With the shortage of larger caliber ammo these days, .22LR is a great alternative .
Just got the M&P22 as my first CC / Beginner Handgun. I seriously couldn't be happier with my purchase. It feels like absolute butter in your hands and so reliable.
I have a couple of CZ75bs and installed the 22 Kadet conversion on it and I really like it. Accurate as hell and never malfunctions in any way with any long rifle ammo. It is just as accurate as my Ruger Mk III target model. Naturally I can always put my 9 mm upper back on and have another great pistol.
Had the MK IV on the range yesterday and we had a half silhouette and some 4” steel targets at 100 yards. I have a Holosun HS403 on it and we were able to hit the 4” targets about 5 out of ten shots. We tore up that half silhouette. Just a really fun gun to shoot. My grandson loves the M&P though. He’s turning out to be a really good shot. Thanks for the video!
Went to the gun shop to buy the SR22 months ago, before Covid. Left with the Taurus TX22. The Ruger is good, but the Taurus is better in many ways, especially with those 16rnd magazines.

Yes, the TX22 is a much better gun. I think it's the best 22LR pistol out there that's not a competition custom build!!
I got both Sr22 and TX22. I liked the TX22.
The TX22 is a solid gun, i bought one w/o ever firing it because of the reviews, and the reviews were right. I love it! Lightweight, 16 rd, low recoil, little maintenance, i have fired the Glock 44 and i like the TX22 better.
Taurus sucks there is nothing they do better than anyone else other than making cheap guns.
A solid review of 3 fine pistols. Well done!
I bought that same gun 2 years ago, the bronze Ruger mark 4...so sweet. The most accurate in my handgun arsenal and the best looking.
I love how some people say the 22 is a lil tiny gun and yet no videos of someone standing in front of one at a range lol.
Steven G great for beginnings
Great when you dont wanna hunt and pay 9mm prices for ammo
Uuuuuuhhhhhh, what? !?
One should NEVER stand down range JUST to film the gun firing. . . Regardless of the caliber. . . That would be stupid and reckless. It's what an autonomous camera with a tripod would rather be suited for.
FBI statistics used to be more deaths from. 22's than any other caliber.
Silly comment.
I have the S&W 22c! Love it, it reminds me of the Shield. Great little gun!
Mark IV semi-auto 22 LR are all well designed and the 22/45 lite model with threaded barrel is a super choice.
I Bought a Mark IV target replaced the rear sight and added wood ruger grip in mine has a 10”bull barrel it’s a bit heavy but….I Kicked Donkey Butt plinking. I am new to shooting and loving my easy Ruger Mark IV! Wish Ruger had better triggers though! A Great gun for the price….
Buy a Grand Power K22s and get the best features available for a gp .22 including stellar accuracy.
I love my Ruger SP101 revolver with a 4.2" barrel. I bought it as a trainer pistol and kit gun. The trigger is very heavy in double action and wasn't smooth a first, but a couple of detailed strips and some light buffing of action surfaces with a felt pad and some very fine polishing compound got it super smooth and clean. The single action trigger was always very crisp. It holds 8 rounds and if a round doesn't go off just pull the trigger again. Great for training trigger control in double action, very carryable despite the longer barrel, incredibly soft-shooting because of the all-steel construction, shoots anything from the wimpiest .22 short CBs to hypervelocity .22LRs, and is plenty accurate for small game hunting at short range. Finally, adjustable sights make it easy to dial in any ammo you care to shoot and being a revolver you don't have to worry about safeties or magazine issues.
Cristian Espinal -i could have written that almost word for word. Bought a few Sp101s and had a trigger job done on each. So smooth you only want to shoot double action and with practice anyone can be. 9/10 ring shooter. Nothing to jam, if it doesn’t fire just pull the trigger again while smiling. Helpful Tip: a brass brush with chrome polish and like magic cylinder rings disappear; always wear latex gloves when cleaning.
@@alanderson9711 yea man, 100% agreed. I enjoy mine so much that I went from not being a revolver guy to getting ready to buy a 4" SP101 in .357 Mag and a little .38 J-frame. After thousands of .22 rounds and many times more reps of dry-fire with the SP, I find that I shoot DA revolvers better than any other action type.
As for the brass brush and chrome polish trick, I'm definitely going to try it. I use a brass brush and a little solvent right now, but it takes a ridiculous amount of elbow grease and I never get every last bit off.
