What's Your Favorite .22 Handgun?
I really like my 17-3 but this is the gun I'm most likely to grab on the way to the range:

My 617-4 4" 10 shot. I used to love my 17's, and still do, but this one has stolen my heart. Very accurate, buttery smooth, and balances perfectly. It's a keeper.

Well by adding the 617; that takes away from the period.

Sir, probably my Browning Buckmark. It feeds everything and is accurate with most loads I've tried. It's not as spiffy as my mid-'50s K22, but neither is it as fussy.
Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

That's easy for me, in a revolver, my S&W Model 34, in a semi-auto, my Ruger Mk II.

Favorite .22
Would have to be ca. 1959 Model 17. Almost too nice to shoot, but just loves CCI Blazer 40gr. For slow plinking, a minty 3-screw Single Six 5.5" that has come to stay.
Regards,
Dyson

I confess that my only 22 is my 1972 High Standard Victor. I have the Ciener units for my Colt MK IV and Browning High Power.

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.

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.

I would absolutely love to have a Ruger Mark II or III - maybe some day. For now, I'm making do with this Browning Buckmark camper.

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.

I concur!
Although, the Ruger MK III and the model 41 will be sticking around for quite a while

My 41
Just got a 6" 617 so it is seeing more use right now. It is not as picky as my 41 with the cheap bulk stuff.

My Benelli MP95e:
I just sold my Hammerli Free Pistol and have suddenly realized that this is the only non-C&R/Antique gun that I own.
All my others except for a M1 Garand and a Chiefs Special Airweight are pre-war and therefor older than I am.

My17-4...partly because I always wanted a .22 K-frame and partly because it was a gift to my son from a few members here....mostly the latter...

Ruger MkII like the one pictured. Accurate, stainless steel, and runs on any brand of 22lr.
I would dearly like one of the K frame Smith 22s, but never have the funds available when I see one.

Pre-18 (1952) with only about 65% blueing, well used but not abused. My favorite .22 handgun to carry.

I enjoy my j and k frame wheelgun 22's.
My favorite is a custom 41.
But the most used is my bullseye 22, it is a Pardini from the late 70's. Last Thursday I scored a 873 in a 900 match with it. This is very good for me as I am only classified as an expert and this is a high master score.

My Ruger Mark II is always going to the range. I will be getting a Model 17 soon and will be trying it out as soon as possible.

I need a good shooter. The ones I have are non shooters now. Too nice and too rare. I need to find one that's not a collector. What do y'all think about the SIG Mosquito?

The Mosquito has a spotty reputation over on RimfireCentral. When they work right it's usually with Stingers or other Hyper-Velocity ammo.
