Looking for the best NON-RUGER rimfire pistol

You have to define your intended type of shooting.

Without knowing your intentions, Nutz are left to assume. See where that takes us? We've got Olympic rapid fire pistols, NRA slow fire revolvers, and defensive-oriented trainers all mixed in a sick and silly medley.

P.S.: At least nobody said "the 22-A".
 
I have a CZ75 Kadet. It's solid and eats everything I put into it, and if it misfires I just squeeze it again and they usually go off. The narrow slide is the only drawback but that's trivial really.

S&W Model 41 is a nice gun that is very accurate, but pricey if you're buying new.

The Sig P226 Classic .22 is one I would like to try.

Not a good one I hear. Ok as a plinker though.

What and where did you hear this.
I'm pretty sure I have looked at all the threads about the neos and nothing terrible is stated.
It is relatively inexpensive compared to other name brands.
They look odd though, it may not fulfill the “look” as required by OP, but there is really nothing wrong with this pistol.
 
I just replaced my ruger 22/45 with a CZ kadet kit, and there is no comparison, the kadet is one hell of a good piece of gear. Check it out
 
In .22 LR, it's the best non-Ruger ;) (a Colt, no less :p).......:D.......:

I have one of these and really like it.

P229-22LR-detail-L.jpg

SIG SAUER's new Classic centerfire pistols new .22 LR Rimfire models. The same P220®, P226®, and P229® that have been used by civilian, law enforcement, and military personnel the world over, can now have these same models factory built in .22LR. The SIG SAUER® Classic .22’s are built on the same frame as their centerfire counterparts.

All three Classic .22’s feature the same SIG SAUER Four-Point safety system which employs a decocking lever, a patented automatic firing pin safety block, a safety intercept notch, and a trigger bar disconector. The new machined slides also feature a front sight adjustable for drift and a rear sight adjustable for both windage and elevation.

With the purchase of a new SIG SAUER Classic .22 shooters can now enjoy hours of serious training at the range for a fraction of what they would pay practicing with full recoil centerfire rounds.

SIG SAUER Classic .22’s are shipped in a lockable case with one 10-round magazine. The MSRP for the Classic P220, P226 and P229 is $608.00.

Be sure to check out the new SIG SAUER X-CHANGE Kit™ is the perfect accessory for your SIG SAUER Classic .22 rimfire pistols. Now shooters can add SIG SAUER centerfire performance with just the change out of the slide assembly, barrel, recoil system, and magazine to any of the standard production pistol calibers; 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357SIG. Exchanging components does not alter the reliability or accuracy of either assembly.

Owning a SIG SAUER Classic .22 and a centerfire X-CHANGE Kit provides the added benefit of owning two pistols in a single premium package. More shooting at a lower cost with the full size SIG SAUER pistol you’re accustomed to; the SIG SAUER Classic .22 caliber pistols that now include the option for centerfire performance with a SIG SAUER X-CHANGE Kit.

You want THE .22 pistol ... take the CZ 75 Kadet

for me, this is one of the most reliable .22 pistol ;)
good looking, eat everything, accurate, well made, strong (all metal) and full size
good price for what you get

this is mine :

I had a chance to shoot the Kadet last week at the range.

It really is an awsome pistol!

A bit pricey at $1K IMO but it may actually be worth it....

I pay mine 700 $ + tax = 800 $ about two years ago

did the price increase so much ??
 
The one I shot last week was about 2 weeks old. The guy who owns it said He paid just over a grand including shipping.

So I guess prices are up a bit...... On the other hand he may have gotten hosed!

Ruel, will your Kadet accept a 9mm slide? or would a guy be better off buying a 75 in 9mm or .40 and then getting the Kadet kit?

yes, maybe it's better to get the CZ 75 9mm and after get the Kadet kit

because the 9mm slide doesn't fit on a Kadet frame, you're right

in my situation, I bought the Kadet (complete pistol) and I also bought the CZ 75 9mm, it was a personal choice (yes, it cost me more $$$)


but like you said, buy a CZ 75 (9mm or .40) and get the Kadet kit, this is a really good way to have two good pistols in one

this way is also less expensive ;)
