Who else loves .22lr pistols?

[Kirk Freeman]

Everyone loves a good .22. Economical training and guns are just so utilitarian. Here are some of mine:

O.K., so I'm not Oleg Volk.

From top to bottom, Left column: Ruger Single Six, Erma/Luger, Smith M63

Center column: Smith M17, Smith M17 (with Tyler T), Smith 18, Colt Trooper III

Right column: Ruger MkII 22/45s, bottom one has Gemtech integral suppressor.

Nice collection, I would really like to get a .22 handgun some day for the reason you listed. Which one is your favorite and why ?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Favorite? Hmmm.

If I had to give you a favorite, I would say the top Smith M17.

Very well made, wonderful trigger and the revolver was made when Smith put a lot of effort into every pistol. I'm not an accuracy nut, but for a mediocre shot like me, the pistol is wwaaay more accurate than it needs to be.

If you want a .22 and like 1911s, have you considered making your own as I did for my nephew?

 

[wtfd661]

I thought about getting the conversion for my Kimber TLE, but kinda of figured for $300 I would just get a new gun. If you don't mind me asking how much do you have in your nephews gun ?

I've been considering a .22 pistol, but I've read so much about different brands and models jamming due to the smallness of the round, with the barrel getting fouled up. Does SW still make the M17?

You can't go wrong with the Ruger 22lr's. I have an Mark I that I take out and shoot just for fun. Economical to shoot, and extremely accurate. It's an oldie but a goodie!!!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Does SW still make the M17?

The Smith M617, 4" and 6" tubes.

 

[snake-doctor]

I just to have the Ruger. I just couldn't tolerate that complicated disassembly/reassembly. I could never get the hang of it.

I like that M17 btw!

I traded for the frame and Ciener kit so kind of hard to give exact number.

I'd say between $500 and $600 with parts and labor.

I have the little Berretta 22a, a Browning Buckmark, Ruger Single Six. I would love one of the old Smith revolvers... maybe one of these days.

 

[JByer323]

This kid loves anything in .22, period.

 

[MeltonLaw]

I have the S&W 22A with a decent scope on it. Pretty nice but eh. I have been a revolver guy since I was gifted my Security Six when I was a teenager. Just shot a nice S&W .22 revolver today. Just need to get one now.

 

[tatters]

Like an idiot, I traded my S&W 22a... Not because of the deal, but because now I want another one.

I have a Buckmark. Very nice. I also have a Phoenix Arms HP-22.

I had a Ruger Mark II... great gun but I also hated the way it broke down.

My son wants a Sig Mosquito, for the rage, I don't know anything about it, thoughts?

 

[packing_preacher]

I've got an H&R .22. It's fun shooting and solidly built.
