New ruger sr22 pistol

[deadduck357]

Its a real slide. I have had too many pot metal and bad MIM parts go flying off my guns and others that I've shot. Ever wonder why happens when a cheap MIM barrel bushing on a 1911 shatters? Its not fun hunting for parts on the range.

Another big question: Where to get a longer barrel so it can be suppressed.

A threaded replaceable barrel is supposed to be available from Ruger at some point.

Unfortunately these are questions that we have to ask, and suspicion is warranted in this day and age in which we have pistols like the Walther P22 (which isn't made by Walther), the S&W M&P22 (which isn't made by S&W), and the SIG Sauer Mosquito (which isn't made by SIG Sauer), etc. All of these are inferior-quality (potmetal) guns that cash in on the names of well-respected firearms manufacturers.

It's good to hear that the SR22 will actually be manufactured by Ruger in the US. There was no intent to start rumors.

However, I'm still not sure what benefits this pistol offers over my all-steel Mark III (or the steel/polymer 22/45). These are excellent-shooting guns that will last a lifetime. I'm sure the more tacticool looks will appeal to many, but as a training tool, the SR22 is pretty much null and void since the mode of operation is completely different from the SR9/SR9C and SR40/SR40C. That said, to each his own.

Totally understand. I called and made certain.

As to the benefits - different options for different people. I unfortunately am not a big fan of the Mark III, just not my style. But this new SR22P is perfect for what I want.

Here's my question- deadduck, how do you convince a firearms company to send you a brand new, just announced gun for free to play with for a while and where do I sign up?

not to call the author out...
but your 3yrd shots are bigger than your 15yrd...

The 3 yard head shots and 7 yard body shots were the very first rounds I shot out of it and they were offhand/standing. Not being familiar with the pistol or trigger probably lead to the poor groups. The 15 yard groups were fired later after some ammo had been run through it and they were supported off a sandbag on the hood of my truck.

They asked me if I'd like to review their firearms. I usually get them a week or so before their officially released.

Thank's deadduck for the info, and your review on your website. I have bookmarked your website for future use!

Is there any chance you have a P22 so you can take some detail photos of both it and the SR and show what is the same and what is different between the two? Inquiring minds want to know. I am convinced they are completely different. And I need one.

^YES PLEASE!

That way I'll have evidence that the SR22 is based off of the P22 or I will look like an idiot and shut up.
