I'm a big fan of my Kel-Tec CP33. Surprisingly accurate and decent trigger. Also, 33 rounds in the magazine is fun and it comes with a threaded barrel.

Another vote for the 22/45 Lite. I have a Victory as well and it's good but there's an issue I've run into as a left handed person where my hand engages the safety inadvertently. I moved to a 22/45 because of that.

I have a Ruger 22/45 MKIII (not Lite). For me the pistol is fun for plinking, but it can also be used at longer ranges with reasonable accuracy. I like the weight of the bull barrel, and unlike many other semi-auto 22 pistols, the bolt is almost entirely contained by the receiver. This means I can rest it on a fence post and wrap my off-hand around the whole thing to stabilize it. I've shot critters at 50yds with this thing regularly. It's more like a little rifle.

The m&p is like $350 brand new and comes threaded. Why would you even look at anything else? However I don't even shoot it much. Because the Ruger MKIV STAINLESS THREADED TARGET I have is so accurate and such a pleasure to shoot. The M&P COMPACT 22 just isn't in the same league. |

Mark 4 Lite is best for a suppressor. The Mark 4s are really great, right up there with the Mark 2s as Ruger's best. BuckMarks are good pistols also but heavy.

Quoted:
I'm looking at fixed-barreled stuff (Ruger MKII-III-IV, Buckmark, S&W Victory). -Has to be threaded for a can. -Prefer it be under $500. I have decided not to go with anything that mimics a full-sized handgun unless I find a deal on a used M&P22 Compact. I have a Ruger MKII but I don't want to blow $150 on getting it threaded. I have considered buying one of those slip-on set-screw threaded adapters but I don't think I'll be happy with that in the long term. I have read positive reviews on all the major options. I'd prefer to stick with Ruger but they sort of lost me with the MKIII and MKIV. If I buy one of those I have to keep magazines separate from my MKII mags. That annoys me. So finding an older, threaded MKII would be awesome. The Ruger Charger is too heavy to be practical, IMO. But I'd be open to other suggestions. Yes, you still have to do a 4473, but You get to keep everything else on the gun It's cheaper You can put the MkII back in original configuration If you don't care about the original setup, you can sell the MkII upper to reduce you cost. |

After owning both the ruger 22/45 and a s&w I'd go s&w. Disassembly of the ruger is unnecessarily difficult. Ruger offers many aftermarket parts but the s&w is stupid simple to clean and if you shoot a bunch you'll appreciate that. The s&w seemed better without spending the extra money.

Well, I fent.
I didn't like the aluminum-shrouded Ruger MKIVs and didn't want to pay for a steel-barrel model. I may end up getting an adapter for my old MKII. So I ordered a M&P22 Compact, threaded model. Store didn't have a threaded one in stock (I did handle the unthreaded model) so it'll be Thursday-ish before I get it. I ordered a 1/2x28 adapter and some Winchester Max 42-grain hollowpoints (the old supersonic high-velocity ones, which will probably still be subsonic in a 3.6" barrel) and a cheap tac light so as to assess whether this might end up being used as a bedside gun. $419 total for everything. Not a great price, but I couldn't find a used one locally and a new one at the big-box store would have been the same price. eta: I went ahead and ordered the adapter for my old MKII, also. |

The victory is meh IMHO. Barrel can come loose. Factory mags were picky on ammo, would bind up on me. Its like a lego gun if youre into that.
Rugers are great but more involved to clean. Buckmarks are easy to clean but........ cant think of anything negative in buckmarks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: IIRC, ADCO will move the front sight back and thread for $150ish, plus shipping. My local gunsmith charges $150 to thread anything. Moving the sight would be extra. 
At that point it's easier to just buy another pistol. My MKII was worn out when I bought it (not really, had a lot of finish missing, but shoots great) and if I spent $175 on it, it would still be a $250 pistol. |

Is there a functional difference between the MKIV with the steeper grip angle and the 22/45 with the 1911-ish grip angle? Other than the grip of course.
I like the way the standard MK series looks, with the old school Luger-look, and the all-metal weight sure feels better in the hand. I want reliability, so I guess I'll pick whichever one is better there....thoughts? |

I either own, or have owned buckmarks and rugers. But the victory is what I keep putting the suppressor back on. Had, just swapped the grips when I took this pic, hence the missing screw.

Update:
The enabler lady at the fun store called me today and told me to come get my toy. No pictures yet - you've all seen an M&P22C before - but I removed the mag safety, polished the hammer engagement just for a moment, and ran a handful of ammo through it. Everything from CCI 'quiet' subsonic to remington subsonic, remington golden bullet, federal champion, federal automatch, and winchester '42 max'. So it runs with light subs, it runs with the really hot '42 max' stuff, and it runs with everything in between, including the remington golden bullet garbage. Obviously, with the can, it's not as quiet with regular ammo as, say, a rifle with subsonic stuff, but it's quiet enough. So far so good.
