22 pistols

[71BRONCO71]

OK, I need another gun
I spent a lot of time looking over the internet and watching Youtube videos. Some that caught my eye.
Browning Buckmark
Ruger sr22
Ruger 22/45
Ruger MkIII
S&W 22A
P22
PPK 22

I am looking for something to plink around with while being reliable.
What's everyone got in their safe that they play with? Any input on the list?

Re: 22 pistols

I have a Ruger 22/45. Very reliable and accurate. Also I have a MK1 Ruger and a Single Six. And really you can't beat a good 22 rifle. Loads of fun and cheap to shoot. I recently picked up a Henry Lever 22. Can't wait to go shoot it.

Re: 22 pistols

I got a single shot lever action 22. One of my favorites. Also got a double barrel that shoots .22 and .222 that one is pretty cool too.
A buckmark would be a nice pistol or ruger mkIII.

Re: 22 pistols

Buckmark and the MKIII are on the top of the list for sure

I just like the sr22 also. and the ruger 22/45

Re: 22 pistols

Have you handled either one. My dad has the buckmark and the feel and weight is awsome. Wish you could have greater than 10 in the clip cause you can unload them quick. I may get my one one day

Re: 22 pistols

I still think the Ruger 22 Charger would be fun (mainly because for all intents and purposes it's a 10-22 in a more compact form).

I like the integrated bipod. With a scope I could be ridiculously accurate behind the trigger on that.

Re: 22 pistols

The Buckmark target models had particularly nice triggers, some of them adjustable. Heavy barrel, integral scope rail, nice hooded sights... great pistols.

Only downside was finding a holster.

Figures... so much for that idea.

Re: 22 pistols

My favs are the Buckmark Target and the Ruger 10/22.
Both can be extremely accurate. Swapped the barrel on the 10/22 for a carbon fiber bull barrel and it shoots even better without a weight diff to speak of. My kid can shoot the center of her paper targets right out of them with either weapon.

Re: 22 pistols

I've got a Ruger MK I w/ 4.5"(?) standard barrel I carry as my sidearm when long gun hunting. I've also got a MK II Target w/ 6 or 6.5" bull barrel. I wouldn't trade either of them for anything! They are awesome to hold, shoot & just plain look at. Never had either jam no matter the ammo and I dropped a jack rabbit from about 80yds out with the MK I once! Luck, good shot, whatever, the damn thing dropped like a bad habit from that distance with one shot. The target model will drive tacks all day long and makes you feel like Joe Pesci in Good Fellas...

Re: 22 pistols

Ruger sp101 4"

Or

Just don't buy a .22 or .32 or .380

You should check out the little .38/.357 snub that liz got. Great size with a little heft it's a 605 I believe. I didn't get to shoot it before I left though. But .38 is pretty damn cheap not as cheap as .22 but cheap enough to go out blasting and not cry about it.

That is not a bad idea at all! Last .357 snub I shot was a hammerless w/ 2" barrel and that sucker would hurt your face when it went off! Shockwave from the magnum round was a killer out of that tiny thing.

Re: 22 pistols

I paid $350 for Liz's snubby, it's a full weight frame with hammer.

CA law that's awesome: guns are communal property between spouses, so that snubby can go on my CCW