Cristian Espinal -got the 3” and the MC 4”. Wife had a Smith 637 beauty, but was too hard on recoil for her and traded it for a Sig P238 with Crimson trace grips, hard not to buy one after carrying and shooting it but I still keep going back to the 3” which Should have come with Hogue grips and been named The Ruger Goldilocks .357
@@alanderson9711 you and your wife have some great taste in guns. I considered the 3", but it wouldn't add anything new for me. I can't pocket it so it would be a holster gun. My favorite semi auto, a .40 PPS, already fills its niche of a small holster gun. I carried my 4" .22 SP101 IWB a few times. I was surprised that it was very comfortable and didn't print. That sold me on the 4" .357 since I plan on it being a hiking, hunting backup, and target gun. The J-frame would be for deep concealment and when I just want to throw the thing in my pocket. I'm planning on the 638 or 642. Definitely not as good looking as the 637, but I don't want an exposed hammer for pocket carry.
Great review. I’m still kicking myself for not grabbing an M&P22 or two a couple years ago when PSA had them for about $270 a piece. I had an LGS check the other day and the cheapest he could find one online was around $420.
Great vid! I own the M&P 22 Compact. My son has the Ruger SR22. Great guns!
Love your analysis videos. You do a great job
I would recommend the 22 that's the best/closest trainer for the center fire pistol you own. That M&P22 being a perfect example for an M&P center fire owner. That 22/45 being a great trainer for the 1911 owner. The Glock 44 (if you can get one that works) for the Glock shooters. And so on. I think a great generic trainer for polymer center fire pistols is the Taurus TX-22.
I have the Ruger SR22 and love it, but my favorite 22LR pistol is the Ruger Mark IV Competition Stainless. I put a Hi-Viz front sight on it and a 2x6x30 Simmons Pro Hunter stainless scope on stainless see-through rings. I also put in a Tandemkross Victory trigger and added the TK HALO charging ring because I'm an old man and I have arthritis in my hands; the HALO charging ring helps a lot. It came with a left side grip with a thumb rest, which is a big plus.
Cephas Martin, so you put hundreds of dollars of aftermarket parts on a "competition " gun? Roflmao! Yep, factory Mk 4s out of box ARE garbage!
Ruger Mark IV 45 Lite is my wife’s favorite 22 LR pistol. I bought a Mark III. 45 Lite before the last version came out and it is a pain to take down, but there are aftermarket upgrades and I got the trigger and Sear and Hammer and will in the near future get the Takedown conversion. I don’t mind the stock takedown but my wife’s Mark IV has me spoiled.
Great video. Thanks man!
Excellent suggestions and advice. Just wanted to say that some cheap guns are still very easily handled, and are quite accurate. My first handgun was a Rohm Gardner. .22 of course, and it still works today as well as it being highly accurate. H&R also is a highly accurate weapon, and its not too terribly out of price range. Altho you can hardly find them anymore, there ae still a few around. how bout making a vid highlighting the H&R series. As I said, Great advice and great information. Best wishes and may all of your shots be accurate..
Bought a M&P .22 a couple years ago. No issues yet with a couple thousand rounds fired, multiple brands, some very old. IMO, as close to a perfect handgun as I have ever found in 40+ years of shooting. This, in a world of very good .22's to choose from.
Walther P22....love it! Same size as the PK 380. Both are fantastic smooth shooting firearms.
My Walther P22 is possessed by Satan. I looked at the videos on how to fix it and worked on it and got it to work a little better. But seldom can run through a full mag without a malfunction. My worst purchase ever.
Have a Mark IV myself and it is amazing. Great range and Accuracy. I have the 70th anniversary edition.
Just pick up my Mark IV Elite today. I agree this is a great addition to any experienced collection. I am a huge LR fan and this is by far the best feel in any of my .22 pistols. great video.
First Place by a huge margin is: Ruger Mark IV, Sp101 revolver and SR22 with the Buckmark running far behind.
That sr22 swiping down for safe is a deal breaker big time
@Stansel Almon Even though I'm more accurate with the sr22 I've never been comfortable with the safety.
Not for me. At the range it don't matter. At home safety is off! No kids or grandkids!
@@davidpelton1885 it only takes one ND to keep you from doing that forever.
Leave the safety off and just use it as a decocker.
The bad oint in the sr22 is the tendency for the breach locking spring split to move out in firing. The back sights, being adjustable mean they tend to move when the gun is in use.
I forgot to say my favorite is the Mark series. I have 3: 1-early 70’s black and shots straight ( my uncle gave it me). 2- I bought my first pistol 1984 silver with a scope ( well my father had to buy it). 3- just got one like your holding. The kids and I shoot then a lot. Fun times.
Smith and Wesson Victory and Browning Buckmark
I love my Victory and the 617 from Smith and Wesson. I like my sr22 too.
