Hello everyone!
I have another “what .22 semi-auto pistol should I buy” question (I can hear the moans now ), but I have a few things I’d like to find out that I have not found searching THR’s archives. I have read up on THR threads about Browning Buckmarks, Ruger MK IIIs, Walther P22s, etc., and seem to like the Browning Buckmark but…
I would like this gun to be for teaching others to shoot on, as well as for my own plinker. Given that it will be primarily for teaching, with the possibility of moving up to a larger caliber as time progresses, I would like to find a gun that is relatively similar in design to others, so that transitioning between a .22 and a “real” gun is easier. This is one reason I like the P22, except I have read about questionable quality . In addition, the clip release is on the trigger, not a thumb button as most guns. The MK III seems nice as well, but the safety is very different from other guns, as is the clip release on the bottom. Again I don’t mind, but might be confusing to a beginning shooting. Maybe I’m just worrying to much.
I will also use this pistol, with the possibility of a suppressor in the future. What 22 pistols are able to take suppressors?
Thanks everyone!
