.22lr Target Pistol

[Evil Dog]

And just to brag a bit, while I'm far out of practice & with geezer eyes can not really be competitive in the Bulls Eye these days....

I'd gotten to the point where I had to use iron sights rather than my beloved MatchDot because I was seeing 2 or more dots. An adjustable iris helped with the irons. My salvation though was getting the cataracts removed... WOW, what a difference !!! Back to using my favorite red dot again.

Seriously... if cataracts are part of your geezer eyes, get them fixed. It's well worth it and only took about 10 minutes for the actual surgery. I was back to shooting again in a week.

guy22,

My High Standard VICTOR 5.5" uses Standard Velocity ammo per the instructions, for Brand I use CCI generally (100 pack).

I handled a friends RUGER MARK II 5 1/2" Bull Barrel at the range the other day, he said he would NEVER sell it, he'll die of old age with it. You'll have to look to find one of those as they are highly desirable.

Good Shootin', and have fun.

Thanks for all the replies!!!
I have shot the Ruger, and Browning. Kinda lean toward the Browning. Both shot great.
Have not shot the S&W 41, or the Barreta 87.

Everybody around here say's Ruger. Kinda like the "Glock" thing.

Nobody seems to understand why someone would spend a grand or more for a .22lr. They will spend half that for a compact nine that is lucky to hit a six inch target at 50ft. Then say look at knock down/killing power!!! LOL
I'm not looking for knock down/killing power. Have a .45 Colt and a Shotgun.

I am trying to be a better pistol shot. Win a dollar, or beer.
I shot a High Standard many years ago, and liked it a lot. It was a military trainer from WWII.
Some how I forgot they were still around.

Still thinking it over.

I have a M41 with a Clark Custom STC barrel and a C-More RTS red dot for steel, and I absolutely love it. A fantastic gun, incredibly accurate, and (I think) worth the money. I recently bought a Buckmark to use as a iron-sight plinker. It is very comfortable in the hand (URX grip) and has a very good stock trigger, as others have said. However, I am very disappointed in its (poor) accuracy. Both are 100% with CCI SV ammo.

(Photo shows the same gun with a DeltaPoint).

I have an older 41 and 3 Rugers. Hands down the 41 is a much nicer and more accurate gun. I did put a Clark trigger on my Ruger MKII and it does shoot well for a lot less money than the 41 cost.
