Browning buckmark. I tried a ruger mk iii as they are always highly recommended. Sold it after I cleaned it the first time. Was such a pain and 22 isn't clean ammo which didn't make for a good combination imo.

LOL  I hear that a lot and the first time you do it, you think why in the h311 did they design a gun like this, but after you do it a couple times it's easy peasy.

I got rid of mine for the exact same reason.  What a hunk of junk....surely they could have made it easier to take apart and put back together.   :tup:

Single six. Most versatile.22 on the market. Plenty accurate, I use the lr cylinder for small game a plinking, I use the magnum with shot shells for snakes. Honestly if I could only have one handgun I don't know that I could not pick it.

My brother and I both have the mk iii and were just recently commenting on how much of a PITA they are to take down. He was saying the guy at the gun shop told him he wouldn't believe the number of people that bring their gun in in pieces and ask them to put it back together for them.  :chuckle:

Just watched a youtube video and it looks amazing.  May change my mind about the the ruger .22's.

I've been happy with my Browning Buckmark.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

In the Mk III's defense, they'll run for thousands and thousands of rounds between cleanings so it's not like you have to take them apart a lot.

I've owned two Ruger Mk III SS Target models.  My first one I bought new back in the mid 90's and started shooting it right out of the box.  Easily had well over 5000 rounds through it and never had it apart a single time and it never missed a beat.  Lost custody of it in a divorce and bought another just like it.

To me, the heft of the Mk III feels much better in my hands and I like how the wrap around Hogue grip feels better than my 22/45 Lite, but the Lite has the threaded barrel and I can shoot it suppressed so I hardly ever shoot the Mk III.

I have many .22 pistols.  The most accurate one I have shot is a $150 Heritage Rough Rider.  6 shot single action.  Action in not as slick as the Rugers, the bluing is cheap but the thing drives tacks.


I love my Heritage.22 with 4.25" barrel

Great guns for kids also. The single action makes them think before shooting each round.
