Any good micro sixe 22lr pistols out there? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

A buddy told me he was in the market for a good quality tiny 22 pistol for packing during dirt bike riding. Just for plinking and varmint fun, not 2 legged protection. I tried telling him about the LCP/Kel-Tec, but he wants the 22 for those really scary squirrels and chipmunks. I'm not aware of any good micro 22's out there. Surely there are some.

if you can find one the lorcin .22 isn't a horrible little gun. Loud as hell and picky about ammo. but its definately small

Perhaps something like this:

North American Arms

I like the Beretta Bobcat, nice little 22 auto.

Ruger Bearcat, while not quite as small as those pocket autos mentioned, it is way more accurate.

I second the Beretta 950BS (if you
can find one) or the Mod 21 which is
DA/SA.

Also suggest you give consideration
to the Phoenix HP22. They sell a short
barreled model for pocket carry and also
a longer barrel for target practice and
plinking. There is also a kit, which includes
both barrels. Should be priced at $150 or
so total.

Another voice for the Bearcat. Not much longer than my hand, it's about the most useful gun I own. I put it on when I put my pants on the morning, and I take it off when I go to bed. It's only replaced when I "go to town" with something more suitable for "serious social situations." It's not perfect for anything, but it's "good enough" for most everything.

Here it is beside a Ruger Single Six (most everybody knows how big a Single Six is). Both guns are in COWS holsters available throught the Ruger Website for about $45.00 shipping included.

And without the leather.

They're not cheap, but they will literally outlast you, your kids, and your grandkids.
