I was also wondering if this would be good for recreational target shooting. (QUOTE)


Sorry to hear of the passing of your Father-in-law.

In my (and many others) opinion, you couldn't find a better firearm for recreational target shooting. After you get used to it you will be amazed at how accurate your K22 really is.

It's always a good idea to seek out some experienced help if you're not totally comfortable with the safety aspect of operating your "new" S&W.

Good Luck!
