Recommendation For .22LR Handgun

[davek]

I like the Buckmark I have better than the Ruger I used to have.
But I have to say the Advantage Arms .22 conversion I had for a Glock 17 was also great.

There are certainly a number of choices, but I am very happy with my Beretta U22 Neos. Especially for the money.

I did an experiment, or maybe it was just laziness, but I wanted to see how long the Neos would run before a FTF or FTE. I estimate around 2500 rounds before I had a FTE.

I have a nice smith and Wesson victory I might let go. Keyword might. Bunch of parts with it, altamont rosewood grips. I’m considering if I wanna sell it for a Ruger MKIV or keep it and just buy the Ruger. I want the longer barrel.

I personally like the victories. They’re easy to take apart, you can swap the barrel out without the headaches of going through an FFL (unlike the Ruger), and it’s a solid pistol overall. Been very reliable and reasonably accurate (that’s on me). The downside to the victory is that it definitely isn’t as attractive, and the barrel options are limited. Last I checked you can get 2 aftermarket options. They ain’t cheap either.

Shot several different ones over the years but ended up with these.I shoot 22 a bunch and mostly suppressed these are my favorites.
Buckmark Field Target
Ruger Mark IV Target
Ruger Single six revolver
Smith 622 and 2206

After shooting lots of .22 handgun steel challenge matches, two pistols come to the front of the pack for reliability. It's probably a thin tie between the Ruger Mark series, and the buckmark with Ruger taking that thin edge.

What about the Browning Baby 1911?

I only have two 22 pistols that have never failed me.
A S&W 63 no dash and a Glock 44.
If I were you I'd wait a few more weeks and get an FN 502.

Been happy with all my Browning BuckMarks. G’kids have done their best to wear them out. So far nope.

This^^^. I like my so much that I purchased a second one for a backup in case the original ever fails. I’m guessing my original BuckMark has 15k plus rounds through it; mostly Federal bulk pack ammo.

I like the little Ruger LCP II .22lr.

I am a recent new owner of a FN-509. It's beside the bed as we speak with a WML and integral laser. Very fine firearm.
I'm a Ruger Mark series owner having every model since they were put on the market, but I'd sure like a look and a range day with that 502 when it comes out.
