I have only one 22 autopistol and its so good, I don't ever plan on replacing it. Ruger 22/45 with a 5.5" target barrel. For 10 years it has been stellar and a very good gun.

Some day, I'd love to get a single action 22 revolver, probably a Ruger Single Six (because the Colts are just too darned expensive) but until that day, the Ruger 22/45 will still work well for me.

I vote Ruger 22/45.

price?

**Cannibul** · 03-31-2008, 08:20 AM

The 22/45 series with the polymer frames are under $300. The regular MK III with the metal frames are a bit over $300.

That being said you can normally pick up a good used Ruger MK II for under $300.

I have a Walther P22, I love it, but if I had it to do over again I would have got the Sig Mosquito.

I got my new 22/45 for $250 + tax.

P22 bought it for the wife but she still has yet to shoot it........ive probably shot 5,000 rounds through it and the only problems i have ever had are with the federal 50 round blue box (they wouldn't cycle) very good gun.......i heard the sig mosquitos are pretty ****ty

I am going to pick up a Buck Mark Camper. I have yet to talk to anyone who has one that does not love shooting it.

I paid about $280 last fall for a new Buckmark Camper URX stainless 5.5" bull barrel w/ fiber front sight.
Love that pistol

I have a Ruger MKIII with a MKII trigger group in it... the best of both worlds! That being said, any gun designed by John Browning is worth owning. Those polymer buckmarks are pretty inexpensive as well, IIRC.

If you're planning on shooting a lot, I'd take mag price into account too. I don't know what the buckmark mags run, but the ruger ones are about $15/pop. I like to have 10 or so if I'm going to shoot the gun a lot.
