What 22LR Pistol

Recommended Posts

My father is looking for a 22LR pistol, he had tried the Ruger MKIII Hunter and doesn't like the weight, he had also tried my GSG 1911 and like the weight and feel but it doesn't say buy me to him. He has looked at the Ruger SR22, I think it looks likes a Walther P22 but don't know anything about it.

 

I know what I would suggest, but looking for other ideas of guns that are similar in size and weight to the Ruger SR 22 and even a couple oz heavier but not by much.

I am interested in picking up a 22lr pistol as well and am just about to start doing some research. I need to brush up on my rim-fire ammunition types. Don't some wheel guns offer a changeable cyclinder to handle 22 mag's?

Yes I have seen that, I just can't remember with only a half a cup of Coffee in me who and what model, but I'd bet someone will be along in no time to post that info.

 

We can run with both questions in the thread being I just might be looking for another wheelie 22LR/Combo down the road.

The Ruger Single Six and Single Ten "Convertible" models come with two cylinders - one for for 22LR and one for 22 MAG.

 

I was looking at them at Caso's a little while ago, but went with something else. Seems like a good value / selling point, though I have hardly any experience with the Single Six models, so I can't say much else about them.

The miniature Browning 1911-22, though pricey, seems to be a nice gun. What does he want this for?

 

The Ruger LCR in .22 would also be a handy "little" gun. He might also want to checkout the Bersa .22LR. My choice for a .22LR at the moment would be the substantial and not light CZ Kadet. I also like the Glock Advantage Arms kit. That makes for a really light, almost too light, .22 on a G19 or G23.

Noted, just one question, how did he break the gun in? I like to clean before shooting all my guns, but if I have any FTF's/FTE's or anything, I run them a little wet and let them get dirty and use the dirt and extra lube to have them lap themselves in. I also like my 22LR's to run on Federal Bulk 525 packs and if they are real picky with ammo, I probably won't hang on to them long.

Harry, I got an M&P 22 a couple of months ago and I love it! With that being said, I had originally set out to get the Mark III Hunter... but got the M&P instead. It's a really fun pistol, the ergonomics are excellent and I have a great time with it. I have one permit left though and I'm still interested in the Mark III and want a long range target pistol... so I might end up with the Mark III too anyway.

Sorry to hijack on this.

 

My concern with the semi-autos is their sensitivity to ammo choices. Say Agilia'sBlue Boxed "Super Sniper Sub-Sonic", or other 'specialty' rounds that are sub-sonic. I have a 22lr slide for my Sig 229 that I practice with and it works well with CCI sub-sonic ammo, but not so good with the Agila Sniper Secret Squirell stuff. My 10/22 isn't 100% reliable with some of these SS rounds either.

 

For me, sub-sonic is key here in NJ. That extra 150+fps seems to develop more curiosity from my not so immeidate neighbors. A wheel gun is reliable with anything. Then you can step up to the 22 mag's when it is go time.

 

Thanks for letting me tag along here.

I love my SR22. I throw blazers through it. It actually is known for eating anything from what I have read and saw. The only issue I had with it is I didn't have the spring on the guide rod installed properly. it has to be put over this little raised area at the bottom of the rod. Other than that it is sweet. Really fun to shoot. When I was renting I tried the GSG and I liked it other than the fact the range gave me a filthy gun that had FTF/FTE's like crazy. The gun is not known for that though. I don't think you can go wrong with the SR22, GSG 1911-22 or the M&P. I guess it all comes down to feel. The MK's are too weird looking for my taste.

I have the Ruger SR22 and would recommend it highly. When I first saw pics of it I thought it was a small gun but once I was able to put my hands around it I realized it wasn't that small. I did end up putting the larger grips on it for a better fit. It is almost the identical size as the Ruger SR9c.

I know originally he broke it down and oiled it up to loosen the slide action then he shot a 100 CCI rounds expierienceing some FTFS then completely broke it down and cleaned it , next shot another 100-150 rounds with similar results , the last range visit he put 300 rounds through her and the last 100 were nothing but a nightmare using some CCI and FEDERAL ammo , lots of jams and ftf , he then broke it down and it was definitely dirty

I've currently got one for sale in the Market. Never had an issue with FTF. FTE, that's another story when using Remington.

 

I use Federal 22LR and don't have problems. The times it does FTE or load you can tell it is a round issue, and NOT the firearm. For whatever reasons (quality control of a MASSIVELY produced round IMO) some of the loads are light, and not enough to kick the slide back far enough to catch the next load.

    • Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, has achieved a monumental victory. A New Jersey court has dismissed all 80 charges against him, charges that stemmed from his bold decision to reopen his gym in direct defiance of Democrat Governor Phil Murphy’s tyrannical COVID-19 lockdown orders. The saga began in May 2020, when Smith reopened Atilis Gym, challenging the Murphy administration’s mandates, which he and his supporters argue are unconstitutional and detrimental to small businesses. The confrontation escalated in July 2020 when police officers forcefully arrested Smith after he continually violated the state’s shutdown orders.   A swarm of police officers burst through the door of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey arrested the owners for violating Governor Murphy’s authoritarian shutdown order. “Well, this was a first,” Dowlen said in a Facebook post. “I stayed the night in the gym writing, my book clients Ian & Frank were just waking up, I’m gathering my computer & notebooks, just waiting for the guys to come out for a few final questions, and then a SWARM of Camden County Sheriffs & local Bellmawr police (with K-9 units waiting in a vehicle) come bursting thru the door….to me, sitting there, writing, by myself. First & foremost, the law enforcement officers were polite & respectful. Look for my video footage on national channels. And tonight/this morning, I am writing this new book chapter right now!!!” WATCH:   The state’s aggressive response did not end with the arrest. In a controversial move, Governor Murphy and his administration seized $165,000 from the gym’s accounts—funds that Smith claims were amassed through donations and apparel sales to support the gym’s legal battles. This act was a punitive strike meant to cripple the gym financially and serve as a stern warning to others who might consider similar defiance. “Governor Phil Murphy seized 100% of our assets today – $165k, all of which came from donations and apparel sales. This is done in the middle of ongoing litigation defending ourselves against these fines, our 80 charges, the revocation of our business license, and the unconstitutional health department shutdown. This was never about protection, it was always about control,” said Smith in a video statement in January 2021. On Saturday, Smith announced that the court dropped all charges with prejudice. This means the state is utterly barred from refiling these charges against Smith and Atilis Gym, signaling a definitive victory for the small business owner and a stinging rebuke of Gov. Murphy’s authoritarian tactics. Smith did not mince words, directly challenging Governor Murphy with a phrase that has since gone viral: “Suck my d—k Phil Murphy.” Smith released the following statement on X:     https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/new-jersey-court-throws-80-charges-against-brave/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-jersey-court-throws-80-charges-against-brave
    • Saw a new gun shop open up in East Hanover  called Point Blank. Haven’t had the chance to drop in, and they don’t seem to respond to emails. Anyone have any experience with them?   transfer costs? Do they have a blacksmith that does compliance work?
