Want to know what my 22 handgun options are for ones that I can get extended stick mags for?
Needs to have a threaded barrel.
Also, which extended stick mags are reliable? I'm not really interested in drum mags.
Need gun and mag that are inexpensive.

Depending on what state you live in - you can pick up a stripped AR-15 lower for under $50.00 bucks, a stripped upper for about the same. A AR-15 Lower Parts Kit is $60.00ish. A CMMG 4.5" barrel & bolt set will run you $230.00 from Optics Planet on sale. Good Handguards can be bought for $70.00
So - let's see... $50.00+$50.00+$60.00+$230.00+70.00 = $460
25 round magazines from CMMG run around $25.00 each. Some folks buy an adapter so they can run the S&W M&P 15/22 mags - my CMMG stuff works fine so far.
So - for around $500.00 you can have a good working 22LR pistil that uses "stick" magazines - only you can decide what is "inexpensive" to you.
Most regular 22LR handguns have a magazine capacity of 10-12 rounds - how important are extended mags to you?
Here is my AR-15 22LR build as above, but I went the full SBR route to have a shoulder stock...
Have fun,
