Real .22 Pistol

[Bush pilot]

Hey all I am looking for a "real" .22 pistol. By that I would like to find somthing that is exactly or as close as possible to a center fire pistol but chambered in .22lr. From what I can see most of the .22's out there are very different from the centerfire ones. I would like to get somthing close to what one would expect as a duty pistol as a police officer. Would it be worth getting a 1911 and a 22lr kit? I have yet to hear anything good about them.

I've gone the 1911/conversion route. I like it...though I don't really use the conversion kit much...feels wrong without recoil...

Ruger 22/45. Mimics the feel and controls of a 1911. Reasonably accurate, fun as hell to shoot and you can load a mag faster than you can empty one if you get one of those nifty mag loaders that went up for sale here a while back. Oh and it's cheap too: $309.00 at Wholesale Sports.

A P22 is the same as the P99 in size, is it not?

no a P22 is physically smaller (narrower too) than a P99

no a P22 is physically smaller (narrower too) than a P99

But still as reliable

The P22 is about 3/4 the size of a P99

Or one of the .22 conversions for the HiPower. One gun, two calibres.

CZ 75 Cadet, I will second that. My favorite 22 handgun to shoot. Regards, Richard

I like the browning buckmarks plus, similar grip and mag release as my 1911, accurate, easier to reload than a ruger, and a hell of a lot of fun to shoot.
