What are some favorite 22 pistols you like for extra reps sincr 9mm prices are disgusting at the moment? 

 

Im looking at the ppq 22 since i have a ppq match and figure its a similar set up, trigger etc. 

Ultimately looking for something relatively reliable (dont want to clear a jam every magazine). 

Would also like to keep around 500.

Ruger SR22 is a blast!

I know you're a big sig fan but my buddy has one and said it always jams. Not sure if that's consistent with all of them. 

The Taurus TX-22 has been flawless for me thus far. (2000k rounds.)

I do like the looks of this, i see they make a 4.5 inch barrel one. 

1911 with a ciener .22lr conversion kit 

Beretta Cheetah model 87bb

otherwise go with a used Ruger MK2

It's the only gun my wife likes.  With the different back straps it comes with, it can fit most any hand perfectly. Mine has never jammed and have fed it almost everything imaginable in .22LR.

I have the SR 22, and recently got the TX-22 and the Riger Wrangler. They are all a lot of fun.

Or you can circumvent the whole P2P hassle by buying a conversion kit for a gun you already have. I have a Tactical Solutions kit for my Glocks, and it runs pretty well, admittedly with an occasional malfunction. 

Can’t go wrong with a Ruger MKIV or 22/45. They are reliable, easy to maintain (now) and backed by tons of aftermarket support.

My only recommendation is that you blue loctite every screw if you get one.

Any of the Ruger Marks...

The newer ones are easy to take apart and clean, but the older ones are awesome, too.  A 5 1/2 inch bull barrel Target Mark II is a treasure.  The lawyerly Mark III can be made better with a couple of upgrades, and then there is the Mark IV with its easy cleaning.  If you like the 1911 grip angle then get the 22/45.  

I am not a fan of the SR22 and I think the S&W M&P 22 Compact is much nicer.  And, you cannot go wrong with a vintage Buckmark with a nice trigger.  

One bit of heads up on the Ruger Mark IV, you may need to do some searching for what you want. I've got one (Standard 4.75 inch barrel) that's "processing" I'm expecting it some time before the election and when I bought that it was apparently the last one they had since the site now says out of stock.

No affiliation with the seller but I saw this one just come up

Do your due diligence, seller has little feedback, ask for a picture with your name written on a piece if paper next to the gun

I have a GSG 1911 .22 — keep it wet and it runs most all ammo

Interesting, never heard of the brand. I'll look into it.

It is the same as the SIG 1911-22.

You could get a CZ 75B and then the conversion kit, or just get the Kadet.

I actually have a cz but i have 2 permits to burn before this year ends also. 

 

Any experience with this ammo

Heard ammo is super important for 22. 

 

Ammo isn’t super important for.22 just remember this 

STAY AWAY FROM REMINGTON BUCKET OF BULLETS— never heard anything good come from remington .22 rimfire ammo

once again, although cheaper, .22 rimfire ammo may be unobtanium

Buy em cheap, stack em deep

The link shows a 50rnd box of 22lr for $64.99... calls it .13 a round?.... guess the are price gouging and changed price but not price per round? As my math makes it $1.2998 lmao

If you select the drop down tab its for 500 round

I see 500 rnd boxes @ $64 —$ 649.00 for 5000

It seems like 22 ammo is still readily available . is this the next caliber to disappear?

Last time it was gone for quite awhile — and expensive when you could find it

I just picked up a Walther P22 and love it.  Only about 50 rounds through it so far though.  I have a friend with one for a long time.  He's run thousands of rounds through it and hasn't had a problem.

Cindy saw a GSG firefly which is the company that made the Sig Mosquito. It's the same gun. It was purple and relatively inexpensive so she had to have it.. It has proven to be a bit picky on ammo but we only have about 200 rounds through it.

The plus is it's a 3/4 size P226. DA trigger is horrible, SA trigger is serviceable.

that cz kit looks great but mine is the p-01

wish sig would come out with one for the 320

When it goes, it'll go hard. Because unlike centerfire ammo where if you can get the tooling you can convert a machine from one cartridge to another,  rimfire rounds have all the capacity they will be getting unless someone starts building out manufacturing. 

Because it is cheap, people tend to go from buying very little to buying a LOT. Right now I think it isn't at the top of the list because a large chunk of what is being bought is stuff suitable for tooling up for civil war. 

And margins on .22LR are thin. Lots more money to made cranking out 9mm. 

The last 22lr I bought was .02 1/2 cents a round delivered.  I simply cannot pass up cheap ammo.  Thunderbolt was the brand and some people scoff at it but it always goes bang for me and the boys and besides, the copper plated stuff is stacked so deep I don't think I can shoot in my lifetime.

$12.50 a brick or $1.25 per box of 50! That must have been quite a while ago. 13 cents per round with order limits seems to be the floor going price!
