WTB Looking for a good Hardball/Club match gun & 22 Pistol

I recently started shooting bullseye and have the need for another pistol.  I am leaning toward a hardball gun so I may use it in other matches as well.  I am not a professional but just a weekend club shooter.  I currently have a built wad gun but would like to change things up and try something new.  I also would like to add another 22 to the collection for my son.  Looking for a ruger or browning, 22 heavy barrel and railed sight would be nice as well.  

I use this site much for the conversation and have read just about every post.  I very much enjoy bullseye as a personal hobby and am glad to have a resource such as this site.  Thanks guy and keep up the good work.

As you probably have read. The springfield range officer is a fine starter into our shooting sport.  The addition of a 22lr conversion by several brands is nice as well.  
Just saw a marvel conversion up on commerical row.
Or If you got bit by the bug, buy once cry once from some of these great gunsmith on this form.

I have noticed that a lot of folks prefer the Range Officer.  I have considered that option but with a rib site added and a possible barrel change I could possibly purchase an old timers gun that is ready to shoot and tailored more to what I am looking for but that option is still on the table.  Thanks and keep 'em coming.

Doc-K, plenty of wad guns and hardball guns for sale on this forum. Also, search gunbroker.com with 1911 match.
As a .22 I suggest a nice used Pardini, there are several for sale right now.
Do I see that right, that you are in Austin? TX State match is in Austin this year.

I live in Belton. My name is Austin. I am really just looking at going for a ruger with an ultra dot and I have a couple wad guns to use. I also am really searching for a nice hardball gun but may just try to get my hands in a les bauer. Thanks for all the info.

Oh, I see.
I sold my Gold Cup, and a Range Officer, and saved up some money and bought a brand new Les Baer Premier II. 

It's great, you won't be disappointed.

There is still something to be said about the old school wad guns. I have an old shocky colt that had been a real performer so far but it's coming into a maintenence period and I thought of just starting fresh. I also really like that 38 colt for sale as well here on the board. Decisions, decisions......

Just my personal opinion but I would save up your money and wait for a used gun or go for a new build by a bullseye smith over a Bauer.

SPF!

We have three hardball guns and could easily part with one.  It is a Springfield Armory Custom Shop Hardball pistol that we have only fired to check sighting.  SPF!


Cheers!

Gentlemen,  I appreciate all the replies and have been offered some really great guns.  Too bad the warden limits the gun funds nowadays or I would by them all.  I have a few deals in the works but will notify here if something changes.  Thanks again and hopefully i will be picking your brains to learn more about the sport.  - Austin
