Title: .22 pistol input needed
Post by: doyourtime89 on May 06, 2013, 05:59:34 PM: I am wanting to buy a .22 pistol for just target shooting and plinking. Just thought I would run it by you guys and see what you think would be a good one to get. Not looking to spend tip end money for a plinking pistol but don't want to get the bottom of and barrel either. Thanks for your time and help.

I mentioned my single six before with a similar thread and I got the impression the single six was no longer being manufactured. So it is back and called New.

Post by: DRENALINJUNKIE on May 06, 2013, 08:31:51 PM: Kel-tec PMR 30! Awesome gun. Its a 22 mag so has a little more pop to it but it holds 30 RDS and is fun as heck to shoot.

Post by: mountainman on May 06, 2013, 08:52:58 PM: ruger mkIII, Buckmark, or if you can find on, an old S&W 41. Usually smooth as glass and nice triggers!

Single Six. Mines a .22LR or a .22 Mag

I inherited the same, but somehow the mag cylinder disappeared before it made it to me. Thinking about sending it in.

Results from my single six last weekend.

Post by: doyourtime89 on May 07, 2013, 09:00:37 AM: Thanks for all the input. I had been thinking about getting the Ruger Mark II or III. I do like that Kel-tec PMR 30.
My dad has been looking for that and is saying he is having a hard time finding one.
Title: Re: .22 pistol input needed
Post by: thinkingman on May 07, 2013, 09:00:50 AM: Browning Buckmark or something the the SW #17 line for revolver.

:yeah:
Title: Re: .22 pistol input needed
Post by: BsB on May 07, 2013, 09:35:18 AM: A single six with lr and mag cylinders is on my list to get, but I've got an M&P22 pistol that is a good little shooter, same size as the m&p9/.40. It can be ammo picky but usually a little spray of Rem oil on the ammo solves that.

Post by: MP123 on May 07, 2013, 10:35:02 AM: I really like my Buckmark, it shoots great.

I hope you've got a stockpile of ammo, decent .22 is very hard to find these days.
Title: Re: .22 pistol input needed
Post by: hillbilli on May 07, 2013, 10:44:41 AM: If you like the cowboy style revolver, the single six is cool, and i'll get one one of these days.. as for an auto-My vote is for the ruger. I've owned several, and my vote would be a mark2 if you can find one. I carried an old fixed sight mark 1 to nationals at camp perry last year, and before i went I shot it and my stainless mark 2 off the bench at 50yds, and both would hold better than 2" at 50yds.. and while I discovered at nationals that I'm not a great pistol shot (apparently I'm mediocre), I didnt feel a bit disadvantaged with my ruger..

Mine was two mags, I think that's the deal still. $299.99 is a heck of a deal. I got the Target 22/45 bull barrel for $279.99

The Ruger Mk III is an awesome gun. Little bit heavy for carrying around for anything but hunting but man is it a grouse killer :tup:

I'd recommend it to anyone who digs an accurate .22
Title: Re: .22 pistol input needed
Post by: hillbilli on May 08, 2013, 09:39:41 AM: the 22/45 has the same upper half and mechanism with a fiberglass lower, just as accurate but lighter to carry..

Post by: Widgeondeke on May 11, 2013, 12:36:46 AM: If you are wanting a revolver that is made in the USA and cost under $200. Look at the Heritage Rough Rider.
