What do you guys reccomend in a decent .22 semi-auto pistol? I have heard the cheaper ones jam unless you use only high powered rounds?

a .22 semi pistol is nothing to skimp on. every cheap one i shot i wanted to toss in the river after a few minutes.

the walther is a pretty good one.

I have an older Ruger Mark II semi.22 The thing is a blast to shoot.That pistol has performed flawlessly over the years.It will shoot anything.

 

[hunt/fish365]

Yep. The Ruger is a really good gun. I've shot them, and know quite a few people that have them that love them. They come in many different versions to choose from too.

I have a Ruger Mark II with bull barrel. It is a joy to shoot and never lets me down.

Another vote for Ruger Mark II. I have one, and I've shot a few of my uncle's, no problems with any of them. I also like that they have a good feel and weight to them, even for a 22.

Another vote for the Mark II. I also have the bull barrel and it is a lot of fun to shoot and extremely dependable. My wife is not a big fan of guns but even she had fun when I had her shooting targets.

You know, I was lookingat that pistol on the Ruger site last night and would probably go for the standard 4 3/4" barrel model or the 5" bull barrel model. I`ll check out the Walther also.

Thanks-Jack

Also have the Ruger Mark II in stainless and a red dot scope.Had it for 10 yrs plus and love it.Will be with me to i die.

You can't go wrong with either a Ruger or a Browning. As far as used guns go, if you can find an old High Standard they are great guns too. As far as what you'll be using it for there are other considerations. If you just want one for plinking any of the above will work. If you want to get into target shooting then the Browning will be better then the Ruger. The Browning's come out of the box tack drivers, the Ruger's need some customizing to be equal to the Browning. Unless you pay the big bucks for the high end Ruger with the flutted barrel.

One of the Rugers I used was a stainless target model with adjustable sights. It had a bull barrel that was around 5" or so. That gun was a tack driver. Probably the most fun I ever had shooting a 22. IF we could hunt with them I would have one.

I have owned 3-4 of the Ruger Mark I & II's. All of them have been very accurate. You can't go wrong with one of the Rugers.

I have the Browning Buckmark. Same can be said for that gun. Just keep feeding it ammo and it will keep shootin!

Both the Ruger and the Browning are fine little semi 22's.

I own a walther P22 and had a walther TPH. The TPH jammed a lot, but my P99 has yet to have a problem. I use CCI bullets and nothing else. Fired about 1000 rounds through it.

 

[flyfishr]

The Ruger Mark II is my favorite.

 

[octagon]

Thanks fellas!! I will check them all out. I use mainly CCI Min-Mags with the 40 grain roundnose bullet in all of my .22s

 

[octagon]

Does anyone own the Ruger Mark III 22/45 model that has alot less angle to the grip and feels like a 1911 style?

 

[GreyWolf2]

I have a Ruger Mark III w/ 6 7/8" barrel. Very accurate and a blast to shoot.

 

[79inpa]

mk2 or don't bother

 

[rflktrman]

I have the 22/45 and really enjoy it. Thought it was a Mark II, guess I am not shooting it enough!
