Ruger SR22?

[Dead-OnSniperService]

I dont personally own one but a good friend and range buddy has put over 5k rounds thru his of different kinds of cheap bulk with no.problems. Ive shot id say around 200 rounds thru it myself. It did experiance a "break in" period the first 100 rounds or so but thats to be expected IMO. I wilk own one myself in the near future.

Hey Coach- I'm back from another long break so I don't know if you're still looking at these, but I'm still shooting mine and have yet to have a single misfire. I'm nowhere near 5k rounds but I've put at least 1k through it. I would be interested to see it side by side with the redesigned P22, but it definitely beats the original P22. For the price I can't recommend this one highly enough.

See, I told you it was a keeper.

I don't own one but by all accounts pretty good pistol, I'm looking seriously at the M&P 22 for the boys, I have a markII but with the bull barrel and big Volquartsen target grips, it's not for the kids.
M&P 22 is around 300 bucks, 12rnd mag.

Thinking of getting one of these for the wife instead of a walther. Wondering what people are thinking of them.

Mine runs like a Swiss watch with just about anything I've fed it (except Colibri rounds, they won't cycle any semi-auto). After installing the Twin Tech threaded barrel, it still continues to run great and has made an outstanding suppressor host.

Accuracy out of such a small pistol is amazing, and maintenance is a breeze.

Between the SR22 and the M&P .22, it's a close thing as to which has been better, but the M&P does have the advantage of being already threaded from the factory, if that is a consideration. Of all the new model .22 handguns brought out in the last couple of years, those two are by far the hands down winners, even better than the GSG/Sig 1911-22's, since there is no cast zinc parts in either of them. IMHO, the P22's and Mosquitos seriously pale by comparison, even if they run well out of the box.

Most of you know of my experience with the Mosquito I won in the raffle a couple of years ago, and all the work it took to get it to function worth a damn.

I'm a huge rimfire fan and have tried nearly all of the recent crop, save for the P22, which I shied away from after the Mosquito debacle.

As a plinker, a teaching tool, or even a close range hunting piece, the SR22 & the M&P.22 are certainly at the top of thier class. Will they ever match the Ruger MK II's, MK III's, S&W 41's, or Browning Buckmarks as the the best target .22's? I sincerely doubt it, but as they establish themselves in their own niche, they will be a tough act to follow.

My .02 worth, for what it's worth.

I really like the last statement about mark iii's. They do seem to still reign supreme and the newer .22 pistols fill the niche void of training with .22 ammo on a similar functioning pistol as their CCDW pistols. I say get them all!

After reading numerous reviews on the walther vs sr i guess it will be the sr for her. Gonna head to Sherwoods and put it on lay away this week.
