22 pistol preference

[dbg326]

One that has intrigued me but haven't handled is the S&W 422 and 622 series.

The only thing I didn’t love about mine, at the time, was how light it is. The 2206 is the one I’d buy for a 4” or 6” barrel. The 2213/2214 would make awesome suppressor hosts.

Love my MKII Target.

Wow. That is a long barrel. They still make them?

No longer made , the 10" pictured above was last available in the MKII series. I was able to pick one up new in 2004 at the Indy gun show.

Google "Hi Standard Space Gun"...

I have to agree, excellent gun, relatively inexpensive and a great shooter.

I'm going to catch flack for this, but I really enjoy my Heritage Rough Rider pistol, it's a joy to shoot, and I find it to be decently accurate.

No flack, I really enjoy my new Wrangler. Fun/cost ratio of the little SAAs is ridiculous.

The Ruger Mk series is my go to platform, very little you can’t do building from these.

ditto...

I have the 22/45 LITE in a MarkIV -- but have my sights set on the Mark IV Hunter :

I have one I enjoy shooting too. They are fun little things

I like my Browning Buck Mark, works well with different ammo and never had any issues

One of these days, I'm gonna pay Volquartzen what they want and get a one off MK IV with a 12" ultralight bbl and one of their 22/45 lowers. Think that would be a perfect squirrel pistol.

 

[Hookeye]

A 12" Contender bbl (bull) would be cool.

 

[KokomoDave]

Ahwell crap ! I am old so I'd prefer High Standard.

I’m quite enamored with the 11” VQ carbon upper I’ve got for my MkIII.

I added another Hi Standard the other day. Finally found the "hens tooth". A light weight 100 series Flight King.

The thing is a mess but it should be able to be brought back.

My Walther P22 5" is a freaking blast. I have put more than 2000 rounds through it and still love the gun. The best part about it, is it is great for taking first time shooters and really accurate.

It seems I have had them all since I've never met a .22LR I didn't enjoy and probably bought over 2, maybe nearly 3 dozen .22LR.
I'm down to 3 pistols, 2 revolvers & 1 rifle in .22LR.
I'm retired and trying to trim down to the best revolver, best pistol & best rifle.
Or two of each.

S/W 41: an older 80s gun, but love the weight (over $1000 in it so far). My best shooter of stock guns I own.
Bought from a member here and updated internals & rear sight.

These shoot about the same, but I tried to put them in order:
1. Browning Buckmark Target; 7.25 barrel length; ($375 w/tax); owned 2 or 3 of these
2. Ruger Mark 4 Target ($325); owned 2 or 3 of these (bought all off a member here)
3. S/W Victory ($275); owned 3 of these (2 bought off members here)

NOTE: UPDATE EDIT = I went to the range after writing the above and discovered that my S/W Victory with the red dot shot better at 20', 30' & 40' than any of the others.

There have been some older guns that have done well:
Colt Target .22LR (from late 90s) ($525)
S/W 22A (x3: $175, $200 & $225)

I have a Hi-Standard Sport King with the 4" and 6" barrels and a Colt Diamondback 4", both are more accurate than I am.

Whats your favorite dedicated 22 pistol platform? No conversion kits please.

Walther P22 5" is my personal favorite. Very accurate and sleek. If you want to carry, i wouldn't suggest the 5"
