I have a 1951 made K-22. It purely rocks!! Accurate as a laser beam. Fired my first rounds at age 4 out of my Dad's K-22 and this one popped up and I just HAD to have it. My Brother has Dad's gun.

Sure would like to handle and shoot the best 22.

In the meantime I have no complaints with these Smiths...

Just for the shear pleasure of plinking and growing up in the 50's w/ all those cowboys, a Colt Peacemaker is hard to beat.

I ended up with RJM's 34/35 last year smile

It may not be "the best" by any objective measure but all I know is that it hits a 4" plate at 25y in DA standing like you were throwing magnets at a refrigerator.

There is something about the sight radius of a 6" barrel on a TINY steel I-frame - ridiculously handy but practical field accuracy aplenty!

I had a Colt New Frontier .22lr with the 7.5" barrel with beautiful case hardening that was out-shooting any other .22lr. hand gun I had including a bull barreled Single shot Thompson contender with an adjusted super light trigger pull. It outshot S&W Model 41, Ruger Target Competition bull barrel shooters, and many other target autos.

Foolishly I traded it in for something in a bigger caliber....big mistake. I've looked and looked for a replacement and the only ones so far had been used and abused and start at $800 and on up.

I ended up getting a Ruger New Model Single Six stainless in 6.5" barrel that shoots within a whisper of the Colt. Shoots almost as good as the Colt but doesn't look and feel like the Colt. I resigned myself to the Ruger and am semi happy with the best to date substitute for the Colt.

I don't think you can beat a K22 in any version. This one hasn't been fired yet.

Colts are OK, if you can find one that isn't too expensive, or trashed.

When choosing a .22 LR handgun consider an autoloader instead for these reasons.

The autoloading pistol is easier to shoot and carry well and easier to aim well.

A autoloader can be carried in the field in my back pocket butt down, shirt out and be concealed and comfortable to carry. I carry mine chamber empty.

The autoloading 22 can be aimed with your other hand reaching under it's barrel to steady it. We can't do this with revolvers!

This is some of the dumbest schit i've ever read, even from Dumb Don, and THAT's saying something.

I suggest Don carry that 22 auto with the muzzle taped in his ear with a round in the chamber and and a stick wedged in the trigger guard

That is truly stupid. Even if what the idiot does what he says with an autoloader, the same could be done with a revolver.

DumbassDon has taken his stupidity to new "heights". Unbelievable.

I am at a loss. What do I do? I have over a dozen .22 Autoloaders. I need a drink to ponder this dilemma.

I was going to PM you in private and tell you what a dumb ass you were for posting this, but for some reason you have me on ignore. I made 137 posts since 1/10/15 I must have hurt your feelings along the way apparently. So I will just post here you are a dumb ass.

<sigh>

first, the revo can be carried with different types of ammo. Say snake shot in the first chamber, and high velocity hollow points in the rest. The auto frequently won't function correctly with the snake shot, or with subsonic loads. The revo won't care.

The revo does not litter the landscape with empties when you shoot it, which can be an issue sometimes.

I don't know of any instructor who suggests a grip as you suggest. If you want a rest under the barrel, use a fence post, a mono pod, or something similar.

And I do have three .22 autos. Neither the Browning Medalist, nor the High Standard victor are especially easy to carry. The little Ruger .22 SRP is the one exception, but it's a casual plinker, not a target gun.

Worlds best 22 revolver?

Korth. And you're in luck - there's one on gunbroker right now for the tidy sum of about 10k.

...yea it was lust at first trigger pull wasn't it.... laugh

I figured if I didn't sell it to you I simply would have disappeared...and you would have ended up with it anyway.

The S&W Model 53 .22 Jet is a one hell of a machine... But the round from a 6" revolver isn't all it's cracked up to be. Factory Jet ammo is hard to find and expensive when you do. Also the only loads now available are loaded with the Hornady .222 Jet bullets that are not as accurate as the original Remington 40 grain soft points. Velocity is only in the 1700 fps range and that is only a little faster than a .22 Magnum from a 6" barrel.

Put about 1000 rounds of Jet through mine and ended up having to find a new barrel. The forcing cone looked like a funnel and there was a loose spot in the barrel about 1" in front of the forcing cone. Jets are not only hard on the barrel but one round without hearing protection can cause permanent tinnitus...the frequency of the blast has to be experienced to be appreciated.

It is too bad Smith never made a 6" 651 .22 Magnum with an extra Long Rifle cylinder..that would have been a nice "Outdoorsman's Gun"...

I bought a Korth about 18 years ago for $1000.00. It is now worth close to $10,000.00. I wish I had been foolish more often.
