Currently I have several pistols and a number of long guns, most of which are collectibles. Pistol stable is as follows,

Sig P226 Navy
Sig P229
Sig P220 Compact (EDC)
S&W police trade in .38.

Long guns...

Bushmaster AR-15 w/ 16.5 barrel and m4 style stock
Remington 870
Several Mosin Nagants
Russian SKS
M1 Carbine
A few varieties of the Enfield
K98 Mauser

Want List

Id like to get an under folder AK and a Garand as well as some other WW2 era rifles. As far as pistols im pretty content but would like a Browning Hi Power (one of the most comfortable guns I have ever shot) and a PPK for the cool factor.

Hi gun enthousiasts!
I recentenly joined a shooting club, which im having a ton of fun with.
However, the KNSA (Dutch Sport shooting association) Made a new rule, that people new to shooting, can only shoot .22 calibre guns in your first year. So my question is, what would be a good .22 pistol, also suitable for competition?
I've been shooting with a cz 75, with .22 coversion kit on it. It is however owned by the club itself.
So, does anyone recommend any .22 pistols, i could use for training, and also for competitions?

I've heard a lot of good things about the Ruger Mark III, it'll probably suit your needs perfectly

.22 LR? Get a revolver, IMO. I have shot a Ruger DA/SA revolver with 4" barrel and it is very accurate. It had a .22 magnum cylinder that you could swap in too. The single action is so light and crisp it is easy to hit where you aim.

I don't own any guns as I currently live in the UK, but back home in Canada my Grandpa has promised me one of his old .308 long rifles. I don't know how I would find out more about it because it was built by a private Czech company in the early 80s, the only thing I can say is that he said he fire-tested it on a long range to be accurate to nearly a mile. I almost got arrested when I was a kid for pointing it out the window at his neighbours, they freaked out and called the cops(as you would if you see a sniper rifle pointed at you right?), luckily for me(and my grandpa) his gun had a trigger-lock that required a key.

Once I move back home I wouldn't mind trying to aquire more hardware, sadly I'm pretty sure Canadian gun laws make pistols/assault rifles out of the question(would love a colt .45 and a ar-15), but I'll probably invest in a nice little .22 for shooting squirrels, maybe a Remington shotgun(there's something iconic about that).
I remember when I was a kid my dad took me out with a .22 and made me shoot a rabbit because I wanted a rabbit foot. When I went up to it the rabbit was still alive and he made me finish it off at close range, and take it home and skin it. Turns out I didn't really enjoy the rabbit foot as much after I had the fucking things warm blood all over my hands....taught me a lesson about life and death for sure, and I would love to be able to do this with my kid someday. Although by the time I have kids this probably will be illegal to do......

A Glock 27 is on my short list. I have a Glock 22, but it is too big and heavy to be an effective concealed carry weapon. It's like having a brick hanging off of my pants.

Bought a Saiga 12 IZ-109 not long ago and am getting ready to turn it into a Kushnapup. Hope it's not too hard to convert, but from what I've heard, shouldn't be too bad. Will be super fun at the gun range, and definitely get some weird looks. ^_^

I've heard about those, They seem pretty solid, but a pain to do maintenace on.
How about the sig mosquito, or the browning/colt/gsg 1911 .22?

Not such a fan of revolvers. The competition im entering also requires rapid fire (6 shots, 3 targets, 9 seconds )
Its also single handed so you will have to shoot double action.
Not ideal i reckon :S

Although some might find it cruel I actually think your father taught you a harsh but good lesson there.

I also think guns are awesome and don't get why people don't understand their appeal... it's kind of like cars I guess... I mean you don't need a Ferrari to do shopping but they sure as hell are still awesome right? Too bad my country is kind of strict on guns...

I only have one, but I really like shooting kids with it. Also, I don't know why but I always get some really strange looks when I turn up at the shooting range with it.
Here's a pic:
