..I need a good .22lr pistol....

[PaiN]

I've had Ruger MKII's for decades now. I currently have the 50'th anniversary model. I prefer the bottle neck bbls, but wouldn't kick a bull bbl out of my house. I've played with the Buckmark, great 22. If I have 22 ammo that refuses to light off, I stuff it in my 10/22 or my MKII, it lights off then. Not one problem with my MKII's. I could go with a MKIII if they get rid of that stupid magazine disconnect safety. I do like the American style magazine release. Then again, I haven't played with a MKIII yet either, and if it is not as good as my MKII, then it can stay where it is.

j, did you happen to catch the newest MKIII 22/45 yet?

I'm torn between two responses: WTF, and why? That one the jury is still out on. I dunno about that stubby bbl, the threads on the end I get (see no use, but I get) the rail on the bottom I get sorta, the rail on the top, what and why kind of optics, and to put all of that junk in one place like that, I'm a little leery. Yet, I am strangely drawn to it. I must be sick in the head.

I'll recommend the Rugers to anyone. For the price, they are incredibly accurate and nice shooters.

Its okay to like one, just don't buy one....
I noticed that Ruger is now making the the 22/45 with wood grip panels. I did a search on Gun Genie and can get one locally out the door for exactly $323.06

^^^ FYI - that's the RP model I was mentioning earlier (see post 14 for pic of mine). Great gun and it's the favorite of my Mk II's and Mk III's.

Also... got the BuckMark today, hoping to get to the range tomorrow.

+1 for the ruger. i have a mkIII bull and love it. countless federal bulk rounds thru it and it'll still drive tacks. im gonna to the trigger kit on it soon.

Oh yea..there its right out in front. It got lost in all the GSG-1911 talk.
thanks Buckeye...

I must have gotten lucky with my P22. I have read online of people complaining about it, but am yet to meet someone in person who doesn't like it. Mine will eat any single kind of ammo out there, has never had a FTF or FTE, and as long as I'm steady with hand, I have hit snakes in the head with it from 20 feet, and dance around the two inner rings of a target from 10 yards with bulk ammo.

[PaiN]

The P22 I also ran great on any ammo I tried and I had no complaints on its accuracy either. My issues with it were; 1. it was too small for my hand. 2. the barrel nut kept coming loose during firing. and 3. the slide is cheap pot metal and I was starting to get some scary looking ware....

Want to get some pics up for now, I'll add my thoughts in a bit when I have some more time.

nice pistols

My Buckmark was the last pistol that I bought brand new everything else has been used. It is a tack driver, just a great .22lr.

I don't think you could go wrong with a Ruger, between the two is there any reason to buy something different. They are both simply a great time at the range.

I can barely breathe ....
Alright...I happen to have a brown paper bag next too me

Buckeye can you give a comparison opinion between the Buckmark and Ruger 22/45RP? These happen to be the two choices it comes down too for me.
