RE: Need Recommendation on 22 Pistol
I' ve got a 6" bbl stainless Ruger MKII, absolutely love it. It' s really accurate as far as pistols go, they offer it in a target and heavy bbl model that are even moreso, but for what I need mine for, mine' s more than accurate enough. I paid $50 for mine, in near new condition, I bought it from a buddy of mine got in BIG trouble with his wife for bringing home a new gun, so she said he had to get rid of one to keep it, so he just sold me one of his .22 pistols to appease the little woman (who spoke loudly and carried a bigger stick). I' ve only had mine jam once, and that was when I stuck it into a hole we had ran a coon into in a chimney and the bolt hit the bottom of the hole so it didn' t cycle fully, cleared in an instant, and like I said, that' s been the only hiccup.
Just remember though, pistols of any kind are loud, wear plugs or muffs at least even with just a .22lr.
