I have the ruger sr22 pistol. Very reliable shoots anything no ftf in over three hundred rounds. Really like it.

 

I really like mine. When I bought it a year ago January, I picked up a box of every brand of .22lr they had the the local Gander and it did fine with everything.

 

just picked one up today for the wife to start learning the basics with. borrowed a buddies earlier in the week for her to try and she really liked it. a nice smooth shooting weapon.

 

Bought one several months back and have only find the time to put about 100 rounds though it. Reliability was perfect right out of the box, quite happy with the purchase.

Ive been looking at getting one to add to the collection and have heard nothing but positives, mostly people comparing them to P22's and how much better they are than the walther. Hows the accuracy compared to the ruger mark series? -Jon

 

Haven't fired one of the Mark series handguns in about (ahem) alotta years but I will say that my SR-22 not quite up to par with my High Standard Duramatic M-101. If I'm concentrating, I can take at 30 feet with the M-101 and cover all 1o holes with a silver dollar . More like the bottom of a soda can with the SR-22. Which is still pretty darn good for what it is.

But I don't necessarily expect it to be as accurate as my target pistol with a 7 inch barrel. Right?

If I had to pop a prairie rattler in the head at 15 feet (Yup, it's a nice light handgun, perfect for carrying on hikes) I wouldn't hesitate to take that shot.

 

I crossed the 1000 round mark in mine last week, fantastic gun. Mine is good and broke in now and I can say the trigger in SA is sweet. Very accurate for its size, and as has been stated several times before, it eats pretty much any brand of ammo you feed it. You'll really love the gun I think.

 

I have about 400 rounds of cheap Federal ammo through mine, and no issues at all. I really like mine, but almost always try to fire it in single action, the trigger on double action is too heavy. (but its heavy enough that there is virtually no chance of accidentally pulling the trigger as your pulling it out of your pocket)

I'm looking forward to magazines that have more capacity, there seems to be room for an extra 4-5 rounds in the stock magazine.

You will really like an SR22, if you don't already have a 22 pistol, you are really missing out on cheap shooting and plinking.

 

I have a Ruger 22/45,to say the least,very accurate.BUT,a PIA to reassemble.Yes,I'm aware that "all ya gotta do is ,practice,practice,practice...tearing it down and reassemble it"....yea,It shouldn't be that way in the first place IMO....so I'm also considering a SR-22!.

 

The SR-22 comes apart in a few second and goes back together just about as fast.

 

I really like my SR22, and it has been very popular with my friends who like to borrow it at the range. My only complaint is that, contrary to most reviews I've read, mine is picky about ammo. Specifically, it doesn't like round-nosed bulk ammo, but flat-nosed and hollow point work just fine.

 

BFT....thats good to hear/read!. Watched a video or two on the sr-22.....seems to be ok?. Time will tell though!.

 

I picked one up today. They had the Walther P22 in the dark earth color that I was drooling over, but ended up walking out with the Ruger. I thought I was going to have to break out the cutting torch to get the grip off, but man does that large grip fit like a glove. Can't wait to shoot it this weekend.

 

GBM75...large grip?.Are you advising that the sr-22 comes with a change of grip(s)?;or the OEM grip fits tight?. TIA

 

Two grips, two magazines & four magazine floorplates (two extended, two regular), rear sight elevation/windage adjustable & reversable. If you prefer a black blade over two dots on rear sight you can turn it around.

 

SR22 is my favorite .22 handgun, and quite possibly my favorite handgun of any caliber. Mine has been perfectly reliable, shoots every type of ammo I've tried. Round of choice is CCI Velocitor.

 

Blaser Bulk is what I give my SR22, the Rem Goldens and ThunderDuds, have a 10% FTFire rate, in any of my 22's:thumb:

 

I use Ruger SR 22's in my NRA basic Pistol classes that I teach. Mine have seen tens of thousands of rounds and are cleaned after every range session. I use Federal Auto Match exclusively in these pistols and also in my AR15 .22 conversion kit. I have had only one FTFire in this many rounds, however when I first bought the pistol I tried 50 round boxes of approx 6 different types of ammo and by far teh worst was Rem GB probably 30% failure to fire. I can't recommend this pistol highly enough.
It also fits in many different types of leather CCW holsters including my Masters belt slide that is made for my M&P 9mm and allows me to do holster drills and such utilizing the same holster and drawstroke.

 

Ran about a hundred rounds of Winchester & Remington bulk ammo through the SR22 this evening. Had one fail to fire on the Remington & many fail to fire/fail to feed on the Winchester 555 rd 36 grain bulk, between two shooters. I lost count, but would say near twenty ftf with the Winchester.

See if that improves when I have time to really run it through the breaking in process. On the bright side, it was accurate out of the box.

That's the exact opposite of my experience. Further proof (as if any is needed) that two guns of the same make and model are not necessarily alike.

 

I borrow my Wife's all the time. Very accurate and reliable.
