Thanks to T Rex giving me the heads up on the Reeds Gun Show coming up it looks like I will be buying a new gun. Lol

I am thinking the ruger sr22. Maybe a walther p22.

Any of you guys have preferences on one or another or other choices?

Looking at using it for target practice for my sweetheart.

I have an SR22. Shoots straight and no jams.

I like the ruger but if just for targets I like the 22/45 MKIII Target but with a MKII hammer bushing installed.

we take these to 100 meters for 22 pistol silhouettes , it is a lot of fun they also make good bullseye pistols you can take it to a league and get started in Bulleseye now called Precision Pistol.

I bought my wife the Ruger SR22, she has small hands and loves it. Found D out she is one heck of a shot when I found something that she is comfortable with.

Walter 22 is a very good,choice. Get the one that has the threaded barrel, that is the same as the 9mm PPQ. It out performed everything in testing and even beat the Glock in 9mm. It's trigger is awesome and very accurate.

You guys are not making this easy on me. Lol

Greencounty I like the MK111 but she wants compact. That's incredible your shooting 100 meters with them.

Another one I just found I might consider is Smith & Wesson m&p 22 compact.

I have over 3,000 rounds through an s&w .22 compact. very nice gun and a great shooter, but its fussy about what you feed it. hollow points with a very flat nose wont feed, but Remington golden bullet h.p.'s work great. any round nose bullet works great too. feed issues are very common in .22 compacts. find an ammo it likes and stay with that. not as much of an issue with the larger models.

for the record, I ran 3,000 rounds through it without cleaning anything. this was intentional, as I wanted to evaluate how it operated when dirty or neglected. when I field stripped it, it was amazing how clean it was. it was still functioning perfectly after those 3,000 rounds. very nice gun.

our county youth shooting program has 9 of the MKIII I got 7 Vortex viper micro dots and 5 of the guns on an NRA grant in 2016 , if you can hold still ok, so that is the hard part all you have to do is hover that dot right over a rams back , if it is windy over the but or head depending on direction but it never gets that windy or the targets blow over.

a few years ago I had a young lady who had never shot pistol before we explained pistol safety she sat down and put 2 magazines in to a target at 10 yards an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper with about a 6 inch target. she was all over the paper but all on the paper , clean up grip this was the biggest part, and trigger squeeze , a little on sight alignment and sight picture and she was consistently ringing a 10 inch plate at 60 meters with iron sights , every time she would start to miss , I would find she had shifted her grip down again, fix the grip back on target. she shot most of this wrists wrested on a sand bag at a shooting bench

but she got 1 or 2 rams standing

4 of our guns have been in the program for 10+ years and have many thousands of rounds through them they need a good cleaning every year but are holding up well.

S/W 422 had this one for 30+ years 22oz, carry it cross draw for trapping like it's not even there when trapping!

I have both, the sr is smaller. 1st shot on sr can be double action, and the safety is also a decocking lever. They both shoot very well. I don't remember the specifics of the rather, haven't shot it for awhile.

Greencounty is the MK111 still available as I heard it got discontinued?

Law dog 30 plus years and still looking good.

It's going to help going and having her hold them to see how each one feels to her.

I believe all three are great guns.

Well I watched a guy shoot at a gopher with his Buckmark .22 at 100 yards. He was shocked he only nicked it and didn't kill it. So I bought one. Liked it so much I bought a spare. Great target guns (with smaller grips for women) and never jams no matter how much crap I seem to get into it.

SR22 on a auction tomorrow(Sunday), one of the reasons why I am going.

Both my girlfriend and I had sr22. I still have mine a wont get rid of it. It has been flawless. Sweetie traded her sr22 to her son for a Buckmark. That is also a nice pistol. She ended up getting a M&P22 full size. She really likes that pistol and shoots it well to. She feels it takes about half the effort to rack the slide on the M&P as it does on the sr22. I like shooting that M&P to. So if you are going to Reed's check them all out before you buy one.

×2. I love mine and will never get rid of it.

Sounds like all great guns. I will have to check out the buckmark as well. I find it amazing the range you guys are shooting with them.

Backroadsarcher maybe I will see you at the auction. Lol just kidding good luck on getting it

Keltech 22 Mag load magazine in October shoot all year 30 rounds

old school here shoot a single six

I have the SR 22, nice gun, what I really like is it fits in Back pocket of my jeans real comfortably.

I like these as well.

Maybe buying her a gun will get me a gun. Lol