Just bought the Ruger Mark IV (All Black) and agree with everything said and I did change grip, compensator and added thumb rests as a first step plus added 4 mags. To plink and teach people how to shoot
Well done video. This will be the second gun I’ve bought based on your recommendations.
Should have named your video “MY Favorite 3 .22 LR Handguns” as stating that your choices are the best out there implies a ton of gun experience and a very deep knowledge base of a wide variety of other .22 pistols. Neither of which seems to be the case. You really didn’t cover reliability or accuracy of any of the guns. You also didn’t cover extended long term use of them either. Any list about some of the best .22 handguns ever would have to include at the very least the S&W Mod 41, Colt Woodsman, Hi Standards, Brownings and revolvers by S&W, Ruger, etc. Video was shot well.....content & selection of the top 3 wasn’t at all even close to being based on experience or knowledge.
Great vid, thanks
Have you had an opportunity to review the Taurus TX-22 yet? Curious to see what your thoughts are on that gun. I haven't shot one but I'm intrigued by the reviews I've read about it. From what I've read it's a pretty reliable semi-auto .22 and I believe it has a 16 round polymer magazine. I think it sells for about $350 (ish).
I used to work at TNT!! My favorite .22lr handgun is my P-07 with a kadet 22 conversion!!
Just bought a P09 and can't find a kadet for it anywhere, I'm bummed to say the least
how is the p07 kadet kit working for you? Is it reliable?
I have several 22s - a Mark II; SR22; Walthar PK22; Beretta LW22.... all fun to shoot. Excellent Video Thank You!
Great video! 👍
Just an fyi, the m&p is not striker fired. It has an internal hammer.
I have a M&P 22 Compact and it is a great pistol. The Browning Buckmark rules them all!
S&W model 41 rules the Buckmark. I have them all, so I'm not putting down your gun. I have a very very nice Buckmark, but the model 41 is on another plane. I actually have two of them that are very close in serial numbers, and were built in the 70's.
Jay Coy I’m sure the model 41 is a very fine pistol, but damn they are expensive for a rimfire.
@@wisco_guy You ain't kidding. My father gave me one years ago. He bought two in the 70's. Now he's convinced that his time is about up, and I could tell that he wanted me to have his other one. I couldn't let him give it to me, so I gave him $1500 for it. It's as new, still has the original box, and it has a Leupold pistol scope on top. Good thing my wife doesn't keep track of me all that well:) I don't think she would like this transaction for a 22 that I need about as much as I need another hole in my head.
I have a Buckmark, 25 years old. They haven't changed much and that's a good thing. I've never felt a gun so comfortable in my hand. I put a rail on top and a reflex sight. So nice, and no need to take it apart to clean and lube really. Have 4 magazines, great fun. Beautiful gun.
Great list.
I've have a Browning Black Label 1911 22lr pistol and absolutely love it!
Build well.
Easy to clean and take down.
Feels great in my hand.
Has been very reliable and accurate.
Looks badass too.
Same here
Nice list but you can't exclude the TX22! Capacity, trigger, accurate and cheaper than everything gun on your list. Did I mention 16 rounds and reliability?
Thanks. My state won't allow that but wanna check it out.
The TX-22 is an excellent range/ target pistol. Taurus makes an upgrade competition model now also. The TX-22 fires really well and is not picky about ammo. The magazines are not $50 apiece; that's a huge plus! I bought a total of 6 magazines when the pandemic started to hit, and ammo started to dry up.
This is my range warm-up firearm and the most used weapon to improve shooting skills with a pistol. Unfortunately, 9mm rounds are still about 50 cents a round; that's too much to fire 9mm pistols all the time.
I then move to a 22lr rifle, then an AR platform 5.56 rifle. I wish I had a range closer to me that allowed shotgun rounds. My range only allows slugs, which are also too expensive to fire very often.
Just the Slide blows apart.
@@paulriccio5333 You probably could buy it with 10 round magazines. I'd check and see if there are 10 round magazines or something else that your state will allow.
I have one it's great
Thanks for the info.
First time buyer. Info & Insight was very helpful.
I have all four of the mark series. The 1 2 3 aren’t as bad as people think to take apart once you’ve done it several times. Lotta stores sell the mark four light for around 600.
During forty plus years of shooting, I've always heard that you shouldn't dry fire a rim fire pistol!
I love my SR22.and I have a mark 2 I love also .I would live the mark 4 but
The SR22 and the Mark 4 22/45 are both great. I’ve had no negative issues with either one.
Yes I know there are better 22’s but these work for me . Now I need to get the Ruger
LCP.22 and possibly the the Glock 44 .
First time watching your videos, and am impressed! Subbed, hope youre still making content.
