I've been looking over threads in search of good info on .22 autoloaders. I need one because I'm a poor, lowly college kiddie who is not going to fare well with even bottom-tiered 9mm continuing to be about $18/50rnds. So far, so good, but I had some specific questions so I can narrow down my choices.
I was looking at the Rugers a lot. My shop sells the 22/45, MKII, and MKIII models. Apparently these are all good choices, and will eat anything fed to them. They are also built like tanks, which is good because I've heard of some .22s being made out of way too light and/or shoddy materials.
But then I looked at the Sig Mosquito. It's a real nifty .22 - light, retains the same ol' Sig design for the most part, and was nice to hold, and trigger was great. But I've also heard of these being extremely finicky. And the light weight makes me remember what I had just said in the previous paragraph.
Can anyone offer any in-depth insight on these? How easy is maintenance and stripping for the Sig compared to the Rugers, and vice versa? Do they all work very reliably unless they are woefully neglected? Is there a significant difference in accuracy?
Thanks for the help.
