Pistol or revolver?

And WHY?

 

[HKMark23]

3" S&W 650 22 Magnum / 22LR

Yup, designed as a WMR but a spare 22lr cylinder could be ordered
A very few special order sets were shipped from the factory with both cylinders S/N matched
Bought my first set back in the 80's and it took me some four decades to find a second set NIB

The ultimate "Kit Gun" IMO
Beautiful looking and beautifully shooting
I've been known to carry one for SD on occasion

I had a 22/45 Lite all Volquartzen'd that I gifted to my Dad during the last shortage.

Right now it's my Keltec P17. Hi cap, accurate, reliable, very light weight. Makes a very good trail/kit gun



I liked it so much I bought another one

 

[Doc Holliday]

TX22 Standard (non-competition model)

Great ergos, runs like a sewing machine, inexpensive ammo, high capacity (16-round mags) and only 20 oz loaded.

TX22 Standard (non-competition model)

Great ergos, runs like a sewing machine, inexpensive ammo, high capacity (16-round mags) and only 20 oz loaded.

Yeah, I got a couple of those too, kinda big but I use them to teach new shooters. I like the P17 better though.

S&W 2214 perhaps

Not hi-cap, although 41 mags work too, in my case, 46 mags.

TX22 Standard (non-competition model)

Great ergos, runs like a sewing machine, inexpensive ammo, high capacity (16-round mags) and only 20 oz loaded.

Any reason to not get the competition model?

Any reason to not get the competition model?

Just personal preference, I guess...the Standard suits me just fine.

 

[speedway]

Ruger MkIII. It’s the only ruger I own. It’s been flawless.

 

[ActanonVerba70]

Pistol or revolver?

And WHY?

My Pathfinder 22 that I purchased many years ago. Marked - Charter Arms Corp. Stratford Conn.

I purchased the Pathfinder at a time that I did not have a lot of money. I wanted a 22 for teaching the kids and plinking etc.

They may not be the finest handguns but they still get the job done.

I bought a Ruger Mark IV last week and took it to the range today. I got it so I could spend some time at the range without breaking the bank. Very fun gun to shoot.

 

[FullClip]

Hard choice between my Ruger MKIII Target and this S&W 17-6. But if I really had to pick just one....

 

[Mark2Glock]

My early 50's 4 screw S&W Model 17

 

[Stevekozak]

Ruger Single-Six .22/.22 Mag 6 inch barrel. Why? It is the only .22 handgun I own.

 

[peng]

I've had a bunch. Right now all I have is my Kimber rimfire target (1911 style).

I'd have to say my favorite was my S&W 422. Ate anything, deadly accurate, low bore axis and nice styling. So many of the newer 22's especially the striker fired ones have strange lines to me.

Not sure why I sold it. Dumb.

 

[weisse52]

Toss up between my S&W Mdl 41 and a Ruger Government Model.
Smith was marginally more accurate but the Ruger would feed anything.

 

[donald4972]

Pistol or revolver?

And WHY?

I own a Ruger 22LR Single Six hand gun. It's fun to target shoot with.

My Ruger Standard (MKI), gifted to me by my dad when I was young. he bought it in the early 50's. Still got it. I've owned a couple newer models (MKII's). Still have one of them.

One that I really regret seeing go away was a Ruger Bearcat I couldn't talk my dad out of parting with, even though he loaned it to me a lot for field plinking. I really liked that little .22 SA with the unfluted cylinder. It provided many hours of fun plinking, including shooting little fast-darting lizards using .22 Shorts.
