Which .22 to buy?

Recommended Posts

I was going to get a Buck Mark Camper but I saw the grips on yours and changed my order to this:

Did you get it yet? How does it shoot? I'm thinking of getting one too. A guy I work with said the Buck Mark will eat any garbage ammo you put through it so I was curious if there's any truth to that... I can't see the point of having a .22 pistol to shoot cheap ammo if it'll only shoot CCI Minimags(S&W 22A or Sig Mosquito).

I have that exact model Buckmark. I bought it nearly 3 years ago and have put many bricks through it. It is very accurate, has a great trigger out of the box, feels good in my hands and eats almost anything. The only problem I ever had was fte (squibs) on a few Fed. Automatch rounds but that was due to a well documented problem Federal had with a few batches . It works flawlessly with higher-end ammo and with bulk stuff like Federal Champion and Automatch (except as noted).

That's good to know. I'm going to need to go again to verify, but it seems my 22A's favorite food is CCI standard velocity. Who'd athunkit. =) So I might hold off on another .22 since I'm having good results now. I might have to get that Sig 226 I've been drooling over instead of the Buck Mark. :twisted:

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
