Why .22lr is BEST for an 18-Year-Old
For an 18-year-old's first firearm, .22LR is recommended primarily due to its significantly lower ammunition cost, making high-volume practice more accessible. While a .223 can be handled physically, the economic advantage of .22LR is substantial, costing about one-fifth as much per round. A practical solution involves using a CMMG conversion kit on a 5.56 AR-15 for .22LR training.
