Getting a .22 hand gun next month... Suggestions

[Maxx2893]

I've got an old Ruger MKI, no upgrades, all original

Strike that, looked at it. I have a Ruger Standard Model.

Sig has a line of .22's. Although expensive they are easily converted to 9mm, .40, 0r .357Sig. Practice on the same frame is a huge advantage.

22 target pistol

A very nice 22 for some semi-serious target shooting is the Smith and Wesson 22-A with the 7" Bull barrel. Decent iron sights, top rail for optics, trigger is very good for factory and you will spend less then $300.00.....
This one is very hard to beat at that under $500 range.

Walther P22 is awesome. It has three backstraps for the grip to fit any size hand and any reviews you read of the federal bulk not working through it is a cleaning issue. I have put over a thousand rounds of federal bulk through it with no problems.

^^^this one of the ranges i go to regularly has one that you can rent. I get it everytime i go and have put well over 600+ rounds thru it of cci minimags. The only issue i have had are a couple of jams.

i have also shoot the sr22 by ruger and i thought it was a good gun. But i wasnt to fond of that trigger pull on the first load. it had like a double action that took some getting used to.

Not a Walther fan. Browning buckmarks are nice, ruger mark series are fantastic

Ruger .22 Hunter. Suppose to be a "Tack Driver". I know a guy who uses it to teach his CCW class so he knows if the student is missing, it's not the guns fault. It's purdy too.

Yup, they are tack drivers. Me thinks any "target" grade pistol from a major maker will a tack driver.

Love the fluted barrel!

You cannot go wrong with a Ruger MK series. I have one of those and I have a Smith model 41 that I like also but its WAY up in price. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/...57752_757751_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y

Been looking at .22 pistols as well. Find my self leaning toward the Ruger mk. Cousin has one and I love to shoot it. VERY accurate.

The Ruger MK series are great guns. Take some time and learn how to disassemble and assemble them. They can be tricky to learn. I have a MKII Government Model (slab side bull barrel) and it's a very accurate gun.

I have a m&p 22,very nice.

I love my MK II. I've hunted squirrels with it, and did well in Camp Perry competition after just loading CCI green tags (no mods to the gun at all).

Mine is a little old now; my parents gave it to me for Christmas about 20 years ago. Might be time for me to look at adding a newer MK II series to the collection.



For a revolver, I carry a Taurus tracker in the woods for snakes & such. (usually end up shooting little sticks for practice)
