[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 812538, member: 423"] They're a great multi purpose gun. The semi auto, especially something with the rail and an attached tac light would probably still be better for HD, but the .357 mag can be loaded to short range hunting levels, .38 for plinking / pest control, or shotshell loads for snakes/mice. And they're incredibly robust. As far as the EMP, one of our other members here ezbake, bought one like you because he loved it, and then had to do further modifications to make it run right, and eventually sold it. If at this point you're just wanting to get out and plink a lot, get used to shooting, get yourself a good .22 pistol, like a basic Ruger or Browning, and shoot the snot out of it. Then save up for a quality semi auto while you're enjoying the .22. You could do it like this, think, 550 rounds of .22 = $17 w/ tax, 550 rounds of 9mm = $100++, so every time you buy a value pack of .22, put $75 back towards your quality semi auto fund, and you'll have $500 for a good gun before you know it. If you really want a 9mm r[I]right now,[/I] look at this, reliable, solid, and will last till your great great great great grandkids are using it.
