Looking to get a 22lr pistol

[xobelkcat]

I pretty much got my mind set on the Walther p22,
but I would like to hear from some members with opinions of what they like.

They break.

S&W 41
Colt Woodsman/huntsman
Browning Buckmark
Ruger MK2

 

[xobelkcat]

They dont have a waranty?

 

[bhp9mm]

the Ruger mk II or the smith and wesson model 41

Ok so no love for the p22.

What are some personal opinions on the SIG mosquito?

Had one (mosquito) and loved it as long as I used CCI MiniMags. It didn't like cheap ammo but worked like a charm with the MiniMags. I wish I had kept it. lol

STAY AWAY from the p22 and the Mosquito they only like to chew on CCI ammo which can get pretty expensive for back yard shooting.

Ruger MK
Browning Buckmark
or S&W 22A
.22LR conversion for 1911

Even on the Sigforum they hate the Mosquito. Gun Tests found that the one they had would fire out of battery and stopped the test. The Sig in this case is garbage in my opinion. I should qualify that by saying I'm a Sig Sauer fan too. The Walther is in my opinion not a bad handgun overall. I guess you're only considering semi auto's?

Ruger MK II. This pistol is the firearm that arguably built Sturm, Ruger & Co.

You can't go wrong with one of these.

I love my Buckmark! I'd say either the Browning or the Ruger, both are exceptional semi-auto .22's.

 

[xobelkcat]

I have a single action revolver that I love.
Im looking for a semi-automatic, but I dont care for the look of the buckmarks, and the S&W 41 is too much for a 22lr

I've got 2 P22's and love them, they'll run any .22 ammo you feed them.

Well I also have a Buckmark for close to twenty years now. Great gun. But if you don't like it you don't like it. CZ makes a Cadet in 22LR that gets great reviews. Of course Ruger makes high quality 22LR SA revolvers. But the Walther was the one you asked about. Gun Tests liked it. I have not shot one. It's small. Not a target or trail type gun but a quality piece from what I've read.

I have a Browning Buckmark. I'd go with either that or a Ruger. The triggers on P22 and Mosquitoes suck. P22 can be finicky on ammo, overall cheap gun.

My $0.02

The cz kadet is a sweet gun but they run pretty expensive too.

Love my p22! I only buy that cheap/dirty ass Federal walmart ammo and never had any problems.

You might want to check the WTB .22 LR thread I started in the Firearms Classifieds:

Lots of feedback there. Since I did not find the right .22 there, I will be buying one at Cabela's tomorrow. They won't say when the sale ends. Good luck.

I was surprised to discover the P22 had a potmetal (zinc) slide.
