What's your favorite .22 handgun?

[Toml]

The Sig/Hammerli 4-1/2" Trailside fits my hand like a glove.

 

[9mmepiphany]

the one i shoot the most is a .22lr conversion upper atop a Sig 226ST...because i use it for teaching

the one i most enjoy is my 4" Colt Diamondback...it just speaks to my soul to make the little snake sing

 

[TexMexSu]

Ruger MKIII 22/45.

Like it so much we bought a second.

I do NOT like my new Single Six.

Only 60 rounds from new and for sale.
(never even fired a Mag. through it)

I like the semi-autos far more.

 

[earlthegoat2]

I really like the Colt Diamondback with the 6 inch barrel when I can get over to my dads and shoot his.

I have to settle for a Cold Woodsman Match Target. Tragic, I know.

 

[raveneap]

I have several, both semi's and revolvers. Revolvers are both SA and DA. Guess if I had to pick one out of the bunch it would be my SW 617.

 

[Lucky Derby]

K-22 Masterpiece.

But I love my Woodsman too.

 

[BCRider]

The List;
S&W's 422 long barrel, 2206 short barrel and more recently a Model 17.
Tanfoglio Force 22 (Not available in the US )
Hi Standard Double 9- double action flip out 9 shot but looks like a SAA style gun.
Iver Johnson Sportsman - 9 shot break open action.

Of the lot my 422 has been my "go to plinker" of choice. But the newly acquired 2206 and model 17 are poised to make this battle for my affections a tough call. Suffice to say that the three top dog S&W's are not going anywhere without me any time soon.

The Double 9 is turning out to be a fun plinker now that I'm just ignoring that it has a double action mode and I'm just treating it as a 9 shot single action only. That and a new mainspring has made the trigger pull a lot more tolerantly light.

The Iver Johnson's top breaks is highly interesting but the grips look UG-LAY! ! ! ! But I'm hoping that with some new wood grips and some more mainspring fine tuning that this gun will be a winding shooter.

 

[Digger Odell]

A little of each.

I enjoy the Smith Combat Masterpiece revolver, & the Colt Woodsman in the semi auto. Both pieces belong to my dad, & he lets me borrow, for long periods of time!

 

[Vikingsoftpaw]

S&W K-22 Target Masterpeice - 5 screw.

 

[Legionnaire]

I refuse to vote!

I've probably put more rounds through a Browning Buckmark Plus than any other .22 handgun, but I also very much like my somewhat rare Ruger SP101 (4" full underlug) DA and Ruger Single Six (5.5" barrel) SA revolvers. The latter is particularly fun in .22 WMR. I don't think I can pick a "favorite."

 

[bannockburn]

Most accurate .22 semi-auto:

Ruger MK. II T-512

Most fun to shoot or plink with:

Beretta Model 70S

Most ergonomic:

SIG-Hammerli Trailside

 

[Ol` Joe]

S&W M17 K22

 

[Vern Humphrey]

Colt Woodsman 1st series.

Same here. Mine was made in 1938.

 

[tkopp]

MKII Gov, topped by a Leupold M8-2x. The most accurate weapon I'v ever owned.

 

[smallbore]

Ruger Mk III 22/45 for backpacking/pest control. Ruger Mk II comp target model for silhouette/hunting.

 

[HighExpert]

The prettiest is the Browning Medalist. The one I shoot is the Smith 41 with Ultradot and Herritt custom stocks. My wife's Woodsman Match Target is very nce too.

 

[ctgmi]

Revolvers D/A for me, S&W 617 & 317 and Taurus Tracker here but I think a S&W 41 may find its way into my safe in the future.

 

[millertyme]

I voted for semi-autos and I love my Buckmark to death, but I still have fond memories of sitting on the porch with my Grandpa at his cabin shooting his RG66 at wildflowers when I was 4 or 5. My dad now has the pistol but I found one local with a nice drop-leg holster I couldn't pass up. I still like to shoot it every now and then, even though it has to be the loudest .22 I've ever shot.

 

[doc2rn]

I prefer my Colt Diamondback but I shoot just as well with my S&W model 41

 

[oldfool]

#1 being a pair of S&W 6" k-17s (see prior poster's pic)
#2 being a 6" Taurus model 96 (k-17 clone)
#3 being S&W k-48 (same 6" revolver in 22 WMR)
#4 being S&W 63 (older model 4" j-frame kit gun)
#5 being Ruger 6 7/8" MKIII
#6 being a 6" AutoMag II in WMR (Irwindale)
#7 being scoped 10" bull barrel Ruger MKII
#8 being S&W 622
#9 being High Std Double Nine (like another poster here, I use only as SA)
#10 being High Std DA derringer

but fond of Buckmarks also (a friend has one)
with honorable mention going to any/all else
half the fun is owning more than one

 

[Kilo6]

I really enjoy shooting the buckmark also. The vid to the right in the link below is the buckmark with yhm mite suppressor.

[John_galt]

Beretta Modlel 87 Cheetah. They are twice the price now as when I bought mine. Very acccurate and lots of fun. Bonus can be cocked and locked like my 1911s

 

[TexasBill]

Walther P22. Not a tack driver, but a hoot to shoot. My wife and I each have one.

 

[RevDerb]

Until last week, the S&W 22a was the only .22lr handgun that I owned. I picked up a Chiappa 1911-22 though so now there are two. Haven't had a chance to shoot (or even take a picture of) the Chiappa. Here's the S&W:

 

[Old Shooter]

Ruger Mk III 22/45
just a fun gun to shoot. Very accurate, 100% reliable, most economical gun I own for plinking.
