I purchased a Walther P22 5" Target Model when they first came out...as a matter of fact - I got the first one my old FFL dealer received. That POS was a major jam-o-matic with every kind of ammo you could think of.
 Took it back and took a $50.00 loss to fund a Glock. |

My p22 has never had any failure! It has roughly 2k rounds through it of dirty remmington thunderbolt and yellow jacket.

I am currently having a love affair with my S&W M&P 22 pistol, as I have not had a single malfunction with it and it shoots just about anything to point of aim/impact... and it accepts my AAC can.... BUT.. the most accurate and reliable .22 I have ever owned was my Browning buckmark micro (4 inch bbl). My only complaint was I has some bad mags for it and it took a while to weed them out of the pile. Over all, it is one of the best out there from the price and SOOOOOO much easier to take down and clean than a Ruger... IMO.

I have one word for you in regards to the Ruger MK 1 and 2. Volquartson. I can trick a Ruger out to be one bad ass accurate little beast with their accesories. I love their trigger kits and have installed over 100 of them over the years.
I have shot in excess of 100,000 rounds through my 2 MK1's and 3 MK 2's over the last 20 years. This is just the ammo I purchased and does not count the untold amounts of ammo my freinds and students have purchased through these guns. It seems there good for about 500 rounds before the chambers need a scrub to bring reliability back to 100%.. My Browning Buckmark and High standard Trophy go about 300 rounds before needing the same treatment. I really love my High Standards but to me the Ruger is the better all around gun. |

I have a MK 1 - someone apparently installed a Clark trigger and did a trigger job and it is so light I can't shoot it. What parts do I need to go back to normal? I found a place that sells parts, bur they show the hammer and trigger as factory restricted and so does Ruger. I don't know about trigger job gunsmithing, just want to go back to normal and be able to shoot it. Is a new trigger all that's needed, or more parts?Thanks!

I have had both and shot both in college matches. Hands down even the Modified MKII's we had could not hold to the S&W 41. That being said Yes it is more and unless you are shooting those matches and can not affored the Walther GSP's we went up against, go with the Ruger!!! I wish I had never sold my 41, but things happen and I did.

Seemed to run fine on CCI 40gr MiniMag. 100 rounds, no malfunctions. I bought the kit for low cost practice on the Glock. Sights and self defense trigger limit finite accuracy, but it will be fine for it's intended purpose. If I want to shoot a target to brag about, the S&W 41 comes out of the safe. The only problem with that is that it likes CCI Green Tag and it's almost as expensive as centerfire ammo. I saw a Buckmark Micro Standard URX at the local shop that seemed very nice and may follow me home soon. |

If you care about super accuracy, the Rugers, buckmarks and old s&w are best. I imagine the SP22 by walther would be good too.
BUT I really think the SR22 and P22Q are or can be made to be super reliable––plenty have 5K through the former and 10K-15K through the latter with no issues...and theyre plenty accurate inside of 20Y for most stuff. Both had some teething issues, but Ruger learned and improved on the Walther. The only popular .22lrs that still seem consistently hit-and-miss are the Sig Mosquito (which i hear nothing but bad AND good about) and the Beretta 21A (which misdeeds/overfeeds on occasion for most people it seems) both of which I'd love to have a 100% reliable version of––even if they only ate CCI minimags and SV. It comes down to preference. I've never shot any of the long barreled .22LR revolvers, but there are some 8-10" barreled ones that would be super accurate and reliable...not that I'd want one. :) |

My Pardini SP beats them all. And I know, because I have the rest.

I haven't shot a Smith 41, but I've shot all the rest. I vote Buckmark.

I had a Kimber Gold Match lower and Wilson Combat 22 conversion kit married together years ago. Probably my favorite gun of all time. Darn thing was pretty looking, could damn near eat gravel with a powder charge behind it and was accurate enough to harvest hordes of varmints throughout the western US. I replaced it (foolishly thought $850 was too much to have in a 22) with a P22 7 years later. Worst. Decision. Ever. That was like going from a Lexus to a Ford Escort.
The P22 is a poorly constructed, miniaturized plaything that if I ever have the misfortune of getting stuck with again I will use as a fetch toy for my neighbor's chihuahua. |

I own a lot of .22 pistols, but the most reliable and accurate is a S&W 2" kit gun. I don't think they sell them anymore, but they are little dandies.

1993 Ruger 22/45, bought in honor of Bill Clinton's election. One of the early ones, brandy new. It badly needed to be broken in and there were a lot of sharp edges that needed fixed. I was thinking I had a lemon, but with a bit of work and breaking in, this has been one of the sweetest pistols I have ever shot. I have a frame that I hang pop (beer) cans on and at 50yd it is just amazing, and I'm an old guy. I don't think I have ever had a jam.
On edit, target model, 5.5" stainless bull barrel, adjustable sights. |
