Perform a draw, or if you’re at a range where that is not allowed, simply pick the pistol up off the table and bring it up to your eye level and align the sights. Do this a few times. Can you acquire the sights quickly?

5. How does the backstrap fit your hand? Can you get both hands on the gun with enough “purchase” that you can really grip it well?
