Recommendation For .22LR Handgun

[gmar]

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.

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.

H&H had one for sale a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks! I'd like to put some rounds down range with it.

I just remembered I have a S&W 617 that is about as close to a dream to shoot as you can get.

Hard to beat a Ruger Mark series.

Second that.

Thank you everyone. I started out leaning toward the MK-IV and the majority of you seem to support that choice. I’ll probably find one next week. Going away for the weekend, so that will give me enough time to talk myself out of it!

Thanks again for all the good input.

I fifth or sixth (or whatever it is now) the Browning Buckmark. I have had a few of the Rugers over the years, including a newer Mark IV 22/45 this past year, but my Browning is still at the top of the list. The Ruger mags always seemed to have issues in colder weather (for me at least). The fit, feel, and function of the Buckmark are just better in my book. Really fantastic barrels and trigger pulls, and I prefer the design of their safety levers over the Ruger. The Rugers are good guns, but the Brownings are just a step above in my opinion.

There have been some great suggestions here. Another one to consider for a plinker is the M&P 22 Compact.

Taurus (yeah I know) makes the TX22. Not sure what more one could ask of a pistol- 17 round capacity, threaded barrel, relible as the sunrise.
