Handgun Scope

Should I get a 9mm handgun or a .243 win rifle?

This will mostly just be used for target shooting. The rifle will rarely be used for hunting. I am looking at the baby eagle 9mm and the ruger m77 compact. If I buy the baby eagle (compact model) I will save $100+ and can buy some accessories for it. If I buy the rifle I will need a scope and I do not have enough for it right now.

If it’s MOSTLY for target shooting, then that means you’d hunt sometimes still. So you’d want the rifle. Chambered for .243 Winchester, your rifle will be a little cheaper to go target shooting with, and still allow you to hunt deer. Oh, and for price consideration, you don’t NEED a scope at all. I actually prefer open sights, depending on what kind of area I’m hunting in.

If you actually mean you’d NEVER hunt with it, then figure out which you enjoy shooting more. If all you really want to do is go target shooting, then save your money and buy a rifle OR a handgun chambered for .22LR, depending on which you enjoy more. .22LR is awfully cheap, and plenty fun to shoot.

Now, between those two, if you intend to also use the firearm for defense, the handgun is your better choice. Although I personally would go larger than a 9mm. Any caliber can kill a man, but the 9mm has a tendency to overpenetrate, which tends to mean a smaller wound channel and also that the round will probably exit your target with enough force to hit whatever is behind it as well, which is a safety concern IMO. The .45 ACP by contrast flattens out much bigger and leaves a very large wound channel, as well as not overpenetrating.

Contrary to what the other person stated, a handgun can be a revolver, an autoloader, a flintlock, or any other firearm that is intended to be fired in a single hand. A lot of people think there are diferences between the term handgun and pistol as well, but I assure you, by definition, they both mean a handheld firearm. Some people only use the term pistol to mean an autoloader, and then call revolvers by their name, but by definition, they are the same thing. Revolver and autoloader define the way in which rounds are cycled to be fired. Use a dictionary sometime.
