    Stainless Bisley Blackhawks, Serial Number & Casing Date

    Quick question(s): I'm kind of newbie here, though I spend a fair amount of time over on the S&W forum - Is this a reference to Rugerforum.net?, and, Could somebody please tell me what the differences are between Rugerforum.com and Rugerforum.net?

    Ruger SR22 as EDC??

    I found this info over on another forum. This was a response in a similar thread. The point the gentleman was making is that a projectile needs to achieve something like 1,000 fps for a HP projectile to expand. In this, and other tests, the CCI stinger expands to approximately .41 cal and...

    favorite 22 plinkers

    Here's mine. I've acquired a mint MkII standard since this pic was taken. It also does not show my 10/22s. Stainless MkIII, MkII, S&W34-1, Beretta Bobcat, SR22P.

    Ruger SR22 as EDC??

    Since nobody is hyperventilating - as often happens anytime somebody suggests a .22 for CCW - we'll keep going here. I think that shot placement is EVERYTHING in CCW. I can afford to practice hundreds and hundreds of rounds in any outing when I'm shooting .22. So I can practice 'point...

    SR22 Pistol a POS?

    Hey, by all means, if you have any doubts about the SR22, then feel free to buy something else! That's why the SR22P is the only polymer gun on the planet right now that's suffering from production shortages. They can't make them fast enough to fill all the orders - because one bozo posted a...

    Returned from Ruger sr22p

    Mine does that - occasionally spits crud back at you. I don't get that from any of my other Rugers. I'd be interested to know if your problem goes away.

    LCR 22

    Ok, this is just my 2 cents; I think extraction problems are normal with all .22 revolvers. The more rounds in the gun, the bigger the extraction issue - because there's more friction. 6 rds in a gun = less issue, 8, 9 or 10 rounds = bigger extraction issues. Again, just my 2 cents; but I'm...

    Relative value of Mk II??

    I found a mid 90's MkII standard in mint condition with both mags and the box for $199 at a pawn shop recently - GREAT deal in my book. It took precisely 7 nanoseconds for me to whip my wallet out and buy that bad boy.

    SR22 Pistol a POS?

    I'm one of the people who had the "dynamic disassembly" issue. I bought my SR22P about 4 or 5 months ago. I read and heard that the sig mosquito and walther P22 were lesser guns so I went with the Ruger. I really like Rugers and have a couple MkIIs, a MkIII, and a couple 10/22s. A brother...

    Going to Get My First 10/22

    I have been shooting 10/22s for some decades and it has been a ton of fun. I've been the NRA-certified shooting instructor for my son's Boy Scout troop for the last several years and there's nothing like watching a group of boys on the firing line blazing away. We shoot a lot of different 22s...

    Ruger SR22 as EDC??

    Gentlemen (and Ladies), Let's all take a deep breath. Some people feel perfectly comfortable carrying a .22 for their CCW. If the OP (or his wife, etc) wants to carry their SR22P for their CCW - then I think that's great. IMHO: People carrying CCW tend to either gravitate upward or downward...

    sr22 or lcr22?

    I was facing the same decision. I went with the SR22P. Reason: I liked my MkIII, I REALLY like my MkIIs (2), I wanted a 'trainer' for polymer 9mm pistol(s), the reviews on the SR22P were stellar, and it was cheaper. Both are made from polymer with SS barrels. I'm happy with my choice...
