22 Victory , Worth Buying?

[9Mary7]

Love my Victory.....but my 622 is still my favorite .22

Unlike the Ruger Marks, they are hammer fired.

I'd pass......I really don't like "em". BIL has one that had to have several repairs.......Plus it looks like an Elmer Fudd gun.........I'd get nice Buckmark iffen ya fancy a new .22.

I have a MkII SS Bull, and Colt Woodsman MT. Never any problems with ammo or anything.

I’ve been quite happy with mine. A bit heavy and big for a 22.
No malfunctioning with a wide range of ammo including tracers. Have a dozen magazines for it. All work flawlessly.
Use it frequently with a Sparrow supressor. Works well together.

Don’t understand the enthusiasm for Buckmark. Inherited one from my older brother. Once the hammer was down on an empty chamber, I doubt he ever shot it again. It takes the proverbial “two men and a boy” to cock the damn thing and you’ll lose blood in the effort. I know re-cocking it was probably beyond my brothers capabilities. Stupid design.

Despite that, I’ve shot it a bit. No more accurate than my Victory, Colt woodsman or my Ruger 22/45.

None match the performance of the 41.

Easy for me, just watch the video. But many complain about the Ruger MK2 and I have no problem with them.

I had a Ruger MK II with an Israeli military red dot scope on it. It out shot every 22 semi aito or revolver I have owned.

I love mine, though I will admit that it sorta "fell outa the Ugly Tree", and frankly I'm not sold on the grip shape. Admittedly, I upgraded it a bit with a Tandemkross trigger and Volquartsen barrel, but I opted for those changes because the basic gun was reliable with all kinds of ammo. That's more than I can say about my model 41, my High Standards, or my Buckmarks...

My experience with the Victory. When they were first introduced I thought they were just plain butt ugly. Then I started to read reviews from other forum members who had them and I got interested. Then in 2017 Brownell's, which is 20 minutes from my home, had a special sale on them $100 off retail, so I thought why not. Mine ran perfect right out of the box. Decent trigger pull, nice sights, one of the best .22 caliber pistol magazines I have ever used, and I quickly went from hesitant to loving it. Another very unusual event, for being a newly introduced pistol, aftermarket companies like Volquartsen and Tandemkross had a multitude of add-ons available. I like to tinker so I immediately added from Tandemkross a flat faced trigger, a Halo charger, a captured recoil spring assembly. Then I added a set of Bullseye G10 grips with thumbrest, and then a improved takedown screw from DIP Products. It has actually become my favorite above my beloved Ruger MKII Target pistols. Some shooters did encounter feeding and extraction issues on early pistols but that is easily corrected by slightly bending/tweaking the ejector. Attached is my final result.
