I have had a couple of handguns over the past few years but didn't shoot them much so I sold them. I've had a Buck Mark, a High Standard Citation, and a Belgian Challenger, and while I liked them I always seemed more inclined to take my small bore rifles to the range for target shooting at 50+ yards.

I will be retiring later this year and will have more time for shooting. I plan to join a second local club that has an indoor 25 yard range and this will give me opportunity to shoot during the winter (my current club range is inaccessible during the snowy months as it is down a 3 mile unplowed road). A 25 yard range is probably more suited for handgun shooting so I'm thinking I should get a good .22LR pistol (for now) for target shooting. I want something that will not leave me thinking that I should have spent just a little more money, something with a decent trigger, something that will be more accurate than I could hope to be in the near future.

I understand that the Smith and Wesson Model 41 is considered a good target pistol. If not a S&W Model 41, what other .22LR pistols should I consider?
 
Mine won't be sold. There are several other guns that surpass the performance of the 41 but none that are close in price and with easy access to parts. I assume you're looking used. For the price of the new ones I would certainly spend the extra and get a Walther GSP.
 
My Ruger MKIII Hunter with all Volquatrsen internals is a laser beam. You'll have a 1.5# crisp trigger, a plethora of aftermarket parts opportunities, and will cost you $500 less than the 41. One just came up for a great deal on the EE. I've read enough Smith 41 'picky' threads to make me not want to rush into adding one into my safe.

And then a Pardini SP22

Then I should be done? I hope.

100% stock. Ruger made few of these gems. They were designed for IMHSA. All my Silhouette pistols are stock :)


i was not into guns during the heyday of pistol silhouette. but there was a major competitin between Anschutz, Browning, Ruger, Thompson to see who could build the best .22 handgun to shoot with, that did not break ''factory stock'' rules
