I bought myself a Ruger SR22 today for dispatching. I was using my rifle but i think a handgun will be more practical and easier to carry. Whats your thoughts on the Ruger SR22?

If I ever buy another .22 handgun it'll be that gun. I've shot my buddy's and its a very nice gun.

I have had mine for several years. I love it, a wonderful pistol. I still use my Rough Rider for dispatch. One thing about the SR22 I found is it eats every type of normal velocity .22 LR I have ever loaded into it.

Very nice handgun. Quite accurate and shoots all that I feed it.

I almost bought one. Ended up finding a TX22 first and after finding everyone raves about it it came home with me.

I use a ruger mark II, has dispatched ever critter I ever caught, you'll be much happier carrying a pistol always out of the way until you need it. This was a family gun before it was mine years ago.

I looked at them and wanted one. We cant use a semi auto handgun for dispatch in Pa. As I understand it, we can use a Ruger 10/22. Crazy, silly state law either way.

Fine little pistol but I prefer a revolver so I can use shorts. A SS bearcat with adjustable sights would be my dream pistol for the trapline.

2xbox in a ss bear cat with adjustable sights. I would add $150 extra it they were adjustable night sights.

One thing I notice is everyone thinks it's easy to hit exactly where you want at 5-6 feet away and even closer distances. Practice. Get a pop can put it at the distance and shoot for a small single letter on the can. When you can do that with every shot you'll know how your gun shoots, how much front site to use, where in the notch to put it, or adjust the sites to your liking. Proper shot placement is to draw an imaginary X between the ears and the eyes and aim for the center of that X. Don't shoot when they have their nose pointed at you but shoot to hit flat when they point it down. You'll have no more troubles then.

Sometimes I can't tell if I forgot how to work mine or if its acting up but once in awhile I'm cussing pretty good.

Whats it called when the first trigger pull goes a mile and the rest are fine? Thats one thing I remember for sure. Thats just how the first one is supposed to be?

Have probably over 5,000 rounds through mine. No issues and no complaints. Kills coon no problems if you hit your mark. Caliber size entrance with no exit.
