.22 recommendation..

[berettabattler]

Hola Guys..

I'm in the market for a .22 pistol..

However though, I'm having trouble of which one to buy..

I tried my friend's mosquito and it was rubbish.. it would jam or not feed..

Should I get the 226 conversion kit for my sig? or try for a ruger?

My price range is around $400..

thanks..

In order of my preference

Buck Mark
S&W 422 or 622 (used)
Ruger

[hylander]

My first choice would be a Ruger, next a Buckmark.
I have not heard good reviews on the Sig conversions, I have only seen one and it Jammed so much the guy put it up and gave up.
I have had 3 Rugers, 2 22/45's and one Competition Slabside and all performed flawless and very accurate.
I had one Buckmark Contour, at first it would stovepipe alot, but alittle tweeking and it was great.

Im the flipside of Hylander: Buckmark first then Ruger, but I submit to you that you will consistently see the Buckmark and the Ruger named over and over again. These are great pistols. A friend of mine has the SIG conversion and its OK but it didnt hit home for me. He also had a 1911 conversion and it was just ok. The ruger has better access to holsters if you need one but cleaning can be interesting your first few times in.

browning buckmark even though i own a ruger 22/45.

bud's sells them cheap and they come with 2 cylinders so you can shoot .22 magnums....

love my ruger 22/45

Since we are on the subject, how about the Walther P22?

Worth the cash or pile of trash?

My lady loves the Ruger single six, but is not quite liking even my 9mm. Looking to get her comfortable with a semi auto .22 that I might also find some fun shooting too!

I have had a Buckmark Camper for years with no problems; my dad recently bought a Ruger MkIII and has had feeding issues; not sure if he totally resolved it yet. I like the Buckmark open sights better too. Single six is fun, but harder to shoot well than a semi-auto for us both. Try both, see which shoots and feels better in your hand. I've never shot the P22. The CZ Kadet is kinda fun too, feels like a full size 9mm since it's on the 75 frame. If you have a 75 you can buy the slide to make the Kadet.

Buckmark for me.

[9mmepiphany]

the Walther P22 is a bit better than the Mosquito, plus you can use the same mags if you get the bullpup rifle too.

i prefer the Buckmark to the Ruger, because i can upgrade it with a Tac-Sol barrel/upper

if you already have a Sig 226 and your objective is to become a better shot on a budget, the conversion kit should be a no-brainer. i've only run CCI MiniMags through mine, but it has been flawless...but then i had it matched to my 226ST when i had it's action tuned at Apex Tactical

if you have a 1911 frame already. try look into marvel conversion. they are about as good as it gets in terms of accuracy for a .22 conversion for a 1911.

[mikengracie]

What are you gonna use it for? Plinking, hunting, target? All Around? Find a used Ruger MKII. Any of them can be had $400 or under NIB. LNIB $300-$350. But if you want one with all of the above and an investment save and buy a used S&W model 41. I have shot or owned most 22 semi autos and love the 41. But in your price range the Ruger MKII's are common and very reliable. Find a 5.5" bull barrel or a 6 7/8 slab side.

[berettabattler]

Is most likely going to be plinking and teaching people how to shoot..

So far, I have a 226 and would like to expand the collection a little bit..

at one point, there were a used ruger mk3 for $210..

I looked into the conversion kit for my 226 but for the same price, I can get another instead... my friends mosquito was just plain disappointment.. it would not take any federal bulk pack .22 at all.. the only thing it takes are the cci mini mags..

Revolver
Browning
Ruger
S&W41

Nothing else for a first .22lr. All the Berrettas, Walthers, S&W22s tend to have problems. The guys who like theirs, tend to have less than 1000 rounds through them. Go with a gun that will stand up to 100,000 rounds without a major repair.
