What .22 pistol do you like? No gun arsenal is complete without a 22. I like Browning's Buckmark, with a 5.5" bull barrel. Guns like this are where you really learn how to shoot a firearm. Put 1000 rounds through one of these and your wallet won't feel it. -PMan

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Ruger Mark II, target grade 6" bbl.

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Mark II is very accurate, but with the crappy mag release and insane cleaning ritual I really don't care for it. I love my wife's walther P22 and buckmark camper. Much more fun to shoot (and clean), even if not quite as accurate.

Is the Mark II much different than the Mark III? My mag release is great and the cleaning ritual isn't all that bad (to me at least).

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Ruger MkII or Browning Buckmark for an auto Dan Wesson 22 or Smith K frame for a revolver

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? I LOVE my Mark II. Utterly reliable with every kind of cheapo ammo I've tried. Accurate as all get out, by far my most accurate pistol. Cleaning, what's that. I cleaned mine once when I got it (it was abused). Now a coule of thousand rounds of dirty, junky ammo later, it's running like a sewing machine. I can see how re assembly could be a pain, but once you figure out what's going on in there, it's easy as pie. I've pulled mine down several times to fool with the trigger, etc.

A friend of mine picked one up recently, and I did get to fire it. Very nice pistol, I hope to pick one up soon. Massad Ayoob had a good article on it in issue #109 of Backwoods Home magazine, a couple of issues ago.

My Mk III didn't like the cheap stuff from Wal-Mart when I was firing off the whole clip rapidly. I notice a lot of Mk II lovers here, did I get the wrong generation or are both Mk III's and Mk II's similar enough to not make a difference?

I've heard a lot of people say that the older generation is better. But, I'm not a Ruger fan. The Browning is easier to clean and you can add barrels without background checks and transfer fees.

Another Ruger MK II fan here (twice)... You might check around on the internet forums about some problems with the MKIII "chambered round indicator" causing feed problems. If that is the case, I am sure it can be removed or at least disabled... http://rimfirecentral.com/forums/

Thanks for the input. I went to look at that article, but that story is one of the few not online: http://www.backwoodshome.com/previssues/issue109.html

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Anyone shot the Browning Buckmark Countour Lite or one with a similar grip style? How did you like it? Wondering if it is worth the extra $ over a standard Camper version... Numbers 14 and 20 on this page: http://www.browning.com/products/cat...g_=B&offset=12

It's just a B-square scope mount. Here is a list of what I did to my Camper: - Polished both sides of the frame (as well as the mag well) - Polished both sides of the slide (as well as slide contact points) - Reversed the sear spring - Drilled and tapped slide / installed thumbscrew cocking "ears" - Drilled and tapped trigger / installed over-travel screw - Removed gold lacquer from trigger - Installed B-square scope mount - Installed BSA holo sight - Ambi walnut target grips from Kelley Arms - Replaced grip screws with stainless hex screws PS - I really debated getting a Hunter, or building a Camper. I chose the latter just for the fun of customizing my gun.

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Ruger single six. :D There isn't a heck of a lot on it that could break...and it comes with a .22wmr cylinder for marginally greater power and 10x the cost. :)

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? If you can find a Hi-standard simi.. you can not go wrong. There was a post here abt 9 shots?? What range?? Most pistole or guns are rated at 25 yards.. and group,s are how close the shots are group,ed together. The best (bench rest ) shooters try to put all shots thru the same hole.. that can be called a bug hole..!! Any way the best I have ever owned was the one above. Note ..not all 22 ammo is the same ,,there is some out there, that can take a bad gun and turn it in to an o.k . one. But if you have a good gun ,nail driver. With respect! Live long And Prosper.! Dusty:D

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? When you have the best why mess with the rest ? http://home.comcast.net/~ssom003/Gun...ion%2022LR.JPG

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Now don't be confusing "range" with "accuracy"! :D Years ago on while a pistol team my Leupold 2X scoped Hi Standard semi-auto with 6" bull barrel could put 5 shots in a ragged single hole off a bench at 25 yards,.......way more accuracy than most folks would ever need. Sure with a 22LR pistol the 100 yard shots are the exception,........but even in hunting your lunch, a 50 yard shot is more than justified on small game with an accurate scoped up version like this. (don't try this with a Ruger single six sans scope!) BTW,.....last i knew most NRA pistol shooters were using scopes on all their pistols in competition back about 15 years. Quote:

What's the point of having an aiming device so much more accurate than your launching device? The extreme end of this scale is the Leupold VariX IV 4 X 12 with a 60mm objective mounted on your Daisy Red Ryder. You can see the bullseye at 600 yards but your projectile will land 550 yards short.... Used to see deer hunting the guy with a Model 94 lever action "brush gun" sporting a 3 X 9 scope turned all the way up.... So you're gonna actually acquire a running deer in the brush and shoot him with that getup??? It seems to me that, if some sort of aid is necessary, a laser or even just a light would be more practical.... I'm not against optics, per se (heck I shot a deer last fall with my NEF 20 gauge heavy barrel and an Eotech 552), but just think the ability of the weapon and the site ought to be matched.

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? What about a .22 in a revolver format? The only one I can find these days is by taurus. Any thoughts. I'm also using my wife as an excuse to get one but it's really so I can blow through 500 rounds and not feel it in the pocketbook. Any thoughts?

____hoot____ | 03-17-2008 07:19 PM
Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Codger, I had a Taurus stainless 22 mag before I got my olde H&R 922. The H&R will out shoot it.[both with 4" barrels] About 4" at 25 yards is I think about the best I can shoot a pistol to be honest, I don't know how much better that gun would do in a machine rest. It likes Winchester copper plated the best. The Taurus sure was a LOT prettyer!

I am real close to getting one....hows the feed/reliability when rapid fired?

graspAU | 04-22-2008 08:49 PM
Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Went with the Ruger 22/45 (4" barrel). Wanted a Browning Buckmark but they will not send a fired shell casing that my state now requires for their shell casing database and repository.

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? Once you get to operate a Mark II or 22/45, you'll learn to hate the funky slide of the Buckmark, or any other pistol slide for that matter.

I'm posting the same.Beretta bobcat, never jams, feeds anything and very accurate for such a little shit! With CCI Stingers you can knock over bowling pins with one, one after another at around 15 yards.Just a great little auto.

Re: What .22 pistol do you like? for accuracy i love my sig trailside...super accurate for fun and blasting you cant beat a Walther P22...i have short and long barrels and a 17mach 2 barrel, never jambs ...great lil blaster.. and for exotic...nothing like a calico 22 M-110 pistol with a 100round clip..amazingly accurate and unrivaled firepower...looks like a ray gun from the 60s...at the range they wonder if your ever going to stop shooting
