Where have all the .22's gone

[trigun87]

Im finded nearly impossible to find any used .22 auto pistols. I managed to purchase a .22 revolver recently. Is there some type of occult individuals that are snatching them up. Is this a common issue all over.

Go to gunbroker.com and scroll down to Firearms>Semi-auto pistol and click on it. Then up in the search box type "22 LR." About 392 auctions come up. More than enough to bankrupt you and me both.

Really? Around my area 22's either semi or revolver (mostly SA) are still around. Actually I think I bough too many 22 during the gun/ammo crazy earlier this year. I now have 2 semis (Beretta Neos, Bobcat), 3 SA revolvers (Ruger Single Six, Heritage Rough Rider, Hawes Deputy Marshal), and 3 rifles (2x bolt, 1x lever).

22lr guns are cheap to buy and cheap to shoot. Head down your local shooting range see if you can post some wanted ad.

Im not sure about purchasing used guns online. I would prefer to handle etc. My concern is they are no longer readily available at local mom and pop stores, pawn shops etc. Is this the case in other states?

I would LOVE to have a Bersa 23 again .... but the Walther p22 will have to do.

I was considering a walther , but ive heard they are hit or miss in quality. I was thinking sig misquto or ruger mark series. An other semi auto suggestions?

I love my Buck Mark. Reliable and accurate. Great option to go with your other fine options.

Im not sure about purchasing used guns online.

There are some guidelines, but that's about the only way I do it these days because, as you say, the local mom and pop stores don't have what I want.

If we're talking gunbroker.com make sure the seller has plenty of good feedback. Make sure he's taken plenty of good photographs. I contact him by phone before I bid to make sure his contact information is legit.

It's not as scary as it sounds.
