Another New Ruger 22 Pistolero!

I guess I'm just a Mark II kind of guy; that thing is ugly as a hat full of bungholes. It may turn out to be a nice shooter, but too much millwork and too busy looking to me. The old Mark II is accurate and elegant - especially the bull barrels. I'd rather look for another one of those.

I will have a shipment of these in today. OSA price on these will be $299.99 plus tax. If you want one let me know!!! I could only get three of them.

Ditto, I am with you, but I would not say that the SR22 is exactly ugly. Maybe the looks and feel of the SR22 pistol will bring some more/new people into the shooting sports and that is what I am hoping for.

P.S. One feature of the SR22 that does appeal to me is the exposed hammer.

Sure, the SR-22 pistol doesn't have the gorgeous, Luger-inspired lines of the Mk I, II & III. And, it will likely not be as accurate. But, I'll wager it's a hell of a lot easier to disassemble and reassemble than any of the Marks.

Gunblast's Jeff Quinn calls the SR-22 pistol a "keeper". He said it was NOT ammo sensitive as it fired 19 different types of 22LR ammo with zero problems. (Thanks for the link Ruger GR8)

SoonerStatePawn has them for $300! That's hard to beat for cheap plinking fun.

I'm always in favor of new guns being introduced into the consumer marketplace. Options are a good thing. If it helps introduce more people to guns, that's a great thing. And if it ends up in the hands of an arthritic, recoil-sensitive retiree and helps him or her defend themselves from a crackhead scumbag, that's a great thing too. Sure beats swinging a cane and dialing 911 so the cops know where to find your body.

I'm not saying I wouldn't take one, but I'd just prefer the Mark II. Like the size of that new Ruger, though, and there's nothing wrong with options. Some are just better looking than others.

Looks like a knock-off of the P22 too much for me just yet. I'll holdback...ya'll go get 'em.

I would like to shoot it a couple hundred rounds.
