ONE .22 Auto

[Mark_Mark]

I have a love affair with .22 Auto pistol. Am I missing something special?

currently have
Ruger mk2 (love)
Ruger MK4 with 2 extra uppers
Beretta 87 target (over rated)
JA .22 (jam-o-matic)

 

[Spats McGee]

One?!? I want about six different .22 pistols.

Taurus TX22 Competition. S&W Victory 22

 

[Spats McGee]

Off the top of my head, but in no particular order, I want:
A Beretta Neos;
Browning Buckmark (a couple of different variants);
S&W Victory;
Ruger Mark IV (several variants ).

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Had a bunch.....most were unreliable and ammo-sensitive.

Only ones Ive kept are a Ruger Standard and S&W 422.

I prefer .22 revolvers for more serious target work these days.

The new lcp2 .22 is a fun little gun. I also love my Beretta Neos, I like the SR22 also, just don't like the safety.

Of all the 22s I've tried, I think the best was a Cenier platinum cup on my 1911. That thing was extremely accurate and never jammed. I was a fool for trading it.

I'm real fond of this outfit. The ground squirrels in the colonies on our friend's ranch probably feel differently about it.

Finally found a reliable .22 semi-auto with a CZ Kadet conversion for my 75 BD.

I've owned and shot many, and am down to two. A MKIV Hunter and a S&W Victory. If I had only one 22 semi-auto, it'd be the S&W Victory.

But this is my mostest favorite 22LR handgun ever:

For something you likely won't see another on the range, look for a Ruger Great Eight.

 

[FL-NC]

I have 3:
1-Ruger standard model (no explanation required)
2- full size S&W M&P (WAS a can host, since demoted to "fundamentals trainer"
3- Keltec P-17, the new can host and doing a great job of it.

I waffled between a Ruger 22/45 and Browning Buckmark. Went with the Browning and am very satisfied. Not a popular sentiment in an enablers forum, but I don’t have any desire for the other options currently available.

My favorite semi auto

 

[Mark_Mark]

here are my next 5 years plan .22

S&W .22 revolver (top list)

Keltec something or all.. P17 very Keltec looking and the 33rd space gun is just plain out cool

Ruger 4 hunter with the flute and stainless. without youtube, taking apart a Mark gun will make you get grey hair

1873 SAA clone In .22!

last…. a Italian or German olympic target gun with those little sticker all over it.

TX22 w/ competition upper, Glock 44, LCP .22, FN 502 are my current .22s. For plinking it's a toss between the 502 and TXs as my favorite, the Glock 44 is good too. Too many good options out there.

 

[ericuda]

Tx22 comp with a red dot and lots of mags. Best and most fun steel and beer can killer I have.

 

[Riomouse911]

You have a great start, it’s kinda-sorta similar to mine.

As of right now in my .22 auto pistol stable I have a Ruger Standard, a Mk II Govt. Target and a Mk IV with a 10” and a 5.5” upper, an Iver Johnson TP-22 and a Glock 44.

I would like one of the 1911-style autos sold by Browning, one of those may arrive in the not so distant future.

Stay safe.

TX22 Competition and standard TX22. Beretta Neos. Bought my TX22 to save on 9mm. I had no idea that shooting .22 would be so much fun.

 

[Mark_Mark]

I have owned 2 of those, as well as a Benelli, a couple of Ruger MK series ( a 2 and a 4) and for about a year or so I used (didn't own) a Pardini.
Hard to disagree with your assessment.

 

[cnj]

Have:
M&P22 Full Size (Awesome shooter)
M&P22 Compact (Awesome shooter)
Beretta Model 87 ($$$, but so gorgeous. Decent shooter)
Ruger MK IV 22/45 Target (The current standard to which I judge all others)
Ruger LCP II Lite Rack (Unreliable, but I'm working on it)

Want (in this order):
Beretta Neos (Had the 4.5" version but sold it. Want the 6" version)
KelTec P17 (No idea why I want one)
Taurus TX22 (You get a good one or you get a bad one. Hope I get a good one)
Ruger SR22 (Had one but was a jam-o-matic. Would like to try another)

 

[Tallball]

Good choices.

I shoot my Browning Buck Mark as well as I do my Ruger Marks, just in case you want to add another to the list.

My K22 is my favorite. I see it's at the top of your list, too.

I would opt for a Ruger Single Six over a SAA clone. The SAA action is slicker, but the little fixed sights would limit your accuracy. The Single Six has nice big adjustable sights that are much easier to use.

I had a Buckmark 5.5 back in the mid-1990s. It’s the fat barrel, contoured wood grip, and hooded front sight. I spent hours at the public range dinging steel plates. Absolutely loved it. Of course, I sold it for something “better” which I’m sure paled in comparison and was sold quickly.

My first handgun that I bought myself was a Ruger Mark II government. That was a sweet gun too. Today, I have a few Mark II and III. I prefer the II.
