I have a Ruger 22/45 in SS that is accurate as all get out but I bought the 4" tapered barrel version and it's hard as heck to hold it steady. It just feels too muzzle-light. I really wish I had chosen the bull barrel model.
That looks slick! love the pencil barrel and white grips. Were did you get the grips?I've been really happy with this set up View attachment 1055833
I bought 2 (5” I think) blue barrel from Valcorseine (spelled it wrong). They are bull barrels. Every couple of years they sell them for $40 each, no limit. But the serial number is on the barrel, and has to be transferred to a FFL, and that comes with more feesI have a Ruger 22/45 in SS that is accurate as all get out but I bought the 4" tapered barrel version and it's hard as heck to hold it steady.

Those are Hogue grips I found on Ebay. Those are actually green, but my flash washes out the color.That looks slick! love the pencil barrel and white grips. Were did you get the grips?
You don't say what Mark your 22/45 is, but if it happens to be a Mark IV, look here: https://volquartsen.com/clearanceI have a Ruger 22/45 in SS that is accurate as all get out but I bought the 4" tapered barrel version and it's hard as heck to hold it steady.

that’s what I bought, cost like $40 each! but they are serialized, and has to be FFL-edYou don't say what Mark your 22/45 is, but if it happens to be a Mark IV, look here: https://volquartsen.com/clearance
You can buy an upper of your choosing and just swap them out.
This is true. But I bought one of the 'Bare Bones' ones just to see if it would work with my 22/45 Lite lower. I haven't shot it a lot, but I also haven't had any malfunctions, either. For less than ~$75, all total including shipping and transfer, I get my choice of uppers.that’s what I bought, cost like $40 each! but they are serialized, and has to be FFL-ed
my last order, they left the adjustable target sights on, I can’t remember what I paid for them. Was either $40 or $60 each - something like thatThis is true.

very nice collection! how long did that take you to accumulateBrowning International Medalist is my favorite, next is the standard Medalist (which is the same gun except it has has a slightly longer barrel, slightly different grip, and came with a wood forend). I can't believe I somehow shot 22 semi-automatics (mostly Rugers and Buckmarks) for 50 years before discovering these guns, but they are pretty much the only 22 semi-autos I have any interest in now. One interesting thing, I've let friends and family shoot them and I believe every single one of them out-shoot their own guns with the Medalists the first time they tried them.

I also have a selection of Challenger barrels and grips that interchange, but the International Medalist barrel (left and center above) is my favorite because I find the weight and balance just right.
With 4.5" Challenger barrel and left-hand grip:

Browning International Medalist is my favorite,...
I got the first International Medalist (top left in the photo of 8 guns) about 5 years ago off of GB (gunbroker). It's a 1971 model, I paid $451 for it, which was a good price at the time. After receiving it and being highly impressed with the build quality, and then shooting it and really loving it, the Medalists became one of the guns that I watched for on GB. Since that time, I've picked up the other two guns, some additional grips (the Challenger grip, like the brown one shown in the photos, also fit these guns), and a couple of 4.5" Challenger barrels and 6.75" Challenger barrels, and some extra magazines. I'm a bargain shopper, so I keep an eye out for stuff I'm interested in and buy when I find bargains. For the most of 2021, bargains on most any gun have been few and far between. As I'm sure you are aware.very nice collection! how long did that take you to accumulate
Wait.... I thought the government said inflation is only 7%???I6turbo,
I have a Challenger barrel but gave the threaded barrel to my son with an FN International 150. While guns got more expensive, the price for natural gas increased by 300% since 2019. My electricity provider just sent that discouraging price update yesterday.
