Ruger SR22

[jeepfreek]

Bought one for my 9 year old sons birthday and we took it out to Jasper Pulaski this morning for the first time to shoot it.

We had a ball shooting that thing! Such a comfortable little gun to plink with. We nearly went through a box of 525!

Did have a couple of failures to chamber the next round but I am not asking it to be flawless out of the box literally. I was seriously shocked at how much fun that little gun was. Perfect is all I could think of for showing new shooters how to properly work with and respect the firearm with not much recoil at all.

Now to get my wife out there with it....

I have one, and I have taught a few people how to shoot with it. When the weather is a little nicer, I plan to get my daughter out to learn on it as well.

Great gun.

I have a Ruger 22/45 lite , it is a blast to shoot Ruger makes a good gun, now if only we could buy ammo we could even have more fun

If I may ask, how much did you pay for it?

I saw one at the Castleton Gander Mountain for $325 at their grand reopening weekend. Not sure if that was sale priced, but I saw another at a LGS for 400 recently as well.

Jasper Rural King has them for $379. A little high but I wanted one and could not catch one anywhere else.

Would be nice if mine would shoot anything! The only thing it will run is CCI mini mags atleast that is what the Ruger tech says. I tried 4 different types of ammo and had FTEs like crazy. Around 4-7 every mag. Been to Ruger twice and tech cannot get the gun to malfunction using mini mags and states that using bulk ammo will cause the gun to malfunction. It can't even get the spent brass out of the chamber and is shaving the top off the next round.

This time they sent a new mag back with the gun, that's great as it happened with both magazines.

I'm at a loss as to what to do. Really pisses me off that they aren't doing anything. Neither is the big box store we bought it from either.

I paid $400 out the door. I know it was more than average but I had to have it in time for my sons birthday. One of the big benefits I've seen with them is that they aren't picky on what they shoot so not sure what's going on with yours Exodus.

I still can't get over how fun it was to shoot. Still have grins on our faces.

We have one as a rental at our range, thousands of rounds through without a problem.
High velocity rounds work great.
Dirty as heck sometimes and still no issues.

Great gun all around. Love mine. I agree a great training gun. Drop free mags, safety in the correct place, etc.

Never had a problem with various brands through mine either...just keeps on shootin'...which makes it so fun to shoot and teach my family

I love my SR-22's. Very well made little plinker! I have one with just at 1000rnds that has been totally reliable. Had a couple of FTE in the first 50rnds, but cleaned it and have not looked back. I will attribute those to break in. Mine will cycle all the cheap bulk ammo just fine.

Tried Winchester Xpert high velocity, wwb, federal lightning, Remington thunderbolt and nothing ran. The Remington was the best about three fte per mag.

Went to ruger this last time with a spent brass stuck in the chamber.

I paid $349 at Indy 1500 it like the cci Mimi mags the best, feeds every time

Guess I got one of the good ones! Still new, less than 100 rounds, but fun to shoot and a 7 inch shot pattern from 25 feet. Would like to believe I can get better. Has shot anything bulk ammo I have used, no problems.

SR22 might just have to be my next purchase. Now if only there were ammo available for it...

It would be interesting to see if a very light buffing with some flitz of the chamber would help yours any.

I was going to wait and pick it up sat after idpa but I think I might drive down today and get it so that I can mess with it as I'm off the rest of the week.

Safety is in the right place, its just backwards from how it should be, not sure what ruger was thinking when they did that..
