Only one choice 22 lr.

[wanderinwalker]

Did somebody say K-frame .22?

One of these 3 I guess. Probably the S&W, if for no other reason than it is a K-frame .22LR with 4" barrel and adjustable sights. And the smoothest of the bunch. Though I think the 22/45 Mk III might out-shoot it in a straight-up contest.





Have to get a new pic of the S&W. It wears Ahrend's smooth combat grips in cocobolo now. What a major handling improvement those make! And it looks sharp too!

My true "classic": 4" model 18. I love my ruger 22/45 but, only one?...no question.

Mark III prowess

My good friend JUST purchased a .22/45 4" barrelled target pistol. I still prefer my Mark III Competition Model, but he loves his .22/45. I can see why, strictly because of the button bolt release! How slick can a pistol get! I fight daily my wimpy Competition's skinny bent-steel release. Imagine if all Ruger's innovations were merged into one fantastic pistol! cliffy

Well if I could have only one, then I'll take this one;

Because if I could afford it, I would most likely have it already. LM

OK I give up, why can't I post this with capital letters?

When a user composes in all caps the forum software automagically converts all the characters to lower-case, except for the first letter of each sentence. This is done because posts in all caps are annoying to read, and are considered rude.

Unfortunately, you were bitten on the butt by a post consisting of only "S&W K-22", which was neither annoying nor rude. If your post had had at least one lower-case letter, it would have appeared exactly as you typed it.

Also you can't buy them in California. I like that!

Edit: I said a rifle.lol


I would probably have a p22 w/silencer

4" Blue Colt Diamondback.

Since it is a handgun forum, I assume your question is "Which handgun chambered in 22LR would you choose if you could only have one?"

 

[41 magnum fan]

For me it would be my hard chromed S&W model 34 round butt with a 2 inch barrel.

 

[Peter M. Eick]

For just shooting? My 41 target.

For hunting and outdoors work? My 722.

 

[BCRider]

I'm not sure yet. I'm still accumulating and shooting to find which I like the best. But very high on my current list is my Tanfoglio Force 22 (can't get it in the US) and the sweet feeling little 4 inch S&W 34 kit gun that the range owns and that I've shot on occasion.

Looking at rifle options too but this was about handguns, right?

 

[rcmodel]

It would be a hard choice between my 1st Series 1936 Colt Woodsman 4 1/2 sport model.

Or my S&W 317 with CT laser grips.

[Mike OTDP]

Hammerli 208S. Superb accuracy, and the best trigger on any repeating pistol.

 

[BullRunBear]

My K22 masterpiece with 8 3/8 inch barrel is always first. The Kadet adapter for the CZ 75B is as accurate for me but I prefer revolvers.

K22 Masterpiece!

K22 Masterpiece. Mine is a 6" pre-number made in 1957.

 

[Gun Slinger]

Ruger MK II

 

[punkndisorderly]

As far as .22lr handguns, Browning Buckmark or Ruger MKIII. I've never had more than one at a time, and it's always been a Ruger only because I never seem to find the fancy buckmarks anywhere and have bought them spur of the moment.

If we expanded it up to rifles, probably a 10/22 with a set of peep sights or a dedicated AR-15 upper.
