SR22 or S&W M&P22 or Ruger Mk something??

[aghauler]

Found out my Buckmark doesn't like hollow points but works great with 40gr solids. I'd like to buy a pistol that is reliable with hollowpoints.
So I'm looking for recommendations for a 22lr semiauto pistol that isn't finnicky about what kind of ammo is used in it.

S&W 22A-1. I have used at least 10 different brands of ammo thru mine, solids and hollow points and never a hiccup with any of it. Comes with two mags and as a bonus its pretty darn accurate. Easy to field strip and clean. Comes with a lifetime warranty. I have the 7" barrel and the balance is somewhat forward, the 5.5" is probably better for balance but less accurate.

S&W 22a

Just got back from the range after getting my used 22A out of jail. Had half a brick of golden bullets. FTF, FTC, FTE. I hope the guy just left it dirty. 25% left on the floor.

Be interesting to see what happens after you give it a good cleaning as is seems your experience is the opposite of IZZYS. I'd be put out also if a pistol I just got functioned like that.

Thanks guys for the input!

Can't speak from experience for most of those handguns but my SR22 eats everything I feed it. It may not be a match gun, but it's definitely fun and well sized for my small hands. A good buy for 325.00 OTD on my end.

have you considered the GSG 1911-22/Sig Sauer 19211-22? It is a fun gun at a very reasonable price. The size makes it really stable in the hands. I have shot Winchester Golden's and M-22's, Federal Bulk, and Remington Thunderbolts through mine, I also have the Sr22. No problems whatsoever.

Thought about the GSG but saw some reviews somewhere a few months back about issues with the slide (cracks???) and the warrenty service. I've held the SR22 and thought it felt good, haven't had my hands on a S&W M&P 22 yet OR a Ruger in years. going to Cabela's Monday so maybe I can do some window shopping after all the Calif travelers have gone home from their weekend in Reno and buying up the ammo.

I love my Ruger MK III 22/45, one of my best purchase last year. Eats all sorts of bulk ammo for lunch, accurate as heck. The only hollow points I've ran through her was CCI Stinger 22LR and mostly federal Bulk. I havn't had the chance to try anything else because Brass is the New Gold at the moment.

It's tough to find one that will feed everything.

All of my .22 pistols like the 325 round automatch bulk packs in the beige box. They all struggle with the Winchester 555 round value packs.

I have an SR22. Fun little guns. After about 750 rounds it developed some slide wear that I did not like. Need to send it back to Ruger, just haven't gotten around to it.

Also have a P22 but never put enough rounds through it to determine good or bad.

I have a 22/45 Mkii that I just bought. I haven't fired it yet, but some seem to struggle at the steel challenge matches I go to.

Lastly, M&P22. This is the gun I shoot most right now. It has about 2000 rounds through it with no issues. I use it as a steel challenge gun and really enjoy it. It would be my choice if I only could have one.

Have no idea if any of them will have issues with hollowpoints. I guess my point is to pick your gun and then find an ammo it likes.

im willing to bet money ... that it was the golden bullets...

feed some mini mags through it, and get back to us

Ditto...hate golden bullets. 22A eats all others. My ammo of choice for plinking is CCI blazer. Now if I could just find some

What scope is that on your 22/45???

I just recently picked up a MP 22LR. Overall experience, it's a great 22lr pistol.

It's a Bushnell Micro Red Dot, great bang for your buck if you ask me.

[marcus_bervus]

tried all kind of 22LR before finally choosing Ruger 22/45... i was not disappointed with my choice...

[gunnlover]

My MP22 chews up the Winchester 555 rounds and had no failure of any kind.
