Pistol companion to the 10/22

Saw a ppk when I picked up my lowers. Nice little gun

My Walther pk380 is built just fine. I bought it because I like the way the two tone model looks very much, but It's very reliable and shoots anything I put in it. It was my first handgun and has seen much use. No it's not built like an airsoft gun wtf?... and it has Walther along with their ULM markings on my pk380 as well. I could give a shit what factory it's made in. If Walther represents a product with their own name and markings and sell it, They're representing those products for what their brand as a whole is. Deeeerrrrppp.

Tell that to anyone that had shot a Sig Mosquito.

Glad your PK380 works, but on a whole, the better guns come from the Ulm factory.

That's not to say I won't buy a Cologne one, but I own plenty of Walthers.

I don't see anything wrong with the P22. They have been fun and utterly reliable.
If they are built to airsoft standards (whatever that means) they might be building a heck of an airsoft.
Izmash is building airsoft rifles for training using the same receivers they use for the AKM rifles.

Don't think I saw a revolver mentioned. I owned a SR 22 and it was a fine pistol. I did not sell because I had complaints or problems with the pistol.
However, at some point I took a turn and felt that a .22 handgun should be a revolver. No worries with a revolver in regards to what will cycle and eject as with a semi. They virtually fire anything. Mini Mags, sub sonic including snake shot. So my choice would be whatever 9 shot revolver floats your boat.
I am partial to my made in 1956 High Standard. 3 inch .22. It is 9 shot, aluminum frame, quality steel barrel and cylinder. Functions just as it was designed to.

A .22 revolver would be sweet, but they seem to be a good amount more expensive than their semi auto brethren.

I remember when I was looking for a .22 revolver. Watched the usual auctions and visited four LGS. Almost everything I saw was S&W. A couple of Rugers in Single action and one or two of the other brands. I was amazed when I saw how steep the prices were. Then I was in a Mom and Pop type shop and saw a revolver hanging upside down by the trigger guard in a nearly out f view spot. I was actually walking out when I noticed it.
First thing that caught my eye was the 3 inch barrel. I have a liking for 3 inch revolvers. It had a bit of wear but seemed solid, locked up tight and had all the features I was seeing on the expensive S&W. 9 shot, aluminum frame, barrel and cylinder from quality steel and a pretty nice grip to boot. Even has recessed cylinder bores and made when pistol smiths sat at their bench and fitted the parts. I decided that for out the door at less than $175. 00 I would take a chance. Never looked back. Very happy with the decision.
Point is, there are some very adequate .22 revolvers out there. They just don't have the name that seems to impress.

I'd be on that like flies on shit. Every one I see on gunbroker or in the LGS isn't worth the price to me. I'll keep looking. If you ever see another, feel free to PM me

I've been pairing up rifles with handguns. My recent pairing is a Ruger 77/357 magnum stainless with a synthectic stock that I seen and had to have. I bought a vintage Weatherby 2 1/2 X 10 power scope a few months back that I mounted on the rifle. I have a nice Ruger GP100,six inch stainles 357 magnum that goes with it, but on gun-broker there was a nice 357 magnum Ruger Redhawk for only $895 so I jumped on it like a fly on a fresh shit pile.

I say, Buy a Ruger rifle, Buy a Ruger handgun to go along with it.

You have a semi 10/22, buy a SR22 or a Mark series. I love both of my Ruger Mark 2s, I need to buy a stainless 10/22 to go along with them.

Will do.

I like those new browning 1911 .22. I think I'll buy one of those next.

Sweet little 22

I use a Browning Buckmark with a 5" bull barrel for Bullseye comp. with a reflex red-dot. It is very accurate. I've shot the SR22 as well and found it to be comfortable but not even close to the accuracy of the Buckmark.

here is the Coolest 22LR i know of...

P938 22LR Rosewood

(i think there are to different slide lengths, if you already have a 938, you can buy a conversion kit!

Built to airsoft standards is what I've heard, that is to say, light and flimsy.

I haven't shot any of the P22's but from my experience with other Walthers, I highly doubt they would have their name on something of standards like you've heard. Looks like they are built pretty much like the P99's here...

I'd buy one if I had the money. Be nice to have a P22 to match my P99. When I was shooting bullseye both my 22 and 32 were the same exact platform and that helps a lot in practice.
