Whats your favorite 22 pistol and why?

Incredible post for pics and content. Well done sir. You need to make it to a Houston Range Day next time we do one. Lots of rimfire fans in our group with some crazy rimfire toys.

I'd like to do that. Rimfires aren't my primary interest, but I seem to drag them home with frequency and nary a trip to the range happens without at least one in my bag.

That 41 is on my list for sure.

S&W 41 at the range, Ruger Mk II with a 6" or 6 7/8" bbl in the field. Both guns are reliable and plenty accurate for me. After shooting the Ruger Mk II for many years, disassembling it is no big deal (I still fumble with the Mk III's as I forget to put the magazine in to drop the hammer sometimes). I just have a hard time getting sweat, dirt and sand all over that classy looking 41 when I am in the field. Maybe I should get a used 41 with a less than perfect finish. hmmmmm.....

I like my 22/45 lite. I'll like it more with a suppressor.

Since this is about pistols...I like the M41. One was issued to me in the AMU (Army Marksmanship Unit). I've shot hundreds of matches with a succession of them. And they only get better with time. Here's mine from 1980. It wears an AMU-installed BoMar rear sight. M41s can be somewhat finicky about ammo.

Wearing an additional custom barrel built by SMSgt Dan Norwood, NCOIC of the NGMTU (National Guard Marksmanship Training Unit).

New Performance Center 41. Awesome pistola

The new Houston-made High Standard .22s seem to OK, but I haven't had a chance to really ring one out at 50 yards or shoot one in a match. Beautifully fitted and finished, though

Ive been struggling with which model of 10/22 to build or buy. Then it dawned on me, 22 pistols are more fun to shoot, accurate enough for my purposes and way more compact and handy.

Extra points for pix.

Ruger 10/22 Charger

Ruger MKII I've had since the early 80's

 

[Bozz10mm]

I only have one .22 pistol. A Ruger Mark I Target model. Love that pistol. If I was to buy a second .22 pistol, it would probably be an M&P 22. I like the thought of a Ruger Single Six, or 10 also.

 

[ShellbackBill]

Beretta Neos. Looks futuristic, eats any ammo, and is cheap and fun to shoot.

+1 for the Beretta Neos. Love mine. I looked in the gun case and said "Oh! What's that?" I already knew I was going to buy it.

Also have a Buckmark. Great gun.

Never had a problem with either.

Both shoot anything I feed them.

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

I like my Colt Targetsman and my 22/45 Lite.

The Colt just because it's a classic, has been in the family for a while, and is well worn in.

The 22/45 is going to be my heavy shooter though. Light enough that the overall package shouldn't be too heavy with a suppressor.

Advantage Arms conversion upper for Glock 19. Only problem is it will only shoot 40 gr Mini Mags, Golden Bullets or Federal Auto Match. All of which haven't got back into the market except some online purchases. With the cost of shipping and increased cost of .22lr there isn't a big savings over shooting .22 cents a round 9mm. It is fun to shoot, reasonably accurate and can do multi tap with the short trigger reset.

Marvel unit on a Caspian 1911 frame. Great for bullseye.

I've been seeing mini-mags at local gun shops. Have not seen golden bullets or Federal auto match anywhere outside of gun shows.

Then again, I wouldn't shoot Golden Bullets if they were given to me for free.

 

[FFournier]

My CZ Kadet. Very accurate, extremely reliable, eats anything I feed it except quiets and ergonomicly perfect for me.

 

[AustinN4]

I'm with you, Rebel. Remington Goldens don't run worth a darn in my SA 22s - Browning Buck Mark and Marlin 60. They are just too waxy and gummy.

 

[Army 1911]

My favorite is my Colt 1911 WWI era frame with an Ace conversion on it. Not real accurate but fun.

 

[A.Texas.Yankee]

GSG 1911 22 threaded barrel.

Don't know about *favorite*, but I really liked the little Beretta 71 I owned in South Africa - it had the regular thumb-safety, as opposed to the earlier, button-tpe crossbolt safety:

 

[JChris ETX]

Beretta 87 Cheetah. It oozes quality, feels solid in the hand and have yet to find any ammo it doesn't like.
