Don't see many of the Rossi Plinkers around. I had two at one time, a 6" like yours, and a 4" that I still currently own. Great little revolvers!

I own and have owned and shot many 22LR handguns, and this semi-auto makes it out to the range more often than the others, though it's difficult to express exactly why.

If you live in a less free state, best to stick with the Ruger Mark or S&W Victory

If I were in the market for another right now I'd consider the S&W Victory.

I have many full size 22 auto loaders. SW a victory and 22 A.

If I wanted a pistol of that style, but with a more upright grip, I would get SW22 Victory. Oh wait, I did.

A Rossi “Plinker” a lot more gun than its price would dictate.

Yes, they are. I have the 6" model and while I liked it I never really fell in love with it because of the grip. I and it just didn't get along very well together. Eventually I searched around for a replacement grip and found one that fits and is much more user friendly, at least to this user and it has become one of my favorite range toys. I am currently working (slowly, very slowly) on a holster for it so it can go riding around and taking some walks with me.

I bought mine off GunBroker absolutely dirt cheap. I found out why, it hit 3’ low at 10’ and the sight would no adjust. I took the sight off and just put it back on, works perfectly. I killed a groundhog with it at 35 yards (took 5 shots however)

I had the low low hit problem plus sticky chambers. I took the rear sight apart and cleaned everything well, reassembled, and it is better but still shoots a little low. No matter. I learned to do Kentucky elevation a long time ago and it is a very capable coke can killer at 25 yards. Half of the light rod above the rear sight blade puts it dead on at that range. A bore mop, Clover fine valve grinding compound, and a VS cordless drill made quick work of the sticky problem. I bought mine brand new after it road around in it's box to gunshows for five years. Needless to say, that cardboard box was well worn.

TX22 gets my vote

My .22 handguns consist of a Ruger Standard (with a Pac-lite upper/barrel), a Browning Buckmark, and a .22LR conversion slide for my 1911. I like the full sized .22's.

In general, to me the .22 handguns (or rifles) that are meant to be just smaller versions of a "real" gun come off as a bit toy-like. Sort of like the imitation version of the "real" gun. I'd rather have something built from the ground up to be an awesome .22LR.

I have been running a Ciener conversion kit on my Kimber frame for years, I am now looking to build a dedicated frame for it. I think that if tbe idea is for training, the actual frame is best, right? I do wish it locks open on the last round though.

Got a couple bricks of CCI AR Tactical .22LR for Xmas. I run them in my LCPII .22 which is a blast of course but it’s got me day dreaming about a fullsize .22 autoloader. A large part of me thinks a Ruger Mark Hunter would be a classic addition. But another part of me thinks I should stick with the “trainer” style tactical .22s that resemble their larger caliber brethren. Just day dreaming. What do you fellas run and like?

When I get my SilencerCo Sparrow out of jail, which will probably only be a few months from now, I'm buying a Walther PPQ 22lr with a threaded barrel. I already have a CZ 457 Pro Varmint bolt action rifle so I want a tactical semi auto handgun for S&Gs.
