If you have a .22LR pistol, tell me about it, comments, etc. Need to look for a reliable, solid, heirloom-grade pistol built to last. Cheers XI!

An old handgun that comes with memories passed on to you. Definitely something that my potential purchase shall become one day! I'm sure they don't make then as sturdy as the old days tho...that is the problem. Pot metal and plastic bushings (on some, not all).

It still amazes me that Walmart sells guns and ammo, to us in UK it's very strange, the most dangerous thing we ever see in Asda (UK Walmart) are cactuses in summer, you all must know the old joke over here. Man at checkout in Walmart, the cashier says sorry sir we can't sell you that Kinder Egg as the parts inside might hurt your child, man replies oh that's ok I'll just take an M16 and a 1000 rounds of ammo then please. From what I'm gathering in this post is that Walmart sell guns and ammo cheaper than gunshops, that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of different pistols and some pretty outrageous ones in custom calibers. But I have more fun with the 22 pistol than any of the others. Can go out and shoot all day for next to nothing and it doesn’t beat the crap out of your wrist and arm. Find the one that fits you.

I HAD a S & W .22LR revolver, but got rid of it because it was inaccurate and way to loud for a .22LR. I HAVE a Ruger Mark I .22LR, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Not nearly as loud, feels natural in your hand (because of the grip angling, don't ya know?), and is PRETTY DAMN ACCURATE! Great action, nicely constructed, and fun to shoot. I have other pistols, but I am, as usual, on point. Respectfully submitted (again, as usual, mostly), Ayaq reddog955i 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Are you sure the inaccuracy was the pistols fault ? Lol funny you mention it being loud. My Woodsman match target is real loud. From what I have heard the military used some of them when there was a 45 acp shortage for training purposes. They lighted up the spring in the 22 It caused the pistol to recoil and sound close to the 45acp. Mine doesn’t have the recoil. Glass smooth. But with some loads it is really loud for a 22 semi auto AyaqGuyaq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
