What ya recommend? I'm tired of spending $100 everytime I go to the range.


Found a buckmark in like new condition being sold here in laffy, picked it up today.

Lots of choices out there.

Ruger 22/45
Sig Sauer Mosquito
Smith and Wesson M&P22
Ruger SR22

You can't go wrong with these choices, and yes there are many other great 22 pistols out there. Sounds like you need to make a trip to gun shop and hold a few

A lot are great. Some are not. Just find the style that you like and make sure that it has good reviews. Those are just some of the dozens available.

The Ruger and browning seem to be the conseus best..... I've shot the Sig and it was fun but pretty ammo particular. I think a lot of the ones that look like a traditional semiautomatic tend to be a little more Ammo particular.

I don't own either one, but I think the Browning Buckmark and the Ruger Mark 3 outsell all others by a longshot.

Ruger Standard - looks really good, is a solid performer, and a keepsake for years to come.

I have an SW 22A-1. I really like it because I can actually hit something and it hasnt hung up yet.

This was recommended to me by a close friend who's worked for the ATF for 30 years:

Kel-Tec PMR-30



Shoots .22 mag rounds.

Dad has a tiger with like a 7 inch barrel. Accurate as hell.

ETA like Gonzos except I think a little longer

I have a Ruger 22/45 that is as reliable as they come but I probably shoot my Ruger Charger the most. It is a blast to shoot. You should also look into finding a .22 conversion for one of the pistols you already have. I have one for a Glock made by Tactical Solutions.
