I’m getting back into shooting and really want to focus on my target practice skills. I have a few handguns in mind, but I’m hoping to gather some advice from those who have experience with different models.
What I’m Looking For
Specifically, I’m interested in:
Accuracy: I want something that allows me to improve my aim.
Recoil: A manageable recoil helps me focus on shooting straight.
Price: As a beginner, I’m looking for something that doesn’t break the bank but still offers good quality.
Popular Models?
I’ve heard about a few handguns that are often recommended for target shooting:
Smith & Wesson M&P 22: Great for beginners with low recoil.
Glock 19: Known for its reliability and accuracy.
Sig Sauer P226: A bit on the pricey side, but many swear by its precision.

I’m looking for the best handgun for target practice too! I’ve heard a lot about the Glock 34 for its accuracy and reliability. Anyone else had experience with it?
For budget options, the Ruger Mark IV is solid! It’s rimfire, so it has very low recoil, making it excellent for target practice without breaking the bank.
I find it amusing that we’re all recommending different models! So many choices! But honestly, it looks like personal preference plays a huge role here.
If you’re looking for a great caliber for target practice, I’d recommend starting with the .22 LR. It’s low recoil and really affordable, which makes it great for beginners.
What about the 9mm? I’ve heard it’s a solid choice for both practice and home defense. It’s a bit more powerful than the .22 LR but still manageable for target shooting.
You guys make great points! I think it depends on your budget and how often you plan to practice. What’s the primary reason you’re getting into target shooting?
