Ruger SR22 range report

[morrcarr67]

So I was finally able to get to the range today to shoot some of my new guns, including the SR22.

I find it to be a great little gun, even though I have large hands. Even my brother who has larger hands than me said it felt good in the hand. I found it to have little to no recoil. I wasn't really shooting for accuracy, but at about 7 yards I was easily able to keep the groups the size of a small coffee can.

What I wanted to see was how it did with different rounds. I put 40 rounds each of Federal Auto-Match, Lighting, American Eagle and a "white box" 36 CPHP. I also ran 40 rounds each of Remington Thunderbolt, CCI Mini Mags and Winchester Super X. The little SR was vert hungry as it ate everything I gave her. I did have two FTF, (light strikes?) from the AE. Though those are also some of the oldest rounds in the stash.

Overall I'm very happy with the little plinker. Next trip to the range I will spend a little more time working on accuracy with a few different rounds.

Sounds great, I had one for many years don’t remember it being ammo picky.

I like the fact they give you two different sized grips, bigger and smaller. Even though the bigger is still a little small if you have fairly large hands, it’s much better then the small one.

Neat. The SR22 is a great little pistol. Glad to see that it's been returned to the roster.

Did you find that the mags were a little “tricky “ to load? The 2 that came with mine are not as “free” to load as other 22LR mags that I have.

Yes I did. Hopefully it will get better with more use.

I'm thinking of installing a FO front sight on mine, great rimfire pistol

Recently picked one up. Included mag loads easy. 2 pack ruger mags, the rim's catch sometimes going in. All feed well.

Picked one up for when I take my wife shooting, she?s in love. I don?t particularly like da/sa pistols, but the trigger is not egregiously offensive to me on this one. I have hands on the medium to smaller size and find it very comfortable with the default grip. Overall for the price I like it.

Yeah, and at only about a $200 markup from its previous price. CA sucks sometimes?..

Before they were added to the roster, they were selling for $800 and up

It's hard to be accurate with a 3.5 inch barrel.

Mid-high $400s is about what they go for even in free states. It ain't a California thing; it's a Bidenflation thing.

Bought one for my wife at Ammo Bros in Ontario for around $300 before moving to Utah

I didn't pay much more than you. I paid $323 plus tax and the ridiculous DROS fee.

That’s not a bad price.
