My Stainless MKII will only fire CCI Minimags. No failures at all. Any other ammo fails at some point. It is a joy to fire though.

The picture I posted was of one I found online.

This discussion got me thinking...which version do I have? The I, II, or III?

So I went and took a picture.

Serial number ends with U6 and it is made in Belgium. I think it is a Challenger I from 1966. Anyone disagree?

In other Browning .22 semi-auto news - this was in dad's collection. Now it is in kid #1's collection:

Vintage Smith #41 &#46 are hard to beat ... & that is coming from a Colt fan.

BUT, if price & capacity are prime considerations ... has anyone played with a new Sig P322?

I don*t have a favorite 22 semi cause none I ever owned shot any ammo. Mines a S&W K22 revolver.

I've never really been into .22lrs, have owned a few over the years but nothing really exciting. My favorite is probably the one that my wife owns at this time, a Ruger MKIV (stainless with the 5 1/2" bull barrel).

Nah, .22LR suppressed is freaking sweet. It's about as loud as my pellet rifle and it's super cheap to shoot.

As for .22LR pistols I own a Ruger SR22 and finally found the FN502 last year after searching forever. I'm more partial to the FN being similar in size to my FN509C.
