torn between different .22lr pistols, help me decide

[FAQMAT]

I have a 22/45 mkIII. This thing is very accurate, will take virtually any brand of ammo and is reliable as f##k.

I've been down this road. Owned both Brands. Went back to Ruger MKIII. IMO Ruger shoots better, made better(real steel), will outlast you....

 

[smokeater40]

You WILL buy more than one. Hold them, love them, shoot them.

If you are considering the 1911 style ( like the GSG ) I urge you to look at the Browning 1911 . Every time I'm out with mine , I realize I have a goofy smile on my face . It's a hoot to shoot , very accurate , and extremely well built IMO . I sure love it .

^^^This. My Browning 1911-22 even cycles on subsonic ammo.

I own a ruger MKIII and would never sell it because it's dead on accurate, last long and eats up anything.

Fun factor of the Ruger is meh, but I`m starting to look for a 2nd pistol for that. If that Bersa Thunder .22lr had a shorter barrel, I'd be all over it.

thanks for all the suggestions guys... decision is not getting easier... but im sure i would be satisfied with any pistols in the thread

just to make my choice harder now... i found a mark 3 hunter stainless at around 575$ tx in shipped ... that thing look good...

 

[Dr.Islay]

I went Sig/GSG and haven't been disappointed. Fun gun, accurate enough and the same controls as my full size 1911. win win

Where did you find these prices?

Mk III Target

Same as I have, the Target Hunter, extra $ is worthed.

I've put a right handed Hogue grip on it (rubber), with finger grooves

thanks for all the suggestions guys... decision is not getting easier... but im sure i would be satisfied with any pistols in the thread

That piece is a beauty. Fluted barrels are one "practi-cool" option.

 

[Doc Rainbow]

Congrats. Looks to be the best of your listed options. Like the barrel!

Anyone know where holsters for these Ruger Hunters can be found?

 

[lone ranger]

Add the Browning buck mark lite in your list
I had a 22/45 and switched over to the browning. I'm very happy with it

YUP !! I agree.

Ruger themselves. They will ship to Canada.

Go to rugers site and follow the shop ruger link.

Yes I did.

After talking with you earlier Friday, I thought about it throughout the day. Talked myself right into it. It's a pistol that's been on my shopping list for some time now, and the price sealed the deal.

Thanks again - I owe you a beverage.
