want a 22 pistol

[derfatdutchman]

Another vote for Ruger Mark II/III, I have a red dot on my and use it for target shoot and dispatching ground hogs around the house, very accurate and very reliable.

Ruger makes a very good .22, so does Sig, walther and Browning. I am partial to Ruger Mark II myself, but that is just me. There are also revolvers available as well. My Ruger pistol is the target model, and I have had it threaded so that it can accept a silencer. The gun is a hoot. I think you will enjoy it immensely regardless of what brand you buy.

My .02 cents

I agree the Ruger MkII si a nice .22 pistol, but lots of luck on breaking it down to clean after a range session. The release on the back strap and lining it back up after the clean is a major pain in the tush ! I finally dumped mine after a few years of it simply being too much trouble.
Get a Ruger revolver for ease and cheap plinking.
Of course, my .02.

And of course, no one is going to depend on a .22 for defense. Good cheap range time though !!

I love my Sig Mosquito for target practice on the range! Would not use it for a conceal carry but great cheap fun for the range

You can not go wrong with the Ruger 22/45. I have mine in stainless and bull barrell. I have put thousands of rounds through it and have yet to have a problem. I have never fired the sig misquito that I have, so i dont know about it. I have tried most of what is out there. I dont think that for plinking you can beat the ruger. the 22/45 frame is very similar to the colt 1911.

Take a look into the Kel-Tec PMR 30. Thirty rounds of .22 Magnum. I'm usually not a Keltec fan, but this looks quite promising.

Also, I am fairly knowledgeable (sp?) about firearms, it is my biggest passion. Anybody can pm me questions if they so desire

I'm partial to the Walther p22. Feels like an extension of the arm. Great little gun and many options.

I have been looking at the P22 for a while now.

I think this thread just motivated me to pick it up!
