    Default High quality .22 pistol full size semi-auto

    I don't have any high quality .22 semi-auto pistol yet.
    Looking to order one this week.
    Which one do you recommend ( under $1000 ) ?

    I'm also looking for semi-auto .22 rifle as well.

    Do you consider a Ruger mark II (or III) high quality? Mine always goes bang and is more accurate than I am shooting offhand at 25 yards. I would often bring it out with a friend and shoot a brick on numerous occasions. Must have shot 20,000+ rounds and it is still ticking away with no problems.......

    I personally prefer the older Mark II's with a heavy barrel.

    I'm partial to the new S&W Victory which will be around $400.00 and already has a large amount of higher end match grade after market products out there.

    When you see guys like .22 plinkster making 100 yard plus trick shots with a 90 year old Colt Woodsmen or a $250.00. M&P .22lr it kind of kills the need for a $1000.00 pistol that shoots ammo that costs .06 per round.

    Just my .02

    Any Ruger Mk I or II (I have two of each with the 6.5" tapered barrel in the Mk I and the 5 7/8th bull barrels in the Mk II). The Mk Is are 55 years old, the Mk IIs, 30 plus. Cannot be beaten for swallowing anything any time. I also have a 40 yr old M41 (last of those with chamber indicators) and a CT-made High Standard. Any of these will work for you. From ~$300 for the Rugers, ~$600 for the HS and around $1K for the M41. I would recommend any of the older ones and ignore the newer ones. Extremely well made in times when "plastic = bakelite" and will effectively never wear out. Dave_n

    +1 on the Victory.

    The stock trigger is almost as nice as the Volquartsen one I put in my Mark III 22/45, the stock sights are great IMO (most of my shooting is on my Glocks with 3 dot NS) and it's simple to take down the Victory, unlike my Ruger.

    I'll be getting one for sure someday.

    Not sure if you are looking for something like this, but I had a M&P22 full size pistol and it was awesome. Reliable and very accurate out of the box.

    S&W Model 41 - FYI, use standard velocity only.

    Browning Medalist - if you look, you should be able to find a decent one for under $1,000.
    Honey, sell my guns for what they're worth and not what I told you I paid for them.
