Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Ruger SR22

I've been keeping my eyes open for one of these ever since seeing all the praise here for them for the last year or so.

What's the going rate on these pistols?

I paid $375.00 at LGS.(about 4 weeks ago)


Alot on gubroker, avg 325 - 400
I figured w/ shipping ($25-$35) and $20.00 transfer fee,the LGS was a decent deal.

Thanks, Royboy. (Remember who used to call Elroy Jetson by that name? :))

I gotta get my hands on one to try it before I buy it.

My experience sounds atypical, but I'm pretty unhappy with mine.

My wife recently expressed an interest in shooting more, and after letting her handle quite a few different pistols, she decided on an SR22.

After cleaning, lubing, and giving it a once-over, we couldn't get a full mag through the thing all day, despite trying multiple types of ammo. I finally managed to wrangle up some Stingers that seemed to work ok. She was pretty disgusted at that point though and has shown zero interest in shooting it since.

I contacted Ruger and the continued use of Stingers were recommended to me, along with changing mag baseplates. Changing the baseplates didn't help and I haven't seen Stingers on shelves in a LONG time, so the Ruger is pretty useless to me right now.

Like I said, my situation seems atypical, but there are some "not great" SR22s out there.

Shame, but even Ruger makes a lemon now and then.

I had a Ruger Mk II that wouldn't make it halfway through an entire magazine without jamming. It did it with every single mag I tried. Sent it back to ruger and they replaced the entire barreled receiver free of charge.

Give Ruger a call and tell them the problem with your SR22. I�d almost bet they�ll give you a prepaid shipping label to send it back on their dime, will fix whatever is wrong and send it back to you no charge.

I paid $349...you got screwed

Mine functions flawlessly

- More accurate than me
- No mag issues whatsoever
- trigger is pretty good
- eats every type of ammo I feed it and hasnt had a single fail to feed or fail to fire
- one of my favorite guns
- best .22 I have ever had my hands on

I paid $320 at SW and love mine.

Living in No.Va. does have it's perks;
We get to pay more for lots of things.
No reason to keep all that pesky money around!

I paid $299,but...it ain't working good yet,
but I have faith....

I have one also and I like it a lot. I would really love it if I could buy ammo. for it.

Range report..mine is working better! They seem to be senstive to the mags?My LGS allowed me to swap out a couple from another gun and it's working fine.Ran a box of Mini mags without a hitch...

Update: If anyone is interested the Crimson Trace CMR-201 Universal laser fits perfectly. Usually when something is called "universal" it means it doesn't fit anything.

The holster is a "Pro Carry HD" from The Holster Store. It also fits perfectly after a few days of break-in.

I purchased one a month ago ,final got it out to shoot ,wouldn't fire ,trigger wouldn't reset,through cleaning still no good ,phone call to Ruger and shipped out Friday ,waiting for its return,very disappointed that it made it out the factory doors

Sorry to hear that & I hope Ruger makes it right. Hopefully they'll just replace it instead of dicking around & wasting time.

Reading this thread leads me to believe that Ruger hasn't been paying a whole lot of attention to quality control ,just hoping they went together ok and if not well send it back and we'll try and make it right ,I was told every pistol that leaves their factory has 2 full magazines run through it ,I told them this gun wouldn't even fire and that I didn't believe it ,he didn't argue the point but did email me the prepaid shipping label

Update,quick turn around at least ,verdict "......... Bad magazine disconnect .........so my thought is bunch of BS about every pistol has at least 2 full magazines run through it be for it leaves the factory,I will up date after shooting it

Problematic getting magazines to latch ,grip sleeve keeps sliding down ,shoots ok,once I really wring it out I'll fill everyone in

Just curious if you've had any issues with your laser not holding zero,and how much did you pay for it ,if you don't mind my asking ?
