Suggestions for a .22LR Pistol

[Ronald_55]

Guys

Just thought I would update you. I did get that Taurus Model 94 Ultra-lite Nine. I ran 50 rounds through it and was really pleased. The sights are good, it feels good in my hand, and works like a charm. This model does have to hammer key lock, but I will probably never set it. I did get the keys and manual with it but no box. I am pleases for now, but I have decided I need a SR22 also. I will probably get the 3.5" threaded barrel model just in case the whole HPA goes through. I wish the 4.5" model came in a threaded barrel.

You want the shorter barrel with a threaded muzzle. You will be able to shoot cheap bulk pack 22 and it will remain subsonic. With a 4.5" barrel certain brands will be supersonic and they will be about as loud as without a silencer.

Thanks. As always you are a wealth of knowledge. I would have never known that.

I've had a PT-22 for several years, and never had it function reliably that I can remember. I do need to go test it again, and take the Mosquito with it [another nice .22lr that isn't reliable] I will say this....the PT-22 is a sweet little single shot, and will easily fit in the pocket, any pocket, VERY comfortably. I really like it, and it also gets carried around the property, to the mailbox, etc. Very easy (and fast) to use as a single shot.

Update:  Finally took the time to re-test the PT-22 and the Sig [GSG] Mosquito. Had both springs for the Mosquito, and the light spring ran like a champ, even with high velocity ammo (like CCI mini-mags)

Don't know what happened years ago....but seven different ammo worked excellent, with ZERO malfunctions......until I used Federal Lightning-it sucked. Made me [had the spouse do it] go dig up the notes/reports

from before. Yep, the problems were from the cheap Federal Lightning.......and the same thing happened with the PT-22. SMDH !!!!!!!!

I had a weird idea. I had a box of Federal Champion 9mm Luger, and since I never had a malfunction with the new Canik TP9SF, I thought I would try it.....2 FTL (stovepipe) problems in 10 rounds.

PT-22 and Mosquito worked like a charm with mini-mags, Win Wildcats, Rem Cyclone, Win Super X, Blazer, Fiocchi.....forgot to try Rem Goldens. [pause].......took some Goldens out on the back porch

just now......worked fine.

Only problem I have with the PT-22......it shoots left of POA.
