lfine Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Have a K22 Masterpiece that's fun but have been thinking of getting something I can use for fun at the range, first shooting for newbies, and for eventual use with a suppressor, so I would want a threaded barrel . Love my Shadow 2 and thinking of getting the Kadet kit (any opinions?) but other than that, really don't need to stick with any particular brand. So what would you recommend for fun? Victory? Mark IV? Buckmark? Some other 22 semi? Thanks for any bits of advice you want to share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Owned Rugers 1,11,111 all have been great guns that ran almost any 22 ammo. Currently shooting the Buckmark camper (cheapest in the Line) just so I have a 22 semi-auto ( gave the mklll to my niece ) It's been a great gun also, as long as I keep my thumb off the slide , seems to feed almost anything also. So which ever you like the looks of more. Browning has a bunch of threaded bbl models currently. i'm Sure Ruger does also. Enjoy the hint for your new shooter!!!

Hi-Power Jack Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 When I was in the market for a .22, I looked at (and hefted) both Ruger and Browning and I had a strong personal preference for the Browning. I'd go heft them before you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbu Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Rugar mk 4 will be easiest to break down and will have the most support in aftermarket. Buckmark is nice as is the sw victory. Ive shot the above and all are accurate as heck. Taurus is supposed to have a new one tx22.never seen it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfine Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 I hefted them all and frankly would be ok with any. Liked the Buckmark but seems to be a pain to clean compared to Ruger and SW. Of those two, I slightly preferred the Ruger - and my past CS experiences with them (all good). Glad to hear some real-world experience too - and to hear what obvious option I might not be thinking of if anyone has any. Thanks. BTW, is there any reason, at this point, to buy an older Ruger seeing as their cleaning is so painful in comparison to the new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaminyz Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 SW Victory.I love mine, runs everything with no hiccups so far. Check out Tandemkross, they make lots of good upgrades for the SW and Ruger 22’sSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absocold Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 If it's a gun to be used as a newbie trainer, you need one with an ambi safety for the occasional lefty. From what's available with ambi and threaded, I would choose either the Ruger Mk4 22/45 (Lite or Tactical) or the S&W M&P 22 Compact (not the full size, many reported quality control issues).

bigshrek Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Ruger's are the true pain to clean. Although I hear once you get used to it, it ain't so bad Hi Standard (the originals made in Connecticut) are wonderfully fun pistols and quite a few had threaded barrel options. Talk about easy to clean! Some also came with their own intergral supressor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppswed Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 If you want some that looks more like an ordinary service pistol you could check out the Grand Power line of .22s. They have several different options, and some of them come with the barrel threaded already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
