I'm considering a .22lr pistol. Yes, ME! And NOT the G44

[Member 34319]

I'm not gonna lie, the idea of a .22 WMR in a 1911 chassis has me wanting to open up my wallet and yell "TAKE MY MONEY".

Thanks @Reno

My work here is done!

Looking into it. It checks a lot of boxes in my opinion.

Metal magazines, not plastic.

14+1 capacity.

Full size.

Delayed blowback, something to do with a sleeved barrel. No blown cases, hopefully...

Availability. Unknown, I've never seen one. Which is good, because it would prob come home with me.

I have a bead on one locally, but I'd rather not say where. Tomorrow is my birthday so I may actually gift myself a present!

Not a chance. Not the brand or that model. Next.

I've an 90's vintage bull barreled Ruger 22/45 that has never failed to feed, go bang or extract... It has countless rounds through it and doesn't get the greatest of care, probably detailed cleaned maybe 10 times since I bought it. Bore snake it after every range trip, that's about it. I'd highly recommend one to anyone looking for a semi-automatic .22 lr pistol.

Just picked up a GSG Firefly, formally known as a Sig Mosquito... Need time to get to the range and try it out.

The .22 TC

The .22 TCM does look rather neat-o out of a 1911 platform.

It is. High velocity, flat trajectory and low recoil. The kids like it for the huge fireball and thunderous boom.
JustSomeGal uses it quite effectively to pop jack rabbits invading her vegetable patch at ranges anywhere from 25 to 50 yards. Neat-O indeed.

I'm still waiting for a 100% reliable .22 cal semiauto handgun.

S&W 17/18, Ruger Single-Six.

Happy bday.

Check into the S&W 2206, I have the 6" barreled one and I really enjoy it. Solid steel, mags available, eats everything I've fed it without a hiccup and with a low set barrel is said to be an excellent suppressor host without changing sights.

Tried it. Wasn't that good as a pistol, marginally better as a "sub gun" with a brace.

Now that magazine, put that in something more pistol-like and we are talking. PITA to load, but it was reliable.

If Glock did something similar in the 44, people would be praising them, instead of laughing at them.

Happy Birthday Brother!
Sounds like New Years Eve will always be a party!!!

I Grouse hunt (and shoot them in the head) with a Browning Buckmark. That's my recommendation.

While not striker fired, CZ used to offer the Kadet .22LR on a CZ 75 frame (I have two of them) as a complete, factory handgun, and still offers conversion kits (essentially an upper) for many of their centerfire models, including the CZ 75B, CZ 85, P-09, Shadow 2, etc. Gives you the full size combat handgun in .22lr.

Semiauto revolver

What can I say? I've given up on that one.

Browning 1911-22 is a 3/4 sized model very nice, never had a ftf or stove pipe.
