best .22 handgun

[Guest tlondon]

I had a mosquito and hated it. it jammed about every 3rd or 4th round, so I sold it and the guy that bought it has not had a problem with it. Go figure. (I guess it was the operator). I like the ruger mark2 or a browning buckmark.

MY FIRST REAL/TRUE LOVE WAS A HIGH STANDARD SPORT KING.

THAT WAS A LOOOOONG TIME AGO ---- WISH I HAD IT TODAY.

SPOILED ME FOR SEVERAL OTHERS OVER THE YEARS.

THERE ARE A FEW DECENT ONES OUT THERE YET. HIT & MISS THOUGH. [NO PUN INTENDED]

THANKS,

BOB

I like the ruger's, then the walther p22.

Lots of good .22 guns out there. For the price the Beretta Neos is a good little gun. Easy to break down and clean and has been reliable for me. I have gotten to be a big .22 shooter these days. Good fun and a cheap trip to the range ammo wise.

It Ruger 4 me...

[Guest FroggyOne2]

I think that Rugers are hit or miss.. they are ok for plinking..

If you have a .45 frame.. you should look in to this. http://www.marvelprecision.com/

I also like the S&W Mod 41

Ruger Single-six in 6 inch is great. Have put many rounds through it. Began two years ago to check. Up to 3k and still accurate. Just wish I could shoot better. I do shoot it much more now that a trip to the range could easily cost $40. With this baby it is still just a few bucks. I like it more each day.

My favorite is my Browning Nomad... this was my dad's plinker and it's still dead accurate and loads of fun to shoot. I recently bought a Ruger Single Six and am having lots of fun with it as well. I love the 22 Magnum chamber option. I have a friend who has asked me to sell her deceased husband's Ruger Mark I, so I've done a bit of shooting with it to try it out. Also a very nice gun, lots of fun to shoot. Once you get the hang of its disassembly and re-assembly I give it two thumbs up as well.

So yes, I am enjoying going to the range and shooting lots of 22's at a low price, but I always make sure to bring along my S&W 686 and some 357 mags for the big bang thrill.

Finally, there's another way I keep up my target skills without even a trip to the range: I've got a S&W 586 air pistol (CO2 cartridge, ten pellet magazine) that is incredibly accurate, feels just like a real 586 (weight, size... just not the recoil). I can shoot this for hours and have lots of fun with nearly zero cost! Highly recommended.

Holy bring a thread back from the dead Batman

I recently had the pleasure of playing with a Mosquito and wow! It was defiantly a hoot.Its now on my list

Agree. Liked it so much I bought a used one last summer. Toying with the idea of a can for it.

Actually forgot to make my choice for the poll. Ruger has a high quaility, low price you can't beat. Brownings are wonderful. But my handsdown favorite is the High Standard Olympic that my father shot with. A close second is my K22 Masterpiece.

It's funny. I think recoil is like heroin, you need more and more to get the same effect.

Last time I shot .22 I found myself thinking, this thing just doesnt have enough kick to it.

Kick? You need some Mountain Dew.

You do realize you are responding to a post of a banned member that is over two years old right?

Yes, I do. But it's fun to get in a comment on Bill without him being able to respond.

[Guest 85rx-7gsl-se]

I guess he was before my time so I dont know the background story. Carry on

[Guest Glockster27]

My vote is for the Sig Sauer Mosquito. Once you get the right ammo it is a very nice weapon to shoot. Some people say the magazines are pricey, BUT so is every Sig magazine. My 11 year old son loves this weapon and will put 300 - 500 rounds through it every time he goes to the range with me (which is every time). The enjoyment he gets from shooting it makes every penny worth it to me.

S&W 22A. I really like it, accurate, eats most anything, smooth trigger. Also have two barrels for it, a 4" and 7" with a Red Dot that's easy to swap and it's easy to clean.

Got a itch for a BuckMark and/or a 41,... and a PX4, P238 and...it never stops.

[Guest FroggyOne2]
