Whats the best 22 handgun

[Regionnus Rattis]

Anyone have a PMR-30 to give a review?

Another +1 for the GSG 1911! Don't own one yet, but have shot a few both suppressed and without. It is next on the purchase list and I've got $300 burning a hole in my pocket.

IMO, the Model 41

s&w 617 , p-22, s&w 22s , ruger single 6 , colt cadet , colt frontier scout , ruger single 6 hunter . love the revolvers best

by far the best 22 target pistol is the Smith Model 41, someone may argue that some of the German target guns are better but they are wrong,

You can pay more, but nothing beats the RUGER MARK II in price or accuracy

then you haven't shot a Smith 41

then you haven't shot a Smith 41

Never owned one, but it cost $700 That is 3X more than a RUGER MARK II & how much better can it shoot over the RUGER

I believe that last year the nationals were won with a HIGH STANDARD.when did S&W WIN OR A RUGER

Another vote for the Browning Buckmark.

I have the same question. Sorta. What's the best .22lr for shooting steel AND WHY?

I like the looks of the S&W 22A and the Beretta NEOS better (yeah, I know I'm the only one) and they are cheaper.

But everyone says "forget that, just get a Ruger or Browning". But they are just so 1900's...

What's so much better about them? Accuracy? Trigger? Speed? Modifications?

This is hilarious. I wrote this just two short months ago.

I bought a Beretta Neos. It was fine. Not one problem. Easy to take down. A friend shot it and liked it and I wanted to get him into shooting so I sold it to him.

I bought a Browning Buck Mark URX Contour. Woo Boy! What's better about them? Everything!

I own both Ruger Mark II's and III's, as well as a Smith & Wesson model 41. There is no comparison between the two. The Model 41 is the Cadillac of .22 Rimfire target pistols, with a finish and craftsmanship to match. It is machined from solid carbon steel, and is precision fitted throughout. It's trigger breaks like a glass rod, and it fits the hand like it was molded around it.

With that said the Ruger Mark III's are nice weapons, but they are not in the same class as the S&W Model 41, not even close. The Rugers frames are mass produced out of welded sheet steel. This allows for rapid and inexpensive production. It is how they can keep the price of a basic model under $300.00 retail in today's world of Hussein inflated dollars. The Model 41 runs over a grand. Skilled production, quality machining, and hand fitting takes time. The Ruger pistols are excellent plinkers, and informal target shooters. The Smith & Wesson Model 41 is for serious rimfire competitors, and has been the standard by which all other rimfire pistols are judged for decades. About the only other American made semi auto rimfire that can compete with it is the Browning Medalist, and sadly it is no longer in production. Bill T.

I like my Colt Diamondback nickel in 6" as far as a revolver and my Colt Woodsman for a semi auto.Owned them for years and bought them right,both guns will be passed down to my sons.

 

[tgallmey]

Ruger MKII or Browning Buckmark

 

[Bunnykid68]

The one you enjoy shooting the most

Bet you can't prove that assertion beyond a reasonable doubt.

I like my 41 but it's no competition for some of the Hammerli or Pardini pistols. Or for that matter, my Contender.

The more I read about the 41 the more I want one. Only ever handled one once but it's nice.

I also say sig mosquito. Mine has been flawless with all the ammo i've put through it mainly federal bulk pack ammo and cci stuff. I've shot the ruger mark II quite a bit and while it might be more accurate for a pistol it isn't anywhere as fun to shoot as the mosquito.

There are many great handguns out there, but to narrow it down to just 22? Maybe 25 at least.
