The Rugers and Buckmarks are classics with lots of options for modifications.

Many people want .22 versions of their "normal" guns and most maker have .22 versions.Currently my most used one is my M&P .22, prior to that, it was my Kimber 1911 .22.

You should check out the Ruger mkiv 22/45 lite. It has good iron sights and has a ton of upgrades you can get for it and magazines are like 20 to 25 bucks I think I got mine recently with 5 mags and it came out to 540.

Browning Buckmark.

 

[dondoo1315]

Also on the Ruger mark iv 22/45 disassembly is super easy compared to the other pistols

 

[aasbra]

Browning Buckmark.

This, or a Ruger Mark series (I'm personally partial to the Mark II).

 

[oremike]

I Grouse hunt with a Buckmark and my wife has a S&W Victory that shoots good.

 

[Pepe-lepew]

Ruger pistols are the standard. The discontinued MKII is my preference. For those mechanically challenged, the MKIV is recommended.

Browning Buckmark is not supposed to be dry fired is not designed to be field disassembled. Great pistol otherwise but those two things make it the first pistol I would not recommend.

sig P322 all day. I like it way better than the Ruger or Butmark.
Accurate.
Reliable.
supressor ready
20rd capacity or 25 with the 25rd mags
and optic ready

I really like my Ruger MKIV 22/45 Lite a lot. I was really surprised how much I like the S&W Victory though.

I've got a bunch of .22 handguns but the one that gets the most use is my Ruger MKll KMK512 (stainless 5.5" bull barrel). It's a great gun.
Another gun I would recommend is a Smith & Wesson Victory. I bought my son-in-law one for Christmas a couple of years ago and it's a shooter!

Recommend against the Ruger Mk IV 22/45 Lite.

A) the Glock G44, and many other makes, eg SR22 and Smith M&P, are lighter.

B) although it is easy to disassemble, you'll be doing a lot of that bc it frequently jams, and requires copper nosed bullets to run smoothly. CCI mini mags ok.

C) it's not any more accurate than the next gun out there.

D) fairly pricey.

I was just looking to sell mine.

will definitely take a look at the suggestions will probably end up with berreta in 22 to match the beretta I have. Any one have experience with it?

I knew a guy that had one. Pretty good except he found the dot sight cutout to be very shallow and the aluminum stripped out of the mounting holes giggity.

What's your definition of not breaking the bank?

Seems to me the Ruger is a solid choice...

Can you elaborate? I'm not 100% certain I'm catching your drift

 

[MikeInOr]

I love my KelTec P17! A really fun light weight 22lr.

Doh, my bad.. it was a Taurus, my mistake.

I pulled out all my "supposed to be accurate" .22 handguns and ran 'em through the mill against each other with my hunting ammo.

They WERE all accurate.

But the Ruger MKII ran the table, beating out guns that cost 2 and 3 times as much.

Classic Rimfire Handgun Shootout!

Silver Lake, Oregon, 40 years ago: A roommate and I "bailed out" of town for a three day weekend in the winter desert. Datsun station wagon (with chains), nylon tent, and guns. The second afternoon there, exploring in the little car, I saw a stretch of rimrock about 3/4 of a mile long and...

Anyone (equipped with a brain and two hands) who shudders at the thought of re-assembling one, probably spawned their first child because they gave up trying to open the Trojan package. The MKIV (with "improved" takedown procedure) I consider part of the "dumbing down" of America. Entirely unnecessary (for more than a half-century) for anyone who makes a modicum of effort to establish even a cursory familiarity with their guns.

Not difficult at all unless one neglects the gun longer than it should be, or is (by some defect or intoxicant) without short-term memory.
