I'm trying to get a whole picture of all semi .22lr pistols in the market, please add more in your reply if there's something I'm missing, or correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm leaving ruger 22/45, mark III and browning buckmark out of this comparison since they're so iconic everyone knows about them already. 1. GSG 1911-22 (Sig 1911-22) same gun, made by GSG in Germany, 1911 style, removeable barrel, full size 2. Colt 1911-22 made by Walther in Germany, 1911 style, fixed barrel, full size, just a tad more expensive then GSG 1911, I think it's a better buy, especially the rail version 3. Sig Mosquito very ammo picky, not recommended? YMMV 4. Walther P22 ammo picky, smaller frame size, maybe good for people with small hand size 5. S&W M&P 22 full size, similar to M&P 9mm version, eats any ammo, great training gun if you have centerfire M&P pistols 6. Sig 226-22, 229-22 similar in size to their centerfire versions, reliable eats any ammo, great training gun if you have centerfire versions 7. Advantage Arms .22 Glock conversion a little ammo picky, great training tool if you already have Glock To sum it up, if you want a 1911 style 22, probably Colt 1911-22 is best buy followed by either GSG or Sig. If you just want a 22, ruger or browning is best bet. If you want 22 version of your centerfire pistol, go with factory option. |

8. Pheonix arms
cheap gun, can be picky, if you get a bad one they have a lifetime warranty, weird safeties, cute little guns though. 9. Ruger SR22 Pistol Supposed to be awesome, and modeled after walther p22, but improved, some issues with the slide release lever breaking, will probably get worked out soon 10. Browning 1911-22 Scaled down 1911, kind of cool looking- haven't heard anything on them yet, they are selling them in CA though. there are some others, but i don't think they are on the CA roster Last edited by 1970gmc4x4; 05-23-2012 at 11:42 PM.. |

i got over 2k rounds in my hp22 and none were shot with standard velocity, mostly cci blazers and mini mags and stingers on ocassion, only thing it needs now is a new recoil spring (seems to be the guns weakest point) i can even hit bowling pins with it @ 20yds ![]() $150 lifetime warranty and made here in SoCal

Smith & Wesson 22A is a Calguns special at Turners this week for $209.
Very good accuracy, it has really nice sights, the trigger is good, and the magazines are not to expensive and available. The 41 is great, but at 4 times the cost. |

S&W 22A-1, check the "May Rimfire Match" here on Calguns for a little accuracy check. Will eat any and I mean any ammo (just keep the action clean), likes Aguila Pistol Match the best. Not pretty but its a shooter and with a lifetime warranty, what's not to like. A steal @ $209.

I haven't done any research on it, but I have the suspicion that the GSG/Sig and Colt are sourced from the same company. Probably GSG.
Edit: Never mind, they are. Keenkeen posted this great link from m1911.org in the handguns section. After reading it, they seem pretty cool. I would like to know how they will fair in the long term, both the gun and the company.

I'll throw mine onto the list:
1) Beretta 87 Solid pistol, wonderful pistol. It costs more but it is my wife's favorite 22 2) Beretta 87Target The "Target" version of the 87. Solid performer. I love mine after a trigger job but would do things differently. Oh yeah, cleaning is annoying because of the barrel weight. 3) Beretta 70S Fun pocket gun. Like an Italian sports car it costs to maintain it. 4) Sig Trailside Fantastic and accurate pistol. Definitely underrated 5) Walther TPH Great pocket-carry pistol. Very small even in small hands. 6) S&W Model 41 Best trigger and weight in a target 22 I've ever felt was on a friend's 41. Going back to my #2 if I had to do it over I would spend the time to find a nice used 41. 7) Ruger MKIII Target Solid performer, inexpensive, Rubik's cube assembly and disassembly. -Peter

CZ 75 Kadet - can be bought as a complete gun, or as a caliber conversion kit for your CZ 75 in 9/40. Excellent ergonomics, steel-framed DA/SA with frame-mounted safety.

S&W 41 has one of the best triggers I've ever tried on any gun. If 22lr shooting wasn't about saving money for me, I would love to get one.

I've had great luck with Ceiner 22LR upper on a Beretta 92FS... Eats all ammo I throw at it, and upper is still cheaper (or about the same price) as low end 22LR pistols..... Beretta makes a kit, but it's like $380..

So i even went and looked at a couple of these today, one for $200 brand new and one for $150 slightly used. They used to be cheaper or that particular gun shop is just high, not sure, but they actually look like some cheap fun, they fact they have a good warranty is what interests me, i won't want to buy a cheap gun and be stuck with a POS.

I have a Phoenix Arms HP22A.
I heard the cracked frames are a design flaw they blame on high vel. ammo, but who knows. I just got mine back from repair. The hammer pin worked out and it broke. I mailed it through turners(free), they repaired it, and sent it back with 4 free mags. How cool is that?!? I read it's a common problem. Now that I know to check for it, I'll just keep an eye on it. I can't even guess how many rounds I have through mine. Lots. The recoil spring is a little rinky dink, but evidentally it's fine considering I've got thousands of rounds through mine and no problems with it. I need to get some extras though, just in case, thanks for mentioning it. I have a couple NAA revolvers. I think I'd buy a magnum version with a longer handle. The ones I have are really hard to hold. |

Great info, I'm looking to buy a .22 Pistol shortly.
I'd like to ask about the Turners Special for Cal Gunners... How often do they have a new sale? It seems like at $210 for a S&W 22A, that's an amazing deal. |

Every week I think. Better check on it before you go down.

The $200 - $400 22s are all decent guns for what they're worth. The funny thing is once you compare them side by side to a + $1000 real target pistol there is no comparison.
I own 4 S&W 22a - one for each member of the family. They are fun to shoot, easy to maintain but when shot alongside my High Standard Super Trophymatic or my buddy's S&W 41 its just as mentioned above - no comparison. |

First one I purchased was $229 on sale from Turner's. Then they went up to $239 on sale..the $209 price is about as cheap as you can find it. |

But none of them compare to the Lamborghini the guy has down the street from me. I would never compare a working man's gun to a compitition gun.

Go to the vendor section. Turners has their sub forum.

For what it's worth. My Mosquito has been good to me. Eats most cheap high velocity stuff no problem. has a few hundred rounds through it so far.
