    Default Anyone have a .22LR handgun?

    I'm only 18, so can't purchase from an FFL yet.. but I'd love to hear any members input on good .22LR handguns.

    I know the Ruger Mark II/III and S&W 22A are great target 22's, but I prefer the styling of the S&W M&P22 and the Ruger SR-22. Any input on these two handguns?

    MKII/III/45 are all beauties. And highly customizable.

    Buckmarks rule

    Surprisingly Walthers .22's are some amazingly fun guns

    And I hear the mosquito is nice too, just not my grip type.

    I've got an M&P22 that I use to supplement my training with my M&P9.

    It's reliable, fun to shoot and has acceptable accuracy for what I'm doing with it which is shooting an IDPA target at 7-20 yards. There are much better options if you want a truly accurate 22 handgun.

    Walther P22 owner. Really fun little .22. SIL got one for Christmas because she had so much fun with it.

    Hope to some day get a suppressor for it.

    I usually take the P22 to the range since it extends my sessions without breaking the bank.

    I've put over 2,000 rounds through my Walther P22 without a single failure. I have taught 3 different women who were scared of guns with it. Everyone that shoots it, says its a fun little gun, and I have to remind them ITS NOT A TOY, even though it feels like it. Great weapon, only downfall are the 10 round mags.

    Don't forget about the conversion kit options. Most .22's don't fit my hands very well so I got the conversion for my Sig 226. The downside is that they all seem to have their little quirks but nothing you won't be able to live with.
