Lets Argue About 22LR Pistols

[Jakey_Recline]

Looking for a 22 pistol. I have a High Standard but want to add either a Buck Mark or Ruger MK.
Argue below.

Picked up my Buckmark last week haven’t shot it yet.

Shot a friends last year, really liked it so bought one.

FYI it’s my 1st .22 pistol so limited experience for what it’s worth.

Wife loves her buck Mark camper.
Swapped the barrel and grips.

I have a Ruger MKII Target and a MKIV Hunter.
The MKII has a much better trigger out of the box but the MKIV with a Volquartsen trigger is pretty fantastic. It's better than a stock MKII trigger.
I have well North of 10,000 rounds through mine so far and it's one of my favorite guns I own.
I don't have much experience with the Buck Mark so no arguments from me.

My marvels kit made me forget I even owned a ruger 22

 

[FrankenToy]

I've go a MkII Target, too. Plenty of bolt on crap on it (grips, sights and now a RMR). Does the Buckmark have the same support? IDK...

 

[Steve300xcw]

Does the Buckmark have the same support? IDK...

Does it need all the extra gadgets to be decent, like the ruger does?

I have a MKIII slab side that I like real well, except for when I have to clean it, they're a bitch to reassemble which is the big advantage of the MKIV which doesn't have that issue.

What use case?

TandemKross has a lot of upgrades for both. I shoot Steel Challenge with my older 1993 Buckmark that was originally the Silhouette version with 10" bull barrel, foregrip and adjustable front and rear sights. Now it has the lightweight Tactical Solutions barrel and comp, TacSol rail, and TandemKross parts: trigger, sear spring, extended mag release, mag base pads, extractor. It had the charging handle and some G10 grips but I changed those out recently.

My P22 is fun as shit. Never had any problems with it.

 

[Steve300xcw]

you might be the only person in the world to be able to say that

This is my second one even. Maybe I’m just the only one who read the break-in directions?

 

[Steve300xcw]

Break in directions? You mean lube it up an go shoot?

Mine ran great on minimags but was pretty pissy about any bulk ammo. Killed a handful of grouse with it though

 

[D_JEEPER]

Ruger mk4 tactical lite has been on my to-buy list for a loooong time

 

[[486]]

they're all pretty cool

I'm a fan of the ruger toob style ones, with the mk2 up at the top of the list
but they're all great, so long as they run good,
bit of preference for old production rather than brand new

never shot a buckmark, but have shot a newer colt with that style of "half slide" going on that was a bit of a jammomatic
Buy one, see if it'll run for you.

Said it needed a brick of cci mags before it would reliably eat other shit.

 

[Steve300xcw]

CZ kadet if you can find one is a bad ass pistol too

You've never pimped out a gun, just because you could?

Marvels kit???
Have a ruger mk3 hunter 6", fun to shoot, accurate, reliable.
Have a buckmark for the wife with 6" or so barrel. fun to shoot accurate and reliable. she likes that the grips are purple.
Have a Sig p322 and shoot it mostly suppressed, it has been reliable and is a lot of fun to shoot. If you want more than 10 rounds I would look at one of these.
Had an uzi 22 pistol, didn't do much for me, was reliable, but the sights sucked, it was heavy and not ergonomic in the slightest.
Had a sig mosquito, (not really made by sig, but by an umarex, or gsg) after a fair amount of polishing and removing the mag safety it was ok. Would not cycle for the wife no matter what I tried. Would work for me with CCI. Sold to my brother and he likes it a lot. Have heard all kinds of horror story's of these guns being terrible and jamming all the time. would not recommend.

Do me a favor. Buy this one. Remove my temptation.

Ruger mk2 heavy taper barrel. Or Browning buckmark. Or a Ruger or Browning slabside

 

[Clb]

ok

Marvels kit???

Marvels unit One.

its a 22 slide you drop onto your 1911. Guaranteed 1" groups at 50yrds. Taylor tactical makes mag followers that will get you 16rounds per mag.

 

[SKULLYOTA]

Another vote for Ruger MkIV. Stupid easy to take apart and service.

I also highly recommend older H&R revolvers, my model 999 is very accurate.

 

[giles45shop]

I like both High Standard and Ruger :)

I've got a 22/45 Lite with a Burris FF3 on it. It's a hoot, but I'm not a particularly good shot with it. I'm generally bad with pistols regardless.

Then I shot an acquaintance's 22/45 Target and holy cow, I was making shots! That longer heavier barrel really made a difference for me.
