Shot some guns this Tuesday with my dad. Two .22 LR rifles (one semi-auto, one bolt-action) and a ruger (not an old one, mind you) with the same caliber, then a pair of 9mm compact pistols. One of them was called the Shield and I can't remember the other.
The Ruger was REALLY fun to shoot mostly because it has so little kickback you could put an entire magazine downrange without knowing, until the burning gunpowder lands on your arm when the slide locks back. The rifles had even less kick, considering they were the size of a normal hunting rifle.
The 9mm's had much more kick than I expected, mostly due to the guns being lighter than what normally fires 9mm, but I managed to get a decent grouping once I got used to them.
Then I ate Chinese food. it was a good day.
