.22lr handgun... I'm so undecided!

Stop making me love you!

lol

My Heratige .22 revolver hasn't had any issues. I have 2 buddies with them as well and they haven't had any problems either. Not saying that they are great guns because I know they aren't top quality, but for a $99 revolver, they have been great to us.

SR22's not a bad gun at all. Definitely for the small handed but I do OK with it. I haven't tried many kinds of ammo so I can't speak to that but it has a pretty crisp trigger for a small, cheapish 22 semi.

Can't say from personal experience but on the Walther forums, the P22's held in pretty low esteem. Even worse than the CCP.

I speak the truth...Those who know...Truly know.....

A good used K 22 Smith and Wesson is a joy to behold and hold....

Great. Now I need one. Thanks.

 

[JimmieG]

I think you need at least 2-3 for different roles.

Yep..Or six, or seven, or eight, or ten....

That's what I love about this place, I come here for someone to talk some sense into me and find myself surrounded by enablers who are able to make me see the sense in buying several firearms when I probably shouldn't be thinking about buying one

We are in 100% agreement on this.

S&W has been making the 'K frame' revolvers since the late 1800's, and they finally made a totally awesome 'K' in .22LR. The 617 is a bit expensive, but worth every penny.... and a gun that, once you own one, will keep. Forever.

Stainless, single/double action, 10-shot, windage adjustable rear sight. What's not to love!? Accurate as can possibly be, as well.

S&W's page on the 617-

ETA- Save up your pennies, and get one..... because the S&W 617 is easily worth 2-1/2 Rugers.

I have an 8" I'll sell you. Or better yet, trade you for 2 1/2 Rugers.

The Smith Wesson 17 or 617 are more money, but they are worth the wait.

I have a GP100 and a 10/22, I think I'm short a half ruger...

I'm definitely not going to disagree with you, but if you could see what I've bought in the past two years you'd understand when I say that trying to purchase another gun would be taking my life into my own hands... my wife would shoot me! And she wouldn't do it with my ruger or one of the berettas so I could go out with dignity, she'd use my cheap little bersa thunder 380 on me!

Not to worry, he's too rich for my blood, I wouldn't pay 2 1/2 rugers for anything

 

[snowwalker]

I don't quite understand. The Ruger MK series, the Browning Buckmark, and other autoloaders have a horrible grip angle. Why would someone buy a pistol with such an awful grip angle? A revolver I understand, but the autos are just awful.

Besides, I'm already smitten with Bigtanker's Mark II and indiucky's beat up ol' SW (especially the SW)

Can't speak to the Brownings or others, but I LOVE the Ruger Marks. I'm sure I wouldn't care for the angle in bigger calibers, but I love the 22's

But remember, it doesn't have to be an auto, I'm equally indecisive about revolvers too (both SA and DA)

Very wise choice, this revolver will only go up in value as the years go by!!

Well, If you saw his rimfires you would be tempted.

That is all personal preference. Grip angles on most any G**** I have shot suck for me. Just suck but a 1911 angle is perfect. Sane with some revolvers over others.

There is a grip angle for every hand.
