00AccordLX5spd and I were starting a conversation about firearms on another thread, so its a good idea to start its own thread...
Anyhow, I know that Ruger .22 you are talking about, it does shoot really nice, I just dont like the aesthetics of it. Im in love with my little Walther, but it does jam occasionally after it gets really dirty. I can shoot 500 rounds through it in an afternoon with no problem though, as long as I dont use the cheapest ammo.
My roomie's XD .40 has never had an issue. Its never had a jam or misfeed of any kind, and he has put about 1200-1500 rounds through it. He just shoots the cheap ammo from Wal Mart or the gun store.
My Ruger is under my mattress loaded with Speer Gold Dot hollows, one in the chamber with the safety on. I keep the Taurus in the dresser loaded with Black Talons, chamber clear. There is also a single shot 20 ga in the closet with a 3/4 ounce slug in it lol.
That Kimber Warrior is a beautiful gun. He has had a problem with it misfeeding after about fifty rounds though, so he has to send it back to Kimber, they will fix it and send it back free of charge. I really like the Kimber Raptor, that gun just looks cool lol. But its a little spendy for me, like $1200. My buddy paid right around $1000 for his Warrior, he got a deal on it because he bought the XD at the same time, so they knocked a little off the price. That was the same day I bought my Ruger.
My dad has a S&W Model 686 (I think) .357 mag that I have been trying to get him to sell me for the last couple years. That gun is so sweet. Six inch barrel, almost perfect balance, and you can shoot .38 or .357 out of it. .357 rounds are freakin LOUD though lol.

sounds like you've got a nice little collection of pistols... If you look on kimber's homepage there office for marketing/sales is located in the city I live in.... beautifull little guns! I can already forsee a number of people getting kind of angry about this conversation so I will just forwarn everyone if it gets out of hand I'll just delete the post.... keep your comments clean and avoid directly insulting other users please....
All that aside I'm more of a rifle person myself... I Have a little browning buckmark .22 special edition that's amazing, I used to own a star .45 and will NEVER Buy a star brand handgun again, there is a reason they only cost $99.00.... I have a savage tactical .300 Win Mag with a bipod and 4.5-16 power scope that I can get rounds to touch at 125 yards with... I love that rifle...then there's my first gun that I still have: Winchester .308 as well as a Ruger .22 Rifle that I use for hunting.... my wife is still a bit jumpy about handguns in the house even though her dad is a correctional officer! That's one argument she'll lose when I get my gun safe.... If you couldn't tell I'm pretty pro-gun/pro-safety.... I think that Hunters safety and gun educations classes should be as standard as sex ed... they can both kill you if used/done improperly why not educate people?

I recently got a S&W sigma series .40. After shooting a Ruger KP90-.45 and several Glocks, 9mm-.45. I seem to like the KP90 and the 9mm Glock the best for range shooting. The accuracy is far better because of the balance between load and gun weight. I still like my S&W for its punch, but its a little inaccurate because it's front heavy and its a .40...just my two cents...I keep it under my mattress, empty chamber (cuz it doesnt have a safety)

I can understand how this topic could get heated and argumentative, but hopefully people can be mature about it... thats not too much to ask, right?
Im a big pro gun person. Card carrying NRA member, in fact. I have been around guns all my life, and I have found that a lot of people who "hate" guns are people who have never attempted to fire one themselves. Im not generalizing and saying that ANYONE who is anti gun has no experience, thats just what I have found to be the case the majority of the time... I personally feel that everyone should at least learn to use a gun, properly and safely.
I like rifles also, I have a .22 bolt action with a peep sight that I can put five rounds into an inch circle at 100 meters. I love that thing. I also have a Winchester Model 94 .30-30 lever action. Thats a sweet little rifle. Next rifle will be a long range gun, I want something I can shoot out to 800 meters or better with. Why? Just because. I like a challenge, and long distance shooting is a real challenge. Im looking at the .308, the .300 Win Mag, or maybe a .338 Lapua.
Im just a fan of guns all around lol.

I've never shot a Lapua but I've heard great things about them.... except they tend to hit a little hard.... the 800 meter shot is the very reason that I bought a .300 win mag.... it's a U.S. army sniper round... same size bullet as a .308 but about half as much again in powder capacity (I hand load my rifles for acuracy...) I dropped an elk at about 350-375 yards (the longest shot I've ever made I will admit) with my .300.... The round only drops about 6 inches at 300 yards (on a 100 yard zero) so it's a nice flat powerfull round that runs about 3300 FPS if I remember right..... I'm a huge fan of the .300 for long range shooting since it does great (as proven in hunting and combat alike) and doesn't have the meat tearing force of a 50 cal.... Antelope hunting with a 50 cal just about guarantees that you're only going to get half your meat!
bssmagik: I'm a big fan of the S&W pistols also but like you I found that when holding it without a full clip it was VERY nose heavy compared to some of the other pistols in the same price range....
