I'm wanting to pickup a decent .22 for practice (can't afford to shoot the 45 much!) What are the general reccomendations (under $400ish)
The Walther P22? Ruger MK?
Let's get some opinions...
$200ish would be nice :smt023
I don't know what gun shop you go to but the single six is not cheap. just under 400 as far as i know. very fine gun i have one and a ruger 22 auto. great way to kill time
I think it's probably general concensus that the Ruger is a great .22 pistol. I'd recommend the Mark II or III, both great guns.
I've got a S&W 22A as well but I wouldn't recommend it. The third round I ever put through it caused the action to blow off and the spring went flying off somewhere, I had to buy a new. Ever since it's jammed a lot. Maybe I just got a bad one, so don't let me deter you from getting one.
I think the Ruger's go for close to $500 but I'm not sure since I didn't buy either of mine. I have seen good used one's at gun shows though that go for around $300.
The Ruger is overall a better pistol, and comes in many different flavors. The P22 is however much smaller, lighter, easier to strip, and it's easy to put a noise reducer on one. (snip)
Take a look at the Beretta U22. My wife and I will be taking her new one to the range Monday.
Academy has them at $219 and $269 in the Dallas area, they have some stores in GA so it might be worth checking them out.
