Wow, five pages and no one (but me), loves their 22A? Lot of gun for the buck and too much fun in a 7" tack driver. (o;

Can you tell us more about it. Did the factory do the rib too?
What year(s) was the brake offered.
Thanks!

The gun is only one of two factory braked Ruger MK I's known. It was shipped with the brake to a distributer, Gil Hebard. He shipped the gun to Simmons in Kansas City to have the rib installed, then sent back to his shop. Done in 1964.

This is my High Standard Victor, with a Falcon barrel, and Vitarbo grips made to fit my hand. It will shoot into less than 3/8" at 50 feet, the only drawback is the very tight match chamber will not accept some brands of ammo.
This past winter, I shot my IZH35M(Russian) which will handle literally any ammo I put though it. Over a 10 week league, (30 round NRA gallery round) I was able to average 271.
I built up the grips some, and painted them, but otherwise it is all stock.

My favorite .22 shooter(2) is either one of my two M-18s.
I had S&W install an 8 3/8" barrel on this one some years ago.
It's a real tack driver.

I'm with you there! Smooth as silk and extremely reliable!
Of course this other one of mine is a bit more accurate
Smith & Wesson 3rd. Model Perfected.

Like a few others, mine is my Mod. 18. Was a gift from an uncle at age 14 (I'm now 44). It spits lead out the gap and shoots to the left, but still holds a dear place in my heart. When I get the $$$ I want to send it to S&W for rebuild (if they do that kind of thing).

It would have to be my Ruger MK1 bull barrel purchased new in 1970. I have no idea how many rounds have traveled through it but it has to be in the tens of thousands and never, never a FTF.

I have several .22s and like them all. I have a model 18 and a 1948 vintage K22. I also have a Ruger MKII Government Model Target with a 2.5 power scope. I recently traded for an old Monson made 6" heavy barrel Dan Wesson. I like them all but the Ruger is the most accurate.

I've got the ever popular Ruger Mk II...and the Ruger Single Six Convertible.
I couldn't live without either of them. simply the best.

For serious target shooting, I use my 1967 Browning Challenger. For general plinking and fun, I wouldn't trade my Beretta 87 for the world. Meanwhile, the 17-2 and new Buckmark are languishing in the safe.

That's a hard question to answer, but in the end I think my 4" Diamondback is my favorite.

My favorite is a stainless Ruger New Bearcat. Very accurate with most any .22 LR ammo. I also have a blueworn pre M17, shipped in Dec 1947 and a M422.
All are fun guns.

Very tough choice.
My Ruger with Gemtech can has seen brick after brick of subsonic Remingtons through it and has killed literally truckloads of jackrabbits and other vermin.
That being said, My Model 17 puts all others to shame in the accuracy department.

This High Standard Double Nine, .22 lr, Double Action, 9 Shot Revolver, that was the first handgun that I ever shot back in the late 50s that belonged to my Uncle. It's still in my safe today.

My favorite had to be my M41. I wish I still had it. Distant second is my Ruger 22/45 MkIII, highly modified to come close to what that M41 was unmodified. Sometimes you have to like what you can afford.

M41...7" barrel...
I used to think my Ruger(s) were the cats rear (they have all been "modified") but after I bought the M41...no contest.

Another vote for the Ruger Single Six. However, a 4" Model 17 and a Woodsman are on my long-term wishlist.

Ruger single six. Feels just like a SAA, but .22LR is cheap to shoot.

Favortie .22 handgun? Colt this time
Love my M17, M18, M41, Ruger Single Sixes. Had two Diamondbacks, a 6# and a 4#, but neither would shoot worth a darn. My favorite .22? This Colt Officers Match. Has an action like a Python, balances perfectly, trigger is crisp and light, and it shoots ragged holes if I do my part.

Just have the two, Ruger Single Six convertible, and Mark III standard. The Mark III is easy to shoot well, and with a Mcfadden speed loader and five mags it is possible to shoot up a brick in an afternoon. However, that kind of fun is not prudent in these times. The slower pace of the revolver makes the ammo last longer. Plus, I can shoot .22 mag and CB shorts in addition to .22 lr.

My 4" model 18 is my top 22 hand gun. Have a Ruger and an old Rossi that I almost never fire. The Rossi rides around in a holster under the truck seat as a just in case gun.

I have a Nomad as well. I like it better than my Ruger slabside.
My 15 year old son uses a S&W 22A. It is very accurate.

Gotta love a LAZARUS post that magically rises after 5 years !
My favorite 22 autoloader is this scoped Browning Buckmark:
Favorite K22's are the 4" variations:
Then the 6" variations:
