Haldor Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 4 hours ago, BamaBud said: Ruger Mk series. I had seven, and have 5 left, all bull barrels. A Mk I, II, and 3 Mk IIIs. I use them to teach new shooters. If you can't learn to hit a target with them, you're hopeless. I'm planning on replacing them with Mk IVs as I sell off the old ones. Just curious, what about the Mark IV do you prefer to a Mark II? I doubt if I will ever get rid of my Mark II 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5pointstar78 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I just picked up an AMT Lightning pistol with a 5" bull barrel that is just a dream to shoot. It's a Ruger MK2 copy, but usually I love to take out my Ruger MK3 slab side.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327AZ using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Ruger 22-45. Familiar 1911 angle in .22 cal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCHMAN Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Mine is an old school (6 shot) S&W63 w/ 4-inch barrel. Purchased in 1983 or 1984. Sorry no pix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotn1 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I really like my Ruger MK IV But my favorite is a S&W Model 41 with a 7” Barrel. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ede Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) S&W 617 with irons. I've won every state match and two World Shoots in Alabama never been beat. Had it longer than anything else and has more rounds fired than anything else. Edited July 1, 2018 by ede 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6actual Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hands down, my S&W Model 617-4 with 4” barrel (this one is not mine but looks very similar) I've got a bum leg right now so I cant drag mine out of the safe for a photo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Bundy’s Dodge Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Blued ruger mk iv target with a volquartsen accurizing kit and the volquartsen firing pin. Endless amounts of fun. Put a red dot on it and it got boring to shoot because I could literally hit anything, including a 6” steel plate at 100 yards. Shot it so much that my shooting with iron sights started to suffer, so I took it off.I really want a S&w 43c but but haven’t bought one because I hear they get dirty fast and require cleaning after a minimal amount of rounds. Most of my .22 shooting is usually done in large amounts at a time.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 My favorite is the 7 inch model 41 Smith and Wesson, but I also love the Colt Woodsman. I like the Ruger Standard Auto especially the blued 6 inch tapered barrel models and wish they'd offer that barrel configuration, Blued, not stainless, in the new Mark IV. I have a blued Mk II 6 inch bull barrel but will probably sell it and get a Buck Mark Contour 7.25 URX. These sell for about $500 bucks, much less than what I'd have to pay for a Model 41 Smith or a woodsman. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The 22/45 will likely be my next purchase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMag Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 My only one for now. Ruger made the upgrade in one week.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I have had real good results from a S&W M&P 22 compact, it has taken care of numerous nuisance animals for me in the past few years. I also own a MKIII 22/45 LITE that is decent, but I had to put quite a few "upgrades" on it for it to be reliable. In the past I have owned 2 different model Buckmarks, a MKII and a Ruger SR22. The only one of those regret selling was the MKII. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyofforty Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Just mounted a Vortex Vector red dot sight on my Browning Buckmark. It's very accurate, and a lot more fun to shoot now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scwine Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I only have one. A Browning Buckmark Camper, has a bull barrel. Love shooting turtles in a pond with it. I word of advice, don't dry fire it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willieH Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The S&W 41 is highly accurate and pure joy to shoot, but I shoot this suppressed Ruger most often just because it's quiet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someday Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 My S&W 617 - absolutely love that thing. I shot one of S&W kit guns once - it was fun, but it's no 617! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Another vote for the Smith 41. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost track of how many people I've introduced to shooting with her. It's the gun I taught my nephew to shoot with. And he's now a SEAL. I have that exact same pistol. Probably purchased the same year as yours. I hardly ever shoot it anymore but my kids cut their teeth on my 22/45. When my dad passed away, I inherited his MK 1. My kids love that one because it belonged to Pops. My boys aren't SEALs but they are serving. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeG36 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I don't shoot much .22LR anymore but growing up I had an H&R 22LR / 22Mag. It came with two cylinders and was a great woods gun for a kid. Unfortunately it's long gone. I currently have my dad's MK1 and my 22/45 as well as a Walther TPH pocket pistol. I'd say that the H&R was my favorite. If I ever come across a nice one for a reasonable price at a show, I'll probably pick it up for old times sake. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother J Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Out of a half dozen of so Ruger semi-auto's, S&W 41, Browning Buckmark, Colt Diamondback (mistimed and leaded the barrel heavily), I have only two left that are keepers - Ruger Single Six and a CZ 75 Kadet II conversion. Both are very accurate, but the Kadet is amazingly so with CCI mini-mags. The Single Six is good for teaching beginners the basics of sight alignment and trigger press. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotn1 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Let me add one to my earlier selection...., a AWC Amphibian great fun and dead quiet but a PITA to clean so it doesn’t get out much to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
