best 22 pistol

[ShottyTim]

hey guys just got back this weekend and tested out my beretta brigadier in .40 and a sig 2340 pro in .40 as well and .40 is both expensive and far to much kick, so i am curious to know which 22 pistol you guys would reccomend, i want something, sturdy, and accurate, looks dont really care, and price is a concern, but not a huge one, thanks guys, o and i want something that also happens to be very resilent to the elements

there a lot of good .22 guns out there; Ruger is a simple reliable gun, but I like Buckmark 5.5 targer better. If you have the money get a S&W 41 but in my opinion it's not worth that much. If you liek soemthing 'different' look at Walther P22 or Beretta Neos

Hands down, . . . Browning Buckmark. Great trigger, . . . great value, . . . holds ten, . . . easy to clean, . . . reliable, . . . had a Ruger for several years, got a Browning, . . . got another Browning, . . . probably never go back.

Use the search function for this forum, . . . this question comes up every month or two, . . . there is a lot of reading out there if you care to do it.

May God bless,

CZ kadet/walther P22/SIG trailside.
Also, if you can find an old high standard, they are good, as well.

My favorite is the MKII, but if you want to meet and surpass your criteria, that is the gun that will do it.

S&W 41 is a great gun for feel and accuracy, but they're very picky about ammo (mine is so unreliable I don't enjoy shooting it), and maybe too nice for the field.

Browning Buckmark is good and accurate, but I don't like mine nearly as much as the Ruger (which is simpler more reliable).

In my opinion a S&W 617 is the way to go...it's a full size, DA/SA, 10-shot revolver. I don't generally like revolvers very much, but it's the ONLY .22 I ever shoot anymore...I'll sometimes take all 5 of my .22's to the range and never get around to touching the others. I found mine for $250 (used in great shape).

If a older gun I vote for the colt woodsman! If you want a new gun im fond of the walther p22...bought one for my daughter and she loves it.. :rolleyes:
