What's the best modern .22LR semi-auto Pistol Plinker?

Congrats Kakapelli. I will be interested to hear what you think of the sights on that model.

Because of my very old eyes (74 yrs), I'm thinking about a scope or red dot sight, but I have to say that as long as there is some light available, the front sight is pretty bright.

Oh, you guys STOP IT!

I've already spent my gun funds for this year.
You're not making restraint easy for me.

I bought a .22 Kadet conversion for my cz75b. The switch from 9mm to ,22 takes 30 seconds (tops). It's a good plinker and has the heft and feel of the larger caliber.

The .22 that everyone loves to shoot at my place is a Hi-Standard made in the 50's and passed to me from my father, a really sweet piece. If they interest you, buy one from one of the two factories in Ct.. After the company left Ct. there were problems.

Although the MKII is cock of the walk, the P22 is pretty good and not as heavy/bulky.

Last December I was in the market for my first .22 handgun, I was planning on getting a Ruger until I happened to pick up a NEOS. The grip fit like it was made for my hands and I have not been one bit unhappy about my decision. It was picky about what ammo it liked until about 500 rnds were put through it and now it doesn't seem to care; shoots almost anything I put in it pretty close to where I'm aiming. I just put a 4X scope on it to really give it a test, been shooting it with a red dot. Btw, the NEOS has completely interchangeable grips as well as front and rear sights. If I were to get another NEOS I'd go for the deluxe version because of the adjustable trigger. Btw, from what I've read the 4.5" version, standard or deluxe, sucks. The 6" version is quite accurate and those with the 7.5" version say it is a real tack driver.

However in the next month, or so, I might just be getting a companion Mosquito to go with it. I haven't shot one but I like the Sig grips and it points much better than the NEOS. The angle on the NEOS grip seems to be similar to the Glock but since I shoot it with the red dot it doesn't make much difference. The Mosquito just might be used for a CCW when I can't carry my XD45.
