Thank you very much!Nice lineup of rimfires.
Thanks, Marine!Those are very nice congrats.
Does anyone have a favorite of these four? I realize they are dated and much more advanced equipment is now available, but the Beretta is about year 2008, the stainless Ruger MK II and S&W 63 are 1981, and the Bearcat is about 2015. I was not satisfied with the point of impact of the Bearcat so I sent it to Ruger and I don't know what they did (I really don't understand how you can adjust a fixed sight revolver) but they did and for such a small gun and short bbl, it really hits right where pointed at about 50'. They even sent me the test target. It took me weeks to hand fit the grips but there are no gaps, raised edges, sharp areas, etc. (brag, brag brag; forgive me - I'm just proud because I rarely can muster up the patience for such a task.
That Bearcat looks awesome, but I gotta vote M63 for my fave.Does anyone have a favorite of these four?

Those are a M17 (the successor to the K22), and a M41, thank you!Hey, 40k, I'm getting old, you're probably correct regarding holding the camera upside down. (does that matter with weapons during self defense? I see all kinds of weird stuff on the tube) : )
Anyay, two things, is that a S&W K22 Masterpiece? I had one in my hand in the box and passed like the broke fool that I was. There's always a way! Also, When I was on the University of Scranton Pistol training team back in 1978, that other gun (also a Smith?) looks just like the ones we used. Man I put most of 'em in ONE ragged hole!
Beautiful guns; thank you so much for posting - I love these threads - it's almost like wife-swapping!
You've got a nice collection of .22s there, but if I had to pick one (painful though it might be), I'd have to go with the Ruger Mark. I know that there are other good .22 semiautos, but I make no secret of being a fan of the Mark series. My first pistol was a "Ruger Standard."Does anyone have a favorite of these four?....
Can anyone help me with the inverted images?

My favorite .22 handgun, hmmmm......

Probably one of these two. Cant choose.
Are you using a handheld webcam? If so, you may be holding it upside down.
Welcome aboard THR!
Very very nice collectionGeorge Seashock
Can't help you with that George but at least no one can say you're upside down!
Like your .22 line-up. Tough choice if I were picking a favorite from your guns but I would probably go with the Ruger Mk.II for the win!
My own favorite is a tie between my Beretta Model 70S and my Ruger Mk.II Model 512. Both guns are super reliable and accurate, especially with CCI MiniMags and Wolf Match Target ammo.
The one with the best trigger is my SIG Trailside; it's scary light but could really use an adjustable rear sight to dial it in better.
In the category of most favorite DIY .22 is my TacSol2211 conversion assembly on an Essex frame that I put together many winters ago. The 2211 is a first rate .22 slide unit and went on the frame without any additional fitting required.
Most cherished one would be this vintage Ruger Single Six which was a gift from an old friend of mine. He used it when he checked on his trap lines and when he couldn't do that anymore he gave the gun to me!
The S&W Model 34 is actually my wife's; I bought it for her when she expressed an interest in going shooting with me but never had a gun of her own. Got it LNIB from the local gun emporium and it definitely helped that an old school buddy of mine worked behind the counter at the time!