Awesome video. You are on a short list of TH-camrs that actually made me not mind the sponsored ad.
Thanks for posting man! As someone new to all this, I will definitely be taking your recommendations. Plus, the Ruger just looks so cool lol! Keep it up!
Don't take his recommendations! He only reviews the CHEAP guns, NOT THE GREAT GUNS!
I used go to TNT guns all the time
It’s a top tier shooting range that’s for sure.
Great video...I have the M&P compact 22...that gun ain't no punk...you can feel the power when firing telling you it means business. I just bought the Ruger 22/45 Lite last week , its everything you said it is, took it out to range Sunday i kept going to it over and over it was so smooth to shoot, no recoil at all even had to go buy a new set of ammo to keep it going.
toyo 250 Toyo- would u trust your life to your M&P?! I think if u can get 3-5 shots in a perp, ur in good shape but a single shot prob won’t get the job done. Then again, if u shoot someone, they’re not gonna say “man, I dunno about that .22, but I’m sure a 9mm would hurt more” A .22 will hurt like a mfer fo sho!
Just picked up a sr22 for a killer deal at local shop for $200. I’m super happy with the performance
Something to add. The SR22 is a double action that is hammer driven. If you have a failure to fire you just squeeze the trigger again to give the primer another chance. The other single action guns have to clear that round.
I have the SR22 and it's a good shooter but the reverse safety is a mind f
Good explanation of good 22 lr and choices.
I love my 90s MKII Standard 6" model but no surprise MKIV got 1st place I want one now !
MKII target model has a better trigger .
Got rid of my walther, bought an sr22 and never looked back. You can feed these anything and they go bang every time.
Same here. I test fired it for a whole month. 847rds later and 2 hiccups. My carry gun for the last 5 years
The Ruger is great and suprisingly so is the Taurus Tx22, had less issues out of the cheap Taurus than my Buckmark
I just bought an SR22 yesterday. Can't wait to go shoot it. I'm a first-time buyer and going to have to figure things out as I go, but I'm looking forward to getting on the range for the first time.
@@JS-qi1ou Taurus seems to be a quality manufacturer now. I was going to get the G3c, but you can't find them in stock anywhere in my area right now. I ended up going with the SR22 instead, but once the G3c starts showing back up on store shelves I intend to snatch one up.
@@sorenpx how much it cost you?
I have a vintage H&R 999 .22 LR. Love it .... :)
Great product!!! Would buy again.
You give an excellent review. Thanx.
I think I’ve seen those gloves at Home Depot. How are they?
Good video and good choices. I personally would switch number 1 with number 3 but thats just me
Great video. Thank you.
Ruger SR22 - Great gun!
S&W M&P 22 Compact - Own this and love this gun.
Ruger Mark IV - own the MkIII, very hard to take down, the MkIV is much, much, much, much easier to take down.
Missing from list
Browning Buck Mark
Sig P226-22
Sig P250
Taurus TX-22
My S&W M&P 22lr full size not only fun at the range, but necessary when the Zombie Apocalypse comes, just wish it wasn’t so ammo sensitive
@Urban Boys my full size eats anything as well, it really loves stingers and mini mags, but I can run junk through it all day.
I have both MP shield and. Glock 43. Despite being less expensive, the MP has superior fit finish and much nicer take down lever. Honestly, I would pay more for the MP.
I am opposite I have the shield 9mm and the 43 just gave the shield to my dad after only shooting like 50rds I absolutely hated it lol.
I own 2/3 of the 22lrs you choose as best. Great guns, A Lot of fun. Dependable. Easy on the eye!
Great review.
Dude I don’t know how you can possibly not show the TX .22. Shoots everything and feels great in the hand. Perfect trigger 16 round mag
I like the ruger single six with a 7" barrel. Good for small game or target. But I like revolvers.
Can't go wrong with a wheel gun.
Have wanted the 45/22 but didn't know of this Target lite model Awesome must have with the easy take down. .22 is a dirty round literally l clean up right away!
I like your video! What would your recommendation for a "kit" gun be? I don't like the heavy trigger, but a if Ruger made a lighter trigger in their LCRx with adjustable sights and 3" barrel, that would be my ideal thought. I don't like single-action revolvers too much but the Bearcat would be another option. I wish there was a modern break top revolver. My other consideration would be a Ruger 22/45 Lite. That would actually be my best choice based on the current crop. I think a slightly longer barrel M&P 22 Compact would be a nice option as well, if it existed.
I want a TX22, my M&P compact is badass, my 22/45 is awesome. Best .22 pistol is my Ruger Charger, gotta copper custom adapter for a shockwave brace.
