I have SIG 322 which I like a lot but it’s gigantic. I’m looking for something about the size of a Glock 43.
Something to take with me when I take the dogs for a walk and it’s not too difficult to conceal.
Any recommendations?

My two suggestions:
Ruger SR-22, mine has Glock reliability.
Keltec P-17, not normally a K fan but the current ones are very reliable, under $200!

I wish Glock made a 43-sized 22 LR, or wish someone made a Glock 43 22 LR conversion.

Interesting question.
My answer to date has been Elsie Peeto.
I’m also fond of the 8 shot 3” S&W 317 revolver. Hi Viz front sight helps aging eyes.
But always eager for new ways to skin that cat.

Just remembered I still have my daughter's Ruger SR-22 in the safe. Fits in all my Glock 43 holsters, as well. First round pull is atrocious (DA/SA), but 100% reliable if I recall.
Thanks to all for input!

The SR22 is sorta a semi-auto Kit Gun. Mine is surprisingly accurate and very reliable.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The Taurus is TX-22 is allegedly pretty good, rare for a Taurus, and holds like 15-16 rounds. The PT22 OTOH, made Honest Outlaw’s Worst 5 list.
Had a Bobcat, but found it underwhelming, and it cut my hand when shooting right-handed. The LCP2 in my pocket is a good one now after I futzed over it, finally grinding off the empty mag tab. Now it works perfectly. It very nearly went for a swim in the Shenandoah before I got it fixed.
What fresh Hell is this?

Ditto on the Ruger SR22 - reliable and accurate, the DA/SA is a nice feature. SA trigger pull on mine was a bit heavy but not a deal breaker. Now, you could try to find one of these and go in style...  Beretta Cheetah .22 ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/medium/222698.jpg)

David Walter: Smith & Wesson Model 63 (2" if you can find one!).
Best of luck in choosing the best for you.

S&W 617 3"(for the adjustable sights) and CT laser grip. Generally in a GFI Kenai holster. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/924/uvzLCD.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/923/Vyjc8b.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/922/n1iLTw.jpg) Just sayin'....................

I've wanted one of those 617's for years but never acted on it; the 22/45 Lite has held my attention.
The Kenai holster is the best tip going.

I've got one of the Taurus tx22s it's surprisingly accurate , and mine so far has been 100% reliable.. imagine it shot 3 or 400 rounds.. not a great deal but enough to get the idea
