.22 Pistol Recommendation

[CouesKelly]

Another vote for the Ruger Mk IV. I have the 22/45 with the lite barrel. Tons of fun little upgrades you can do with them if you want down the line with items from tacsol and volquartsen. Great suppressed or without.

I have Glock 44 with suppressor and its movie quiet with subsonics. I always just use my bow when grouse hunting, but this is nice when near the truck.

Which barrel did you put into it?

I’ve got the same setup. Mk4 22/45 lite with a red dot and a Rugged mustang ultralight.

Shooting it with the 1050fps segmented HP CCIs is a squirrels nightmare.

I've blown money on several 22 semiautos over the years. The only one I actually like and have kept is the Sig P322, its a riot and has run on every ammo I've tried, plus its amazing with a suppressor. I hear great things about the Taurus, but haven't tried one myself.

Pleasure to shoot for sure.....can you tell it's actually gonna be my wifes gun?

Glock for me. I like the same platform. mtmuley

Sig P322 with the Romeo Zero Elite with a Banish 22, sweet set-up.

One thing i wouldnt buy.

Anything with a magensium or chinesium or part polymer slide. Glock, m&p, sr22, and im sure there are others.

I have two Buckmarks and a stainless Single 6, but I like the my Model 617 just slightly more than those options. It holds 10 and I made consistent hits with it when I first started shooting it so I carry it more. Lots of good advice has come through already and you will find a winner.

This thread is making me want a new one. I have a Mark II target hand me down from my dad. The Mark IV 22/45 with add ons looks pretty slick!

I have two 678 tapered target MK ii with the "hook" front sight. Both love CCI Quiet and Aquila Colibri. The Colibri won't cycle the action so there is no bolt slap.
I've always wondered what they would be like suppressed.

I missed a grouse with one on the way home from camp yesterday

I shot a coyote in the face a couple weeks ago with my Ruger.

Smith and Wesson Model 17 K frame .22 LR revolver. Bad news for squirrels in the bird feeder !

Didn’t know I wanted a .22 pistol until this thread… and now I want two.

Yeah, you need two, a semi-auto and a revolver...

 

[Sheltowee]

Really hoping @shrapnel chimes in with pics of a couple vintage Colt Woodsmans (Woodsmen?). I've wanted one since I was read Hemingway talking about them.

They're like tater chips. You can't stop at just one.

My son’s - unfired.

About 3 weeks ago I picked up a S&W victory 22 at a local ranch stores inventory reduction sale. 172.00. For the first two weeks it hung out in my center console and I was like a 16 y/o kid w my first BB gun every time I drove thru some public land. This thread solidified my original plan for it, a threaded barrel and can.
