Feel free to add pics of your .22 pistols to turn this into a Sat night gun p*rn thread.

I am afraid my 22 single six is not photo worthy. It looks like a rag doll from all the rounds put through it.

Nice pistol, good shooting. I always found the 45 grip to my liking.

I’ve got one of those in stainless-love it...

I think there are better .22 autos (for instance the Colt Woodsman) than the various models of the Ruger but you will never go wrong choosing one.

I haven't tried the 22/45 but the others including a very early standard model have always been accurate, in fact more so than the author's gun. Of course that may just be what he describes as aging eyes.

Little off topic, but not much. My Rem 700 with SURPLUS ammo @ 200 yds!

Nice gun pr&n.

I love the way the Rugers shoot but they're not easy to disassemble and clean.

[Klondike]

Check out something like the EYEPAL or MERIT OPTICAL Attachment on the net. Simple plastic piece that has a small hole that fits on your safety glasses. Keeps the front sight i and target both in focus.
Helps us older shooters.

Ya think the FBI, NSA, CIA, Homeland Security, Postal Service LE will be monitoring this thread?

We’ve had a problem with Federal ammo stove-piping in my kids’ .22LR semi-auto rifles. Pretty much stick to Remington these days.

As far as the difficult to disassemble, my son’s Savage Model 64 is a major PITA. There is no “field striping” it. Requires a vise, wrench, allen wrench, and screwdrivers to do the job. A good cleaning takes more than an hour.

I love my Ruger MkIII 22/45, it’s fun to shoot and has saved me a fortune on ammo.

You will save a lot of time (and your thumbs) if you spend $25 on one of these (it looks weird, but works great).

You can find me shooting my Ruger 22/45 at the NRA range as well - either Monday or Friday when the doors open at 10 AM. (Not twice a week - depends on what else is going on here whether we go Monday AM or Friday AM.) Usually with my wife who shoots a Beretta .22 Neos.

My Ruger 22/45 is not too picky about ammunition. It generally is fed Wal*Mart 550 round “value packs” of Remington. My wife’s Neos, on the other hand, isn’t so tolerant.

You’ll like the 22/45.

I have Browning Buckmark that looks similiar. Nice accurate little plinking pistol.

[NVDave]

The Ruger MkII series of pistols has always been a pain to field strip. There are a couple of techniques to make it easier putting it back together, but on the whole, it isn’t a pleasant piece to clean.

When you’re out and about looking at used guns, try to find a S&W Model 41. They’re pud-easy to clean; pull down on the trigger guard, tip off the barrel and clean. Put barrel back on frame/receiver, flip up the trigger guard, you’re done.

Rather more spendy than the MkII, but oh so very much more accurate as well. And the trigger is adjustable down to ounces, not pounds.

Wolf .22LR ammunition continues to surprise. Nice pistol.

*ahem* I will offer my $.02 with what I believe to be a worthy opinion,
There are a few 'conversion kits out there for .45's and a few pistols.
Owning a pair
(I always get a stainless and blue version of what I like hehehe)
of Ruger Mark II Target models, and a pair of Kimber Target match .45's...I can say that the only 'conversion I considered was this
http://www.kimberamerica.com/pistols/rimfire/
Ruger's are good pistols, but I dont believe the frame of the Mark II gives the right feel, or action, of the 1911 frame...

[Red in Blue PA]

My dad has one of those and it is indeed one sweet gun. I hope to get one for my fiance in the comint year.

[Buffalo Head]

Is there some reason that you didn’t evaluate the best rimfire ammunition (CCI) in your tests?

[wastedyears]

I wish a firearm would follow me home...
