Ok, i just joined a club that is primarily a 22 target range. My guns (ruger 9mm semiauto, s&w mod 10-5 .38spl, ruger 10/22, bushmaster predator) are not really suited for this club. So i have decided to get a .22 pistol.
First thing that came to mind was a Ruger Mark III. I love my ruger 10/22, great .22lr gun. I heard the mark II was awesome and so i figured the mark iii would be better or similiar. BUT after firing my friends S&W model 41, i am hooked on quality 22's!
So i did some shopping, the model 41 is out of my price range. I am looking to spend between $300 and $400 up front. i could then do some mods down the road. I was thinking of getting the target model mark iii, then add the voltquartsen trigger group down the road. i really like the bull barrel hunter but its a) not as long and b) out of my price range.
Then i found a hi standard supermatic citation (i think it was the citation) used at the local store for $399 (firm price no bargaining). it has an amazing trigger like the model 41, BUT a) its not new (i guess i am partial to new guns, who isnt) b) no replacement parts or hard to find i assume. c) not as many mods and upgrades and accessories as current production guns.... it seems like it was well maintained. (i am not too keen on the looks, but its how it shoots right!)
i also was considering a browning buckmark. the u22 neos is out cause my friend has one and i hate it. the walther p22 doesnt fit my hand at all. the smith is too expensive. they have no mark ii's.
so some expert 22 target shooting advice is appreciated! thanks!
