Looking into a .22 pistol

[shortround]

I've heard Jennings makes a pretty sweet 22 pistol. Now excuse me comrades, while I duck for cover from the incoming deluge...

Comrades?

Not a surprising reply from a resident of the "People's Republic of Austin"!

Seems to me, Jennings are made for a demographic historically disarmed by Commissars.

Be well & Merry Christmas!

the poor or the black?

or both?

say what you mean damnit this aint Calguns.net

i had a jennings for a while.

it was actually pretty nice for a J-22.

most of the time it owuld get through an entire maazine without jamming.

main problem was keyholing .22 lr at 10 feet.

also, be sure when looking into any firearm, that you do so from the breach and not the muzzle

Ruger just introduced the SR22 Ruger® SR22™ Rimfire Pistol

 

[Younggun]

Looks good, gonna have to find some reviews, I wonder if they will have a threaded version.

 

[Charlie]

Looks like a nice pistol and............why wouldn't they make a (Ruger) threaded barrel for it? I hope Ruger doesn't miss the boat on that!

 

[Younggun]

the barrel appears to be all metal unlike some of the others, just wonder if it will be worth the 500 dollar price tag, of course thats msrp, may pay 400 for one if they are a winner.

School me on this, I may be misunderstanding something. Are there some other .22 pistols out there that have a "non-metal" barrel?

 

[Younggun]

sort of, I was referring to the P22 and mosquito which have a thin metal barrel wrapped in ''plastic''.

 

[Charlie]

Ahhh....didn't know that. Thanks. If $500 is MSRP I would think the street price might be close to $400, especially at someplace like Bud's Gun shop or some other wholesale type gun shop.

Would be nice, I wanted a .22 with a full size look but was turned off by the barrels and reliabilty problems with standard ammo.

WTF are you looking at??? Both of my Walther P22s have steel threaded barrels with a steel sleeve. The action is a light weight cast alloy. The only things that are plastic are the lower receivers and triggers, and the mag butts.

And they shoot just fine with bulk Remington ammo, and excellent with quality ammo. They just don't cycle reliably with low velocity or cheap stuff.

My bad, guess it's just the mesquito, I thought I had seen the same on a p22 that I had looked at. Reviews were mixed as far as what they liked to eat so I was leary, Like to feed my .22 whatever crap I have around. Glad you like yours.

I have 5 mags and can fire off 50 rounds as fast as I can pull the trigger and reload. They do very well with Remington Golden Bullets 525 bulk, Mini Mags, and anything that is not sub-sonic...except anything Winchester for some weird reason. I usually put 200+ down the pipe just to get into the zone before picking up my .45 or 9mm. It will easily put all 200 in a 10 inch circle at 15 yards.

Bout the only thing I buy is WWB

Did like the feel though, found the grip more comfortable than my neos

Found a review for the sr22 pistol, says you can get a threaded barrel, as long as cusomer reviews hold up I may be picking one up to go with my first suppressor purchase.

Interesting how much the Ruger looks like the Walther...

.22 revolvers are fun

I have a S&W 22A with a few mags that might be for sale soon... $6,000 in car repairs in three months has been killing me...
