What's your favorite .22 handgun?

[texgunner]

What do you prefer in .22 handguns, DA revolver, SA revolver or semi-auto?

 

[rattletrap1970]

I've shot a lot of .22 semi autos. High Standards, Ruger, S&W, Brownings, Hammerli, etc. But comfort in my hand, accuracy and price. I am rather enamored with my Star Model F.

 

[MCgunner]

I had a Model F. It was a cool little gun. I even made some walnut grip panels for it. But, it got ripped off in a home burglary. My fav, currently, is my Ruger Mk 2, though I do like my little Rossi M511 Sportsman kit gun, stainless DA revolver.

 

[M2 Carbine]

I like them all but I shoot the semi-autos more.

I love mysingle-six...but the mk II / bull barrel is more accurate. Couple of extra mags is just too easy.

Really hate to say it but gotta go with the MKII.

My favorite is a Smith & Wesson 41, followed closely by a Hi Standard Victor. However, there is a special place in my heart for a 4" S&W Model 34.

 

[MMCSRET]

I shoot my Ruger, 45 year old, Standard Model the most, because it's expendable. my favorite is my Colt Official Police (1956), 6", 22 LR, but they don't make them any more so it is a "special occasion" gun now.

I like my Ruger MkII. It is the only 22LR handgun I own right now but I grew up with a few. I like the Ruger revolvers too for accuracy and reliability.

ruger 22/45! goes to the range EVERY time. love it.

 

[Brian Williams]

Colt Woodsman 1st series.

 

[CraigC]

Easy, Old Model Single Six with a retro-fitted XR3 grip frame sporting fancy claro walnut by CLC. No telling how many thousands of rounds have been through it. It's a fun afternoon to burn through a 550rd bulk pack with it.

 

[ACORN]

I'd have to say mine is my Ruger 6-7/8" SS Competition with a red-dot.

 

[mljdeckard]

My dad has a Mk I, a Woodsman, a Single-Six, and I love them all, but lately I have been shooting my 1911 conversion kit a lot and I'm liking it more and more.

 

[SGW42]

I said semi-autos, but that picture of CraigC's Single Six made me realize how much I love mine.

 

[Mike OTDP]

These days? None of the above.

The .22 I'm most likely to grab is a Morini CM84 free pistol. Single-shot.

 

[Natty Bumpo]

S&W revolvers all the way......

MDL 34 4" (Kit Gun) and K-22

My first gun purchase was a Ruger Bearcat, and I still own it and take it to the range from time to time. It's a hoot to shoot -- then and now. But my favorite .22 these days is a Walther PP. It's accurate, reliable, and it eats anything I feed it -- a heck of a good combination.

These Days

Browning 5.5" BuckMark~!

In the past, Colt Match Target Woodsman (3rd series)~!

 

[The Bushmaster]

Colt Woodsman 2nd generation target.

To me shooting a .22cal single action was tedious work at best.

 

[CraigC]

To me shooting a .22cal single action was tedious work at best.

Most folks don't spend enough time with them to become proficient in their operation. It's painful for me to watch your average shooter fumbling to operate a single action.

 

[jonboynumba1]

I thought that when I got my single six 4 5/8" as a sales bonus....after a few days plinking it was amazing how fast and painlessly I could re-stoke it with bulkpack ammo....I'd shoot the better part of a brick everytime it came out! I fell in love with it...thought I'd hate it when I got it.

the old mkII is still my favorite~!

 

[flipajig]

ive got 3 a single six,22/45 and a tc super 14. the 22/45 for steel chalange the single six for fun (ive had it for over 20 years) and the TC for long shots 50 yds and longer.

 

[Kilo6]

My 22/45 has been spot on. It is currently being sent off for 1911 grip mod. Should be back soon.22/45 pics

 

[Taildragger-J3]

I've got a SAA copy in .22 & .22WRM, a Taurus DA .22 & Ruger MK1. They're all fun to shoot but that Ruger is just way fun.
