What's your favorite .22 handgun?

[John_galt]

I love my Beretta 87 Cheetah. Magazines have been expensive, but it generally feeds anything. It is very accurate. Operates similar to my 92 variants, so its good practice. And it has a frame mounted safety which I love. Back when I bought it 12 years ago I paid $430 for it new. I wish I could get another one at that price.

Since there are quite a few pictures, I should put up mine.
A Colt Woodsman and a S&W 35-1

Here's a Woodsman for you, made in 1938. That target was shot at 25 yards, modified weaver stance, with bulk Wal-Mart ammo.

Colt .22 Automatic ( pre Woodsman )

Such clean lines, a joy to shoot...always reliable ( but Standard Velocity Ammo only ).

I gotta go with semi-auto. 6 months ago I wouldn't have said that but this Beretta Neos .22 with a red dot is just plain fun.

Even though it looks like the original Laser Tag gun...

Many years ago I was given a .22 that looked like a mini 1911. The upper had slide action and I think the mag held 12 or 15 rounds? Think it was made in Italy and it was one of the best .22s I have ever had. It was stolen after a hurricane in Houston along with everything else. 5 homes were cleaned out on our block.

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

Me too!

Ruger MKII's are quite a lot of fun, except the cleaning part. Hold trigger, flip it upside down, release..no...hold then release..no, ah crap, just spray it down with gunscrubber and re-lube.

Couldn't vote - tossup

Revolver- H&R Sportsman. Plinker and pest accurate and a lot of fun. Especially around the nephews. Nothing like breaking the top and hearing the giggles as the brass disperses!

Semiauto- Firestorm FS22. Not super expensive, reasonably accurate, light to carry on walks ( I use a Clipdraw ), and easy to teardown for cleaning. A seldom spoken about plinker, but the comments are usually good.
