22 Handguns

[saemetric]

Always felt that 22 lr was mostly an autoloader cartridge. Then looked in the safe and realized I have more revolvers than semi autos. How about your collection?

Smith Model 17-6. Ruger MkII
Colt Trooper MkIII. Browning 1911-22
Smith Model 63-3
Smith Model 43C

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

I have some too.

 

[weatherby]

22's....any......are a problem for me.

The other day I set high standards up for myself.

I don't own any semi-auto 22's, but I'm a big fan of revolvers in that caliber. Picture are a Ruger Single-Six convertible (1958), a K-22 Outdoorsman (1939), an H&R "22 Special" (circa 1935) and a Colt Officers Model Special, 4th issue (1949). It's the top one in the photo with its .38 sibling. I also have a 1953 K-22 Combat Masterpiece and a 1966 model 17-2. They are all fun shooters.

.22 Revolvers

The only .22 wheel guns in my cabinet. My daughter's Rough Rider, My dad's K22 from 1950 with his Navy belt & Brauer Bros. holster, and the other Heritage fun gun. Those Heritage aren't exactly generational pass-downs, but I like the magnum option.
The K22 Masterpiece is still the most accurate gun, in my hands, that I own.

 

[lihpster]

2 autos and 3 revolvers. Unless a nice kit gun drops in my lap, I'll probably even it up next time.

 

[PeteC]

Model 17-2 (oldest and a bit cranky)
Model 18-4 (always a pleasure to shoot)
Model 41 (most accurate, WHEN fed the right diet)

All well used even before I got my hands on them.

Model 18 on the left, Model 17 on the right

Early 70's Model 41, with later Factory Stocks

 

[ruger 22]

We have a 63, 34-1, 17-1, Ruger mark1, and Ruger Single Six.

 

[joe44va]

Yeah, me too.
A single six.
Two Ruger semi autos, short and long barrel.
An S&W 6" 617 and a 3" 63.
That puts me with the revolvers leading 3 to 2, which is as it should be.

 

[rjm6120]

No pics at the moment, but here's my list of .22's I have:

1948 K-22
1971 model 61-2 Escort
1971 model 34-1, 2"
1985 model 41, 5.5"

 

[rockquarry]

I shoot .22s a lot. None of mine are close to new; I've had all of them a good while:
S&W 17 (70s)
S&W 18 (70s)
S&W 63 (70s)
S&W 41 (50s)
Colt Diamondback (2)
Colt Officers Model Match old version (2)
Colt Trooper old version (2)
Colt Conversion Unit on it's own frame
Colt Woodsman Match Target 2nd series
Browning Nomad
Ruger MK I 5 1/2" HB
Ruger MK II Gov't Model 6 7/8"

That's all or most of them. I use CCI Standard Velocity in everything.

22 handguns

1948 K-22, 1955 Kit gun,1966 M-18,1980 M-63, 1978 5 1/2" M-41,617-6 4",Victory .22, M&P Compact, PPK/S, 2 Colt Woodsman Sports 1948 & 1950, 1973 High Standard Victor 4 1/2". I think that is all of them . I just remembered my Kimber 1911 conversion kit.

 

[Valmet]

I love a .22 handgun. Only own two, a S&W 17-3 K22 (early "-3" as per letter, but actually marked "-2"). Was a 17th bday gift from my father, and a Ruger Mark IV Target, absolutely love them both.

 

[series guy]

Never thought of myself as a .22 accumulator until you folks made me count them. Rugers in the MkI, Mk2, and Mk4 varieties. Also a Model 41. Then there's the Single Six and Colt Buntline. A little Beretta in .22 short along with a K22 Masterpiece, a Model 17-6 and two ten shot 617s. How did this happen?

 

[Billylee]

I have several. Pair of H&R 904s with six inch barrels. Pair of Single Sixes combos with five and one half inch barrels. An early Taurus 94, first year w/9 rounds, with four inch barrel. A FIE model E 15 single action with a four and one half inch barrel. Grandsons love the H&Rs…Will be theirs some day. I'm most accurate with the Taurus. That FIE is the Buffalo Scout model and is a fun plinker, nothing fancy for sure. Probably shot these more in the last 14 months than I have in the last ten years…after that last 22 shortage I really stocked up on ammo. No such thing as too much 22s…ammo or revolvers!

 

[two-bit cowboy]

Two remain: a .22/.32 HFT from July '11 and a K-22 from August '47.

I'll likely keep it this way.

 

[kobsw]

My little J frame is a great shooter and a lot of fun.

I think between my wife and I we have 7 22 cal revolvers, 2 semi auto pistols, 2 lever guns, 3 semi auto rifles and 3 bolt action. You can tell we love shooting 22's.
