Looking for a fun gun, help me out.

Wasn't aware there were issues with the Keltec PMR -- have read several glowing reviews on INGO in recent months.

The only issues I know of with the PMR-30 are:

[1] There was some keyholing with certain brands of 40 gr bullets in the fluted barrel--now all new PMR-30's have a solid barrel and Kel-Tec will ship you one free if you give them a call. Distribution was tempoirarily halted while the new barrels were installed. (Not a recall...)

[2] As with loading ALL rimmed cartridges, you have to follow directions in order to avoid rimlock. (Also not a recall...)

[3] Since some non-domestic ammo manufacturers make out-of-spec ammo, Kel-Tec recommends domestic .22 WMR only. (Also not a recall...)

[4] Kel-Tec cannot make the PMR-30 fast enough to meet demand. While the MSRP is just over $400, most are priced at $550 or more...

The PMR-30 is THE MOST FUN GUN in my collection--the most fun you can have standing up and properly attired. Look up FUN GUN in the dictionary and there's a picture of a PMR-30 right there.

[Mr.JAG]

GSG 1911 - $350
TM .22 Supressor - $200
NFA Tax Stamp - $200
----------------------------
Total: $750

Sounds about right to me.

Probably my favorite would be my WASR Ak47. Pretty cheap to shoot. It will run anything. Makes alot of noise and will destroy whatever you aim it at. Still plenty of ways to dress it up like a AR but a cheaper and easier to use gun.

 

[96harley]

Ah Shoot, they're all fun in my humble opinion.

Id have to go with a GSG5, I love mine, the GF loves to shoot it also. Plus they are in your price range, and you can afford to shoot it more than once a month, And they look cool!

This. I had one, dressed it properly with rails, optics, collapsible stock, etc. Ran thousands of rounds through it before selling it at a very good price. Not a single person who shot it put it down without a smile on their face. Its a hassle to clean and reassemble, but its a really great gun for any age group.
The only real con is that it does tend to want peppier .22lr ammo to properly cycle than the 1500 bulk pack stuff. Never went wrong with CCI minimags or velocitors.

This is pretty much what I was running at a $700 investment ( I had 5 mags, though, a reflex sight):

PMR - 30 - if you get a good one. Some are having problems.

Mark II or III - great 22 pistol and will have cash left over.

Saiga 12 or 410

fun gun

i go along with an early post ruger 10 /22 and a mark 1 or two. lot of bangs for your buck. plus ammo is cheap = lots of fun

 

[ParkeCountyPlinker]

A fun gun? Out of all the rifle's I've shot, nothing compares to sitting in the backyard shooting pesky birds with an old Marlin 39a.

 

[lrahm]

To me fun entails a .22lr.

I don't you could go wrong with a Ruger 22/45.

More bang for your buck.

 

[squirrelhntr]

Ah Shoot, they're all fun in my humble opinion.

I agree with this. But you will get to shoot more if you stick to something in a 22LR or a 9MM caliber. The ammo's alot cheaper which equals more shootn time which equals more fun.

 

[daspurlock]

Had some friends out to range recently with several different guns to shoot bigest hits 22's and shotguns cheapest to play with.

 

[Dirtebiker]

This looks fun to me:

Gotta agree with Allen, the Alaskan is a cool gun! Although expensive to shoot!

The GSG 1911-22 is one gun I'll probably be getting sometime, decent price, cheap to shoot, I've heard nothing but good about this gun! The GSG5 also great choice!

 

[AMMO USER]

Polish PPS, shoots the 7.62x25 round, and under 300.00 dollars.
I love mine, it looks awesome, very accurate, takes down easy.
Ammo is pretty cheap also,

 

[charley59]

would concur on the Idea of an XD in 9mm. I don't own a 9mm XD but i do have a .45 XD Compact that was so easy to learn to shoot well and after that first 1000 rounds, the trigger smooths up really nice. My fun gun I bought this year...Glock 19, and some of those Korean 30 rnd mags (which actually work, whereas my Glock 33 rnd FTfeed at times). Lots of fun. And can be carried as a defense piece.

Have you ever fired a black powder pistol ? I started casting my own round ball years ago. Purchased a Ruger Old Army for my first black powder gun. The addiction began but the most fun i've experienced was with this Dragoon pistol. 50gr of powder will definitely make you smile. Alot of people dismiss this branch of the hobby because loading the pistol is somewhat time consuming but for the fun factor, i love it!
