The MOST FUN Gun To Shoot?

If you’ve ever tried to get someone else into shooting guns with you, you know that one of the biggest obstacles (besides the fear many people have due to never having handled a firearm before) is that they don’t really have a reason of their own to want to shoot guns. They don’t really understand the need for self-protection (or they think that law enforcement can be everywhere at all times) or they see it as just an expensive hobby.

In other words, they don’t know how much fun target shooting and target practice can be.

What can you do?

Well, if the issue is that they don’t have motivation to shoot, then, maybe you need to get them time on a range (maybe bribe them with an offer to buy breakfast) with the pistol that we’re talking about today. Because once they find out how much fun it is, there’s a good chance that you’ll have a range buddy to go with you in the future.

And what gun are we talking about today? The one that Richard Mann says is the most fun handgun to shoot in 2024. Mann writes,

There are a lot of things to like about [the Sig Sauer P322]. It has an amazing 20+1 round capacity, it’s optic- and suppressor-ready, the trigger is interchangeable from curved to flat, it has fiber optic sights, ambidextrous controls, and a reversible magazine catch. And even though we ran it against guns with optical sights, it delivered the second-best precision on target. The only issue we had with the P322 was with its magazines. If when loading the magazines, you do not take care to stack rounds consistently, a round can pop out of the magazine as the pistol cycles, jamming the gun. If you do your job and load them right, this gun runs like a racecar regardless the ammo you’re using.

The pistol’s 20-round capacity is nice, especially for plinking, and everyone agreed it was the most fun gun to shoot. The factory sights were dead-on out of the box, and it shot well enough for precision plinking or small game hunting. It also received the best score with regard to shooter interface. The ambidextrous manual thumb safety adds a bit of peace of mind and the pistol is fantastically simple to field strip. At only 17.1 ounces, the P322 was also the lightest of all the handguns we tested. Had we outfitted the P322 with a reflex sight it would have likely earned the spot as the best pistol in our test. Still, half the test participants felt the P322 was the best gun.

Obviously. Mann likes this pistol, and I can’t argue that shooting with .22 ammunition (.22LR, in this case) can be a lot of fun, especially for new shooters and when you just want to have some fun without spending an arm and a leg for ammunition.

A video reviewer had similar feelings about the P322 which you can see below.
