.22 pistol

[Brownie28]

Lookin for some reccomendations for a .22 pistol. would like to stick with a revolver thinking a single six or maybe a bear cat but i would like to be able to shoot both .22 and .22mag. any suggestions and pics would be appreciated

I owned a single six for awhile, it was so-so in accuracy and a pain to load/unload.  I prefer S&W revolvers or Ruger semi-autos.

[Huntbear]

Single Sixes are great little revolvers, but not real accurate, not like the semi autos out there that shoot just .22 LR.

I have a Sig Mosquito and I hate it. trigger sucks, lots of travel and it will only cycle CCI Mini Mags. wont shoot anything else. pretty gun though

[JackOfAllTrades]

'Pretty',  doesn't make a shooter. 

As said earlier, the convertible revolvers that shoot 22mag and 22rf, are generally not as accurate as thier bretheren.

A good shooting 22rf revolver is the Smith & Wesson K22.

If you want something more accurate than that then buy a semi auto like a Browning Buckmark or Ruger MK series.

if you consider a semi...look into a browning buckmark....i have one and absolutly love it...its my grouse gun...very accurate gun

[JimmyHoffa]

the ruger MKs are great.  I found them to be plenty accurate and reliable.  I have some off brand that looks like a 1911 scaled down and it is horrible, makes me really appreciate the ruger.

I too will second the buckmark, I have had two.  I shoot the cheap Remington stuff and can hit a 6" plate off hand at 50 yards 8 out of 10 times easy.  Both would not cycle the cheap stuff until it was well broken in (at least a couple thousand rounds).  They are pretty inexpensive too.

There are lots of good ones out there. I like the bear cat's and also the ruger mk series

[thinkingman]

I have a Buckmark, two Rugers, a Colt New Frontier Scout, and a new-to-me SW 34-1 (SA/DA 6shot revo on a J-frame, 4in barrel).
I love shooting the Buckmark...smooth, accurate, same ergonomics as a 1911.
Next is the SW 34...just as fine as my 686, amazing SA trigger, good ergos, more convenient to load/unload than the Colt (SA with a loading gate).
My two Rugers are OK, both needing buff and fluff to operate anywhere near the Buckmark.
I would not buy another Ruger.
Looked briefly at the Bearcat..cool looking but I'd pass.

I've had 2 single sixes, not sure why some say they aren't accurate- never had that problem.  They are slow to load.

[kckrawler]

Single Sixes are great little revolvers  It was my first pistol and I still carry it. That thing has killed many grouse, rabbits, rats, and squirrels when I was a kid...so they're accurate enough.

Never heard that single six's are not accurate.  Every one I have been around shoot beyond great! Most people dont like loading and unloading due to the time it takes, it does not bother me. Once a shooter gets a rythem down loading and unloading is not a bother, especially when you are shooting tight groups! The single six is about as quality of a pistol you will find. 22lr or mag, the single six shoots very well. I also like the Ruger 22/45, 22lr semi auto pistol with the bull barrel. Another very accurate pistol.

Agreed!  I could hit a pop can with my long barreled one at 100 yards. (Single Six)

I love the single-six. I've never heard anyone complain about accuracy. It's certainly more accurate than I am. Plus, if you want more capacity, they have the single-ten.

Another vote for just getting a Buckmark 

[splitshot]

bought my single six in 1969 in grangeville, id for $45. gun, holster, belt, and a box of bullets.  could of bought a second gun for the same but i would have been short of beer money.  i was not the pick of the litter.  mike w

I've had a single six for years. Still love it. I'm partial to six shooters anyway. 

[KopperBuck]

Love my hand down 6. Wish I had the mag conversion for it (lost before I got it). Been puttin around about sending it in to Ruger to get one fitted. She's a shooter.

[JJB11B]

I hce a ruger MKIII and a bearcat...i like them

[ICEMAN]

Ruger mark II.

[addicted]

The rugers are nice, but i've really started to like my walther P22

[boneaddict]

Single six

I've killed more snakes than most people have ever even seen, and more tweety birds than average out here in the bird pens. 

You get pretty fast at reloading when you are standing in the middle of 200 rattlesnakes (that you can see)   

[ICEMAN]

Anyone shoot a Keltec PMR30 yet?

[jrebel]

What about the sig 1911-22 or ATI / GSG??  I just sold my ruger MKIII and bought the Sig 1911-22.  Haven't shot it yet but it looks and feels fantastic.  Next week will be the inageral range day for this gun.  I will let you know how it shoots.

[jrebel]

 Who has shot one?  What do you think?
