Ruger SR22

[NITROMALLMGR1]

It's on my 2012 wish list. Ruger shows MSRP of $ 399. Initial reports give this 22 very high marks.

ok...i saw one today and the hammer pull is really long and i had to pull it a couple times to get it to lock into single action...i hope it has a good safety mechanism because the hammer could slip out of your hand easily

I would have to shoot one first before I made any judgements. I'm like that though.

Looks like it only took them about 2 weeks to answer my request in the LCR 22 thread

I rented a Walther P22 this weekend for the wife. I bought a Ruger SR-22 today ($306.00 + tax). I can tell you that the Ruger is by far better quality than the Walther. Think of the GSG 1911-22 compared to the Chiappa 1911-22. The Chiappa will get the job done but the GSG is by far nicer quality. If thing eats amo like all the reviews have said so far ruger will have a winner and will sell tons. I think looks are in the eye of the beholder. I think it looks cool and better in person. Working all of the functions Slide,Safety,mag release and even loading mags should be a breeze for the wife. After getting my Ruger SR9c I am becoming a Ruger Fan Boy. If I can get it away from the wife I will get some pictures and a range report this weekend.

Where did you pick it up at? I too carry an SR9c and love it. Are the controls, size, weight, ect similar to the SR9 series pistols? I think it would be awesome (and cheap) to be able to train with the .22, if it is similar to my SR9c

I picked mine up at Four guns here in Lafayette. They have 2 more I believe. This SR-22 is quite a bit smaller than the SR9c. I am not sure there will be value in practiceing with the SR-22 for the SR9c. I will try to take pictures tonite of the 2 together.

As far as getting Crucified for being a Ruger fan. Let it begin!!!! I was a Glock fan until I found out how much I hated the way they felt when I picked up other guns. If I had 5 Glocks right now I would go trade them for 7 Rugers. I do like XDM's though. Jim

That guy Iain from Top Shot did a review, although I haven't watched it.

Iain Harrison Reviews the Ruger SR22 - Guns & Ammo

 

[malern28us]

why is it only a 10 round mag? Surely someone else at Ruger can count to 15?

 

[TheFireArmorer]

I really like the look of it and it definitely should be a nice gun on the basis of quality of guns ruger has produced over the years. Just don't know if i'll like the price lol...

I was wrong when I said that the SR-22 was alot smaller than the SR9c, They are actually pretty darn close. The SR-22 sure does feel alot smaller in the hand I think because of the smaller grip. My wife actually liked the bigger grip over the smaller grip. She had no problems manipulating all the functions of the gun. Like I said before if it shoots as good as it looks and Feels this gun will be a keeper. Here are some pictures of the SR9c next to the SR-22. Jim

I also have both the sr9c and the sr-22 pistol, I agree with your comment about the grip. I can get all 4 finger on the grip of the sr-22 with the flat bottom magazine but I can't comfortably get my pinky finger on the grip of the sr9c with the flat bottom 10 round magazine. The sr22 also feel much lighter even though there is only a 6 oz difference.

The SR-22 has a push up to disengage the safety whereas the sr9c has a push doen to turn off the safety. Other than that they are similar enough for someone like me who has only been shooting for less than a year.

I have over 600 rounds through my sr-22, I have definitely been able to improve my general shooting technique a bit. I have had only 1 failure to feed, I think it was due to the value pack federal ammo not cycling the slide though

There are LOTS of Ruger fans on INGO; I've never heard anyone get lambasted for being one.

Only negative thing I've heard against Ruger was a member said his Baby Glock was much better than the SR9. Didn't show his test results.

 

[maxmayhem]

rugers are good guns...just the semi auto pistols are kind of ugly in my opinion but my next purchase is going to be a dog ugly ruger mark III

Interesting about the safety on it. I wonder what prompted Ruger to deviate (from what I can tell), from their other safety set ups. Are there any other Ruger Pistols out there that have the "up to Fire" type safety on them. From what I remembered they are all down to fire.

I think maybe the Ruger P95 has the "Up to fire" & "down to engage safety/decock" design, but I have never held one.
