SR 22

[I am the cheese]

Has anyone bought one of Rugers SR 22's? I am curious at the reliability and how it functions.

I have one, had a issue early, after 155 rounds, with the take down lever shirring off, ruger fixed it and I've not had one issue since. Shot over 1000 round and runs perfect. Good shooter, very accurate.

You bet, I have one with the threaded barrel (don't know why I got it with the TB, not sure I'll ever put a can on it, but the price was really good). Love the gun. I had a Walther P22 as well, and far as I'm concerned, the SR22 is a better version of the P22. It's crazy fun to shoot, real easy to take down, and pretty accurate I think... it's often my warm-up gun at the range. I've put a variety of ammo through it, from mini-mags to golden bullets, and hardly a hiccup, it's been quite reliable.

My dad has an SR22, and it is one of the most fun guns to shoot. I love it.

He has not had any problems. He has shot a variety of ammo through it, and not had any problems. It seems to eat anything.

My wife's has about 300rds through it with zero problems

Person in my squad had a SR-22 at the Steel Match, he had no issues with his pistol.

So far so good. I got my daughter one. (purple!) And it's immense amounts of fun.

It's not accurate like a target pistol, but I can shoot 1" groups off hand at across the room distances and from sandbags, baseball-size groups at 25 yards.

I have one, but have not yet put very many rounds through it. It's a lot of fun (oh, I say that about all my guns!)

 

[USMC-Johnson]

Amazing little gun. i got mine about 20 minutes from where they are made in arizona...14000 rounds later its still my go to gun. fun to shoot reliable and cheap. not a combo that comes up often.

I have an SR-22, and my father has a Walther p22. I have not had any issues using bulk pack ammo in my Ruger. I have put around a thousand rounds through it. I won't lie it has not been "flawless" but problems are very few and far between. I would also contribute most of the failures on the Ammo. My fathers Walther is much more particular on its diet, and seems to have many more hang ups.

Love mine, recommend to anyone

I rented one at a local range once. It was enough to make me seriously consider buying one. I spent about an hour with it (pricey!) and put a couple hundred .22 golden bullets through it with hardly any issues. What issues I did have proved to be a nice opportunity to practice clearing a malfunction. I'm looking to buy one when I have the funds available for practicing technique.

I have one and shot 50 rounds ea of Blazer,Win white box and UMC Thunder Bolts. Only issue was 3 failure to feed with the thunder bolts and it also left lead deposits in the barrel. I will not shoot any Thunder Bolts in any gun I own again to much work to clean after words.

Rural King has SR-22's on sale this week $279.99 plus Sat. and Sun. no sales tax will be charged. Great price, and it is a fun gun to shoot.

 

[rausch51]

$279? You're killing me! It'd cost me more in gas to drive to a RK than I would save over buying it local. Dang though, thats a great price!

Love mine, recommend to anyone

Same here! Lots of fun. Now if I could just buy ammo.

With out a doubt, my SR-22 is more fun to shoot, than anything else I own. Unbelievably accurate, and likes most ammo.
One thing to watch. The magazine can look as if it is all the way in, while it is not. Make sure you hear the faint click, before
trying to shoot one.
