.22 - Tell me your fav!

Favorite?

Probably my Benelli MP95E "Atlanta" target pistol. It is scary accurate, and easy to shoot well. It is a match gun, so not one I would carry in the field to plink.

I shoot my four Ruger MK II's the most however. Two are 5.5 inch bull barrels, which I think is the sweet spot in the line as far as size, and accuracy goes. One is full of Volquartsen parts, the other I am keeping totally stock. The third is a "Standard" model 50th Anniversary gun, and the fourth a 4 inch bull barrel 22/45 (MK II era).

Last but not least, as it is also one of my favorites, is my CZ Kadet which has also been mentioned. It is actually the Kadet Kit conversion unit which works on both my 75B, and PCR, but I keep it pretty much on the B. It is accurate, reliable, and great fun to shoot a service size pistol in .22. Its a real money saver for plinking, and a great .22 in its own right.

Heck, they're ALL my favorites!

It seems to change with the wind for me...but if I had to keep just one it would be a old pre-woodsman...you have to be picky with ammo, but it just feels so darn good in your hand.

Now the one I am currently having the most fun with is a GSG 1911...that thing is just flat fun to play with.

Mark III 22/45. 5" barrel model. I like the Ruger action and the 1911 grip angle makes it fit my hand well.

MUST concur. As my carry pieces are ALL 1911's, it makes for economical practice on the hand/eye coordination, breathing control, trigger discipline, etc.

AND it's fun to shoot!

ruger mkII govt target model

MK I ruger/integrally suppressed
Colt Woodsman
Colt woodsman match target
If you miss with either pistol its your fault.

i have an awc amphibian--certain cool factor and i just bought a stainless steel target. i eliminated the mag disconnect on both and tricked them out with the volquartsen kits. both accurate as heck.

still thinking about a cut and thread for a can on my target model--but the next mod will be to install a burris fastfire 111.

Ruger Standard model, Ruger Mark II Target and Ruger Mark III target. I like my Rugers three equally well and use the one most appropriate for the task. Or just close my eyes and pick one.

I have a Mk I and a Woodsman, but I wind up using a Ciener conversion on my Kimber most of the time. (15 rd magazines.

Woodsman Match Target is also one of my favorites to shoot, but if I ever owned one it would be a safe queen.

Ruger Mk.III and Ruger 22/45 Mk.III.

With CCI Standard rounds you get a bullseye gun.

One more Ruger Mk 2.....

My CZ Kadet kit is probably my favorite. 1992 CZ75 transitional in Cerakote Graphite Black and Burnt Bronze:

Have at least 14 different .22 cal handguns, everything from 1911's to Lugers....by far the best of the lot are the Smith & Wesson model 41's.

I'm going to have to go with the Buck Mark. Mine is every bit as good as a S&W41.

Olympus, great collection! I have 1 High Standard 107 Tournament, (Military). Built like a Swiss watch. It is my #1. #2 is my Dedicated CZ Kadet. #3 is my Beretta 87.

Walther P22. mmmmm

Gosh! ...... Sooooo Many Good ones!

Just bought another Ruger Single Six

Had:
S&W 422 in 4" & 6"
Buckmark
Woodsman
K-22 Masterpiece
Taurus 94
Walther P-22
Ruger Mk1, 2 & 3

It is very hard to choose....but I lean toward the ruger Mk2 as one of favorites in Auto and I really Miss a Single-Six Convertible Stainless!

That CZ looks Nice I must say!

I am looking hard at the Browning 1911-22....If for nothing else but Nostalgia!

I was looking to buy a Single Ten just this past week....and a Single Six walked in front of me and forced me to buy it!....Really ! It did! ..... so right now it has become a favorite.... .... 9-1/2" Barrel...It is a lot of fun!

S&W 22a is the best for the money. Mine is very accur.

s&w model 41. well worth the money.

murf

The stainless Colt "Cadet" & Target .22's have either 4" or 6" barrels and don't skip a beat.

+1 for the Buckmark

I have not shot a .22 in years as I reload and shoot at least once a week but I would have
to say its a .22 Colt frontier.

I only own two autoloading .22LR pistols, both Rugers. Of the two (Mark II Target and Mark III Hunter, both stainless), I have to favor the MKIII Hunter. I love the wood grips, fluted barrel, and sweet trigger pull.

I love my Mark III Hunter as well.

Beauty, accuracy, quality, availability, reasonable price (I bought mine barely used for an even more reasonable price), ...

What's not to love?

I wanted a 41 for the longest time....saved my pennies and went shopping. It was just not for me, it was just too fat. I also looked at other S&W offerings and all of them the grips are made for people with bear paws....I am a skinny little dude...just dod not get the feel I was looking for....less confortable holding the 41 then I am holding a GI 1911.

Really wanted one tho....ended up spending the money on the pre-woodsman.

Buckmark and P22.

The P22 is fun to shoot, but not all that accurate beyond 15 yards. But the Buckmark is my go to gun. It seems I always take it with me to the range, and no matter what I shoot that day, I always close the session with a couple hundred rounds through the Buck.
