.22lr Pistol Opinions

Get a larger suppressor like a 9mm and you can run it on this as well as up to 9mm 1/28 thread. The same thread pitch as for the AR flash suppressor so when shooting a drop in .22 LR kit or a dedicated AR .22 LR upper you can muzzle it with your 9mm muffler.

We shot one a few months ago and ran bulk pack Federal H.V. and I think some Winchester H.V. without issues. We shot some Federal standard velocity too. All shot subsonic through the short barrel with a 9mm suppressor attached.

If you get down to Stockbridge, I could swap you a bulk pack of Winchester HP H.V. or two for the Golden bullet HP's if you have bulk packs. I have several guns that run them well enough.
I appreciate that! Ill keep that in mind in case I get down that way. Sucks Ive been buying up .22 to play with and of course I get this Ruger and the freaking hollow point tip gets stuck on the feedramp like crazy! CCI's ran a lot better though.
 
Just another note with larger suppressors, the Ruger barrel being larger diameter and the sights sitting a tad higher allowed full use of the factory sights. Others not typically as they ride a bit too low. However a bit of sight guesstimation and most can put lead on skin in a backyard with a fair measure of regularity.


Most of the adapters for Umarex pistols (S&W, Walther, Colt, Sig etc.) are 1/28" pitch as well.

I have a stainless MKII 6 7/8 slab side that I will not part with. I had a Buckmark but the grip and slide cover screws kept coming loose even with fingernail polish aplied as a thread locker. I was told by several people who owned a Buckmark that the screws would come loose while shooting but I had to find out for myself.

I also had a GSG 1911/22 that was nice but not nearly as acurate as the Rugr or Buckmark so I sold it. I have fired the Sig an M&P .22's and the same thing, not as accurate as the Ruger or Buckmark.

My Ruger MKII slab side is a heavy gun. Like most Rugers they are over built but last a life time.

Weird. Never had that problem. I would regularly go to the range and put 300-400rds (back when 22lr was on the shelf) and never had that happen.
 
I'm probably a loner here but I actually prefer my Beretta NEOS over the MKII and MKIII I had. Easier to clean, trigger is about equally crappy, and I'm much more accurate with it. It's a bit heavier but the rail on the top make scope mounting a cinch. I carry mine in the field if I'm not feeling like carrying my single six, and I haven't had any problems yet with ammo (I use mostly Federal, Winchester subs, and CCI Mini-Mags although if someone gives me ammo I run that too).
 
I have a Walther P22 but it has been a little finicky about ammo. It's a great gun though. Looks and feels great but with the ammo shortage I would probably go with something else since the P22's preferred ammo is CCI Mini Mags.

I just picked up the Walther after leaving it with Deaton's Gun Shop in Loganville. They did some polishing on the rails and feed ramp for me and said it does pretty well now with a lot of different ammo when they tested about 100 rounds. That is great group of guys to deal with if your ever in Loganville.
