im looking to get a 22lr pistol. i have a 2 22lr rifles and want to get a pistol to share the cheap ammo with. Anyone have any ideas on a cheap pistol i can get? i was looking at the chiappa 1911 but i wasnt sure if it was junk or not. anyone know about that? also any other 22lr pistols you guys have in mind that i can find cheap? I would rather buy a used pistol than a new one right now. Please let me know

thanks

Gonna refer you to this thread right here:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8284

thanks. but any ideas other than the chiappa?

My point was that there's already another thread on this very same topic. Didn't want there to be duplicates and there are some very good suggestions there (Ruger Mark III, Sig Mosquito, etc).

Ruger 22's are awesome and disassembly/reassembly takes a little getting used to and is not as difficult as some say.

Chiappa was written up in American Rifleman and reported to be a good one. I've handled one but not shot one.

Smith and Wesson also makes an inexpensive 22, they're nice.

As far .22's go, the most popular seem to be the Ruger MK series, and the Browning Buckmarks...I don't think they are the cheapest, but cheap isn't always the way to go...

The Smith 22A is good and inexpensive new. Many of the members of my club have them and like them.

thanks guys,

im waiting for my permit to come back its been 3 weeks so once it comes back ill be looking for a used one if anyone has anything before i buy new. Just looking to get something to have fun with and not spend too much.

Go with one of the big three: Ruger, S&W or Browning. You may save money with a cheap gun but you will be spending money for a unpleasant experience. Save your money and buy a gun that brings you enjoyment.
