What's a good pistol to buy?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by lumberjack_jeff (a host of the Men's Group group).

I used to have a 22 target pistol a while ago and it was lots of fun, but sold it when I moved about six years ago. What's a good pistol to buy for target shooting and home defense? I'm looking for something inexpensive to buy and easy to maintain, but high quality. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is ask in the guns forum. Bonobo Feb 2013 #3

I'm going to second what Bonobo said; this really belongs in Guns/RKBA. Warren DeMontague Feb 2013 #5

I am old school and use a 1911A.

A Ruger Bull Barrel is a great target pistol and well placed .22LR will discourage all but the most determined home invaders.
