.22 caliber semi-auto

[jeep45238]

I've done a lot of shooting with P22's (about 5 years) and 1-2 years with Ruger Mark series - I've also done a ton of shooting with S&W 22's (not the model 41), Browning Buckmarks, Beretta Neos, and some with a Colt Woodsman.

I like the Colt Woodsman the MOST out of all of them (except the heel mag release). I bought a Ruger Mark 3. The rest of the pistols were average for accuracy, reliability, and ergonomics. None of them have a price difference to the Ruger that was enough to make up for the negatives for everything else in my eyes. I got this when I was working at a gun shop, so keep in mind this was wholesale pricing to me, not retail.

The reliability, durability, relative accuracy, choice of polymer or steel frame, and multitude of options out of the factory in regards to barrel lengths, profiles, lengths, and sights - they have something that'll work for what you want.

The Buckmark is suppressor friendly also. Here's a bit from another forum. The price is pretty good too.

SUPPRESSED BUCKMARK PISTOL PACKAGE!!!! - Maryland Shooters

Now that's a neat Buckmark combo! You can still use the iron sights with that setup.<<excuse me a second, gotta wipe the drool from my chin>>

How about a 1950's J.C. Higgens Model 90 9 shot .22 revolver. Straight from the Sears catalog (shown with a P22 for scale):



Ah, but I digress. Sorry!

I am probably going to do a Walther as they are easy to install suppressors on. I have been holding off getting one since Missouri became suppressor legal.

When the supressed Walther comes out to play it is usually the most popular gun of the day. Sounds like you are shooting spitballs. We have to keep reminding ourselves that it is still a gun!:86:

Hard to go wrong with a Browning or a Ruger, but I own a Buck Mark. I just love the trigger and the tack driving qualities. Looks like that p22 would be a lot of fun for plinking as well.

I recently purchased the Sig Mosquito and while it is very sensitive to the ammo choice, I have been very happy with it. I have put about 300 rounds downrange and the only problems have been when I have not used CCI minimags.

I have a Buckmark and a Walther, I like them both though I think the Browning is the more accurate of the two. Of the five .22's I own my favorite is the High Standard Supermatic Trophy (about twice the $$$) followed by my Rossi revolver (about 1/3 the $$$), the Buckmark, the Walther, then the Ruger Single Six.
