Whats a good .22 pistol to get, no real knowledgable on .22s

[DSmith78]

Ive never really been into .22s so i honestly dont know alot about them. With ammo being so expensive anymore and not interested in reloading my own i thought about getting a .22 pistol to go out and target shoot and basically play around with when we go out and shoot with friends.

Browning Buckmark.

 

[iamaclone45]

Ruger Mark III or Ruger Mark 22/45.

Just go to Youtube to learn how to reassemble it if you go this route.

If you want a pure target/hunting/plinking pistol:

S&W 41 (or 22)
Browning Buck Mark
Ruger Mark II or III (incl. 22/45)
Beretta Neos

If you want something that is similar to a carry gun for training in addition to plinking:

Ruger SR22
S&W M&P 22
Walther P22 (some people swear by them, some swear at them)

Good luck!

I'm quite happy with my Ruger SR22, and readily recommend it.

I recommend the GSG1911, myself.

Do this and don't let people scare you with their stories of how difficult it is to strip these for cleaning. The first time I did it, it took me less than 10 minutes to strip it down and put it back together. It is not difficult if you have been around firearms for any length of time cleaning them.

Oh, and you will get everyone's preference on what they like, not necessarily the "best" .22 for you.

I have had a Buckmark and now I have a Ruger MK II. I really like the MKII. I didn't really like the 22/45. The grip angle was good(I shoot a 1911), but the balance did not feel as good as the MkII due to the polymer frame on the 22/45.

My MKII is currently stock, but I plan on adding a Volquartsen trigger when I catch a good sale on one.

I like my buckmark. Wouldn't mind having a ruger single 6 though.

Be prepared most .22s only come with one mag. Extras will run close to $30 each. And since shooting .22s is so fun and cheap you will NEED extras.

 

[chezuki]

High Standard. Good luck finding one.

Edit: the older ones made in Connecticut. The new company in Texas is not the same quality.

 

[Tim Enyeart]

Probably not the best for target but the Walther P22 is a lot of fun to shoot 25 yards or less. Fun to transition back and forth with my GSG 522.

Depends on what you want to spend and whether you like a SA pistol or a revolver. I think the Browning Buckmark or Ruger Mk are great pistols that you will get a lot of enjoyment out of for many years to come.

 

[logain]

I recommend the GSG1911, myself.

 

[SERparacord]

S&W MP 22.

 

[HoughMade]

....Oh yeah....revolvers. There are a bunch of Rugers that would be great and some have an interchangeable cylinder to allow for the use of .22 Mag.

 

[Zoub]

IMHO and is my next one.

Ruger 22/45 Lite™ Rimfire Pistol Models

 

[bdybdall]

Why stop with one? I've got three and who knows what I'll get next. S&W 41? S&W M&P22? An old High Standard? I just shot a friend's S&W 422 or 622, I'm not sure. Anyway, he caught me before I could make off with it. Maybe a Sig Mosquito. Quien sabe?

 

[686 Shooter]

I think there are a lot of .22s that are fun to shoot, my first choice would be S&W revolvers.

I have others and have had several Ruger Mk series, never had any problems with any of the Rugers. Ruger Chargers are a lot of fun to shoot and can be bought fairly cheap.
I bought this Benelli several years ago, it's way more accurate than I can shoot and a lot of fun to shoot.

No matter what you buy, .22s are a lot of fun and you probably get the most bang for your buck with one.

 

[snowrs]

Yep why stop with one I have the following
Browning Buckmark
GSG1911
K22 Masterpiece
High Standard HD
Ruger SR22

They are all really good guns and would recommend any of them.

 

[gglass]

For my , I would recommend the GSG1911-22. Mine has almost 30,000 rounds down the pipe and is still going strong.