I have a TX22 with upgraded fiber optic sights. I haven't shot any of my other .22 pistols since.
Taurus TX22 is the new King !!! Long live The King !!!
Taurus 3c!!
picked up a tx22 and absolutely love it such a fun range gun
Just bought a sr 22 absolutely love it
Just picket up the Mark IV Lite in the blue and gold version. Great 22LR pistol, very light and accurate
Do you prefer the Ruger SR22 or the Walther P22?
I love my SR-22! Smooth, reliable, easy to shoot, and good-looking, too! It's my regular carry. I also really like my Browning Buckmark. Such a sweet target pistol. Need to take it squirrel hunting.
Great Show !
Best 22LR pistol I've owned is a Phoenix Arms HP22A pistol very reliable and concealable weapon with the option of changing barrel sizes and very accurate. A true pocket pistol, which will give any expensive 22 a run for their money. MSRP of $160 on average you can't go wrong.
A 22 is better than a zero gun!!!! Appreciate the video. 👍
My wife is retired army but she's still a wuss.so .22lr it is.then she picks that NAA little tiny revolver.i just have to shake my head.
Have you tried the GSG 1911 22lr? 1911 style 22lr. Shoots fantastic and has some serious weight to it
Kimber makes an excellent 22 lr pistol. I enjoy mine quite a bit. Kel-tec has a wonderful 22 mag that's fun to plink with.
good video loved it
Really like your explanation of each gun, excellent presentation. BIG downer here in CA, the Ruger Mark IV is not allowed to be sold. Would like to hear your thoughts on the Beretta M92LR.
I love my M&P 22!!! I shoot it almost daily.
You real sound producer ! The "quality" is "high" as possible ! Thank you for this noises ! Great job !
Good vid man. I just subscribed. It’s nice to see a Chanel cover a lot of different topics and not just guns.
I've had my SR22 for about 8 years. Shoot it daily.. getting sloppy but still very accurate.
Also have a 22-45 I love as well
How's it getting sloppy?
Keep your M&P clean and it will become your go to gun for carry or practice at the range.
I love mine.
Sorry, I’d rather have one that needs little maintenance and keeps on ticking/ .22s are often tricky to field strip, so I don’t clean mine until it starts acting up
I have a Ruger sr22. I like the smaller grip sleeve. It prints less. There's an extra round's space in the mag that's held up by a plastic post on the follower. Cut the post & get 11 round cap. You also have to trim the dingus off the follower cross pin though
Love my Buck Mark, but I wish they would make it easier to clean; I'm sure it would be on the list if it was!
After getting the Taurus G2C i like the looks of there TX22...its twin of the S&W!
Edit: I do have and Love the Ruger IV...mine is government competition with wood grips and smooth sided barrel!
tx22 had a recall on there barrels
Sheldin Venus been taken care of as it should.TAURUS has stepped up their game and playing Hardball.
Taurus TX-22 just changed the game in this segment.
I just purchased one but haven't tried it yet have the waiting period.( Illinois bullshhhhh)
Tom Powers wow I didn’t know Illinois had a waiting period, I live 10mi north of Illinois and get guns almost within a 20min window every time from paperwork to walking out with firearms.
The sig/ gsg 1911 22 is slept on
My new fav .22 is a .45 acp. I forgot I had a Ciener .22 to .45 conversion kit. I know there's been some bad press about these, but I got mine maybe 20 yrs ago and it worked fine right away. I have several other .22 pistols, some very small like the Smith & Wesson Sportsman, and some much larger and very accurate like the Ruger .22/.45 with a 6 7/8" barrel. But my Colt 1991A1 with the Ciener .22 kit is my current favorite. Why? It's pretty lightweight, accurate, and it's slim profile makes it a snap for small of back carry even wearing a backpack. I can also shoot Aguila Super Colibri primer-only powered ammo almost silently and very accurately.
New Ruger LCP2 in .22.
ruger is great quality......i have the single six & it is a joy to shoot. very accurate & high quality piece.
I have a Ruger SR22. Great gun! I also just bought a Ruger Mk 4. Piece of garbage! The sights on it suck! Even worse the trigger sucks! The creep goes on forever and ever! My brother just bought one. He has the same complaints! It will cost ne about $275 to correct these problems for parts and Gunsmith fees! Not good for a "target" pistol! It simply sucks!
Too many good options. The reviews on Mark IV are all over the place. I love the way the Lite looks. Anyone have any input on the Lite?
I have never seen a bad review on the Mark IV and the Mark IV 22/45 Lite is the best 22lr pistol on the market.
I have ruger mark 3 and 4 both in 22/45 and are great tools to have in the collection. Looking into sr22 or m and p 22 compact
