Help me find a .22 Pistol
Hey Folks,
I'm in the market for a new .22 pistol. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would save me a lot of google work.
Here are the specs below I'm looking for right out of the box. Thanks!
MUST-Have Features:
1. Fixed barrel, 3.25" or longer.
2. Threaded Barrel
3. DA/SA
4. Adjustable sights
5. Not a shit brand (Hi-point, Lorcin, SCCY, etc.)
Gravy:
1. Optics-ready
2. Suppressor-height sights
3. 15rd mag or more
4. Decocker

Re: Help me find a .22 Pistol
Sig P322 checks all these boxes and probably more. Mine has run great both suppressed and unsuppressed. Fun little gun.

Re: Help me find a .22 Pistol
Browning has a lot of different versions of the Buckmark. I've got a few different 22 handguns and the Buckmarks are pretty nice to shoot. There are also lots of aftermarket parts for them.
Your web muscles do not frighten me.

I might be able to help you with that and forgot to say that in my answer to your PM.

Re: Help me find a .22 Pistol
the gravy really narrows it down to practically none with the decocker etc (maybe a 92 decocker 22lr?)
keltec p17 is fixed barrel and actually runs great - and mags are very cheap
tx22 compact is great since you can put a full-size target upper on it and use fullsize tx22 mags and essentially get 2 versions of the gun for the price/ transfer of one
no experience with the sig BUT IMO that one will only make sense if they release a compact version with thinner grip than tx22c (the grip is way too thick for a compact!)
i know you didnt ask but the ultimate 22 IMO would be a ruger MAX version of the lcpII 22lr - one with fiber optic sights and a double-stacked mag with 15+ capacity but same footprint-ish as lcpII, with threaded barrel option.
that would be a great pocket carry/ plinker/ all-around gun.
the only thing better than that would be ruger mark IV (which runs like sewing machine) where someone or ruger DEVELOPS AN AFTERMARKET GRIP MODULE THAT TAKES A HIGH CAP MAG LIKE TX22 or KELTEC P17 MAG
(the grip module or 'lower' is not the serialized part so I honestly think this can be done and could be sold on aftermarket with no FFL requirement)

Re: Help me find a .22 Pistol
I'm a huge fan of the RUGER MARK IV 22/45 LITE 22 LR. Bought one for the rental range then gave one to my daughter for her to practice shooting. Designed to be suppressed. I use a TBAC Takedown 22 on it.

Re: Help me find a .22 Pistol
The DA/SA is the real curveball spec, almost all modern semi auto .22s are SAO (even if they don*t have external hammer).
I think the only things that come close to your must haves are the Walther P22 or the Beretta M9 .22(I don*t know the exact model). However I don*t think either can take optics.
My Sig P322 has worked well for me. I have somewhere in the ball park of 800 rounds through mine, completely flawless except the few rounds that refused to go off (I usually have 2-3 other .22s with me that I*ll try the rounds in).
