Which .22LR pistol...hmmm

[JayBone]

I just went with the Colt/Walther Gold Cup Trophy 1911 22lr. Also considered the Sig/GSG 1911, The M&P22, Ruger 22/45, & SR22. Pretty much in that order as I made my decision. Wanted an all metal gun. Would of been happy with any of them. I've shot them all except the Sig. Chose the Colt Walther over the Sig GSG just by gut, and it had a 12 round mag. But I did like the Sig too. Took me forever to decide.

I just picked up a Beretta Neos U22 plinker pistol for $260. A very cool looking piece, IMO.

Another vote for the Ruger SR22. I bought one about a year ago and man its a great little gun. As others have said already it eats everything and not a problem cleaning. I just started teaching my daughters to shoot and they both love the gun also!

Ruger SR22 gets my vote. Great little gun, no problems whatsoever.

MkII or MkIII

I've owned Colt, Browning, Beretta, GSG, Sig, S&W, Walther, and Ruger .22 pistols, 19 different ones at last count. The MKii and MKiii were the only ones I didn't eventually sell.

There is a member on here that is selling a M&P22 that I think looks great. A lot of the other M&P's I have looked at look kind of plain, but something about this one catches my eye. Now here I am trying to figure out how I can work out buying the M&P, the SR22, and the MkII...what have you all done to me?!

I imagine you have already made you choice by now, but here is my . I would go with the Mark lll, I have one and it has never jammed. I hit bullseye often at 25 yards, its not scoped. I love it. Eats everything.

Other members have said that the Mark III and Mark II are the same gun, but the Mark III has more safety features. That being said, wouldn't it be better to get the Mark II, since I would be saving around $200? That's a lot of ammo....assuming I can find any.

I have a vintage 1976 Ruger Mark I that has been in my family since it was new. It was my wife's grandfathers and whenever family was visiting his farm the guys would often end up shooting into a steep sand bank next to the house. There's no way to tell how many rounds that gun has fired over the years and it's still in great shape, and still runs without a hiccup.

Good luck finding a nice used Mark II for less than than a new Mark III

Clearly you didn't read the beginning...haha my dad has one that probably has 100rounds through it, and he never uses it. I'm going to see if I can't take it from him for $150, which is significantly less than a new Mark III...

 

[bauerr3]

I asked my dad about the Mark II, and while he said he didn't want to sell it, he said I could use it while I was searching for my own. That being said, I have decided to choose between the Mark III, M&P22 and the SR22.

Also, I found some .22LR CCI's, but in standard velocity. Will that still cycle through the Mark II as flawless as the rest? It is priced very cheap, and I wouldn't want to miss out if it works.

I really enjoy shooting the the Ruger Mark III. And it's my favorite .22 to shoot! And I have never had any problems with it, except it is very tough to take apart.

Hold out for a nice used mark II. Use your dads until you find one.

personally, I refused to buy a mkIII due to the lawyer safeties they put on them, and just went through the same thing you are. I ended up waiting about 2 months for the right deal to pop up. Keep your eye on the classifieds here and on armslist. If they seem overpriced, call the people up and talk to them.

Nice compliment to;

MkII club checking in. Well worth the wait.

Exactly. I cant answer concerning the Mark ll, I only have had the Mark lll. They are not the same gun.

Is the Mark II a good gun to learn how to disassemble/clean? I want to learn as much as possible with my first gun, so that way I will be prepared for my next one!
