Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 22's Do you use them??

This. The latest an early Ruger 22/45 Lite. Crazy accurate.

Screw bfr and doofus. Do it for YOU.....

I have one 22LR revolver that I use about the same amount as my other hand guns, and a 22LR bolt action that I rarely use. Those are the only 22LR I own. Time is limited, and usually there is something other than 22LR that has my interest.

I shoot a .22 pistol nearly every time I shoot. I also use them for bowling pin tops. I favor the Ruger MK II. I have a few of them, but the 5.5" Olympic model is my current favorite.

For no particular reason, here is our range set for a pin top competition. Typically, if you can clear the table in about 3.5 seconds or slightly faster, you'll be ahead of your opponent. When two fast shooters go head to head, typically one of them will try to go TOO fast and will only end up making a mess of his table--and 3.5 seconds will still be fast enough to win.

One of my favorite cartridges....shoot them frequently!

I am down to a single .22LR handgun. Model 63 S&W, 4 inch barrel. I shoot it often, and it's my preferred carry gun when hiking Florida swamps.

Sweet!

Pretty rare for me to go shooting without some time on a .22lr. I don't have multiples of any model, but I have a fairly wide variety. Killed some sagerats with the CZ 452 just a few days ago.

The rimfire practice hasn't hurt my shooting with the bigger stuff.

I picked up a S&W Victory a few weeks ago, and realy like it! it shoots point aim, my club has a bunch of small steel targets pigs, rams Turkeys, had a ball the other day knocking them down!

I shoot a brick or two every year.

Shoot a couple three mags of 36gr hp CCI's through Wifes Walther 22LR couch gun a few times a year, clean, lightly oil, wipe down and back under the armrest it goes.

Those are really nice. I shoot mark 2 also on a regular basis. Mine have round barrels instead of flat.
I’m also fond of my 41. Hasbeen

Caught a very nice Model 63 with box on floridaguntrader last weekend. It got away from me. Sold at Lakeland gun show for full asking price.

The 657 4" .41 mag from the same owner, however, did not.

I’d forgotten just how much I loved shooting .22 until my boys became of shooting age. Hella fun !


And besides the neighbors are less rattled when I kill squirrels here at home with a .22 instead of a 7mm-08 or a .338 🤷🏻‍♂️

My favorite barrel profile , and a shooter

I have a couple Ruger .22s .. a 5.5" barreled blued Mk III target and a Single Six hunter. I don't shoot them all that much. Too many other guns, not enough opportunity to shoot. I would not feel right not having them, however.

Wow. That MK I is in beautiful shape. Don't see them like that very often here.

Sure do. Would never be without at least a couple of them.

It’s had the crap shot out of it , just maintained well

I have a few, but my favorite is the Ruger SR22.
Been shooting it for about 8 years, find no faults.
