The m&p is like $350 brand new and comes threaded. Why would you even look at anything else?

Fuck no. Mk IV all day long. My SR22 is such a piece of shit. I love my Mk IV lite though. |

Maybe I just got unlucky. I haven't shot that piece of shit in years because I hate it so much, but I can't bring myself to scam someone else by selling it to them. Maybe I should send it back to Ruger and have them look at it. I love my Mk IV lite though. View Quote |

Quoted: No. The Lite's have a slim barrel with an aluminum shroud. You can see it in the pictures. I would agree that they are not as accurate as the heavy barreled guns, but still plenty accurate... and very light. View Quote |

.22 hosts I own...
P22 S&W 422 Ruger Lite Browning Buckmark TX 22 I like them all. But I love the 422. |

I have the MkIV 22/45 tactical. Stupid easy, replicates 45. The tac model is heavy though.

Ruger Mark IV for the target-style.
Walther PPK/S in .22 for the sleeker, smaller style. You will need an adapter, but the barrel is threaded... |

I'm sure those Ruger's work well but damn I think they are ugly.

CP33.
I just got mine, something like $469 before tax. Have not tried it with a suppressor yet. Magazines are a bit of a pain to fill up all the way. Also not sure what red dot sight/red dot type of sight I will buy for it. |

Out of the box, the Smith Victory is the best .22 threaded with no work needed past removing the mag safety.
However, a Ruger Mark IV with full Volquarsten Competition kit installed will eat it's lunch. https://volquartsen.com/products/1293-pistol-competition-kit-for-mk-iv |

Can't you just buy an aftermarket threaded barrel/upper from someone like Volquartsen or the like? Swap it out as needed.

I believe I read the Buckmarks are difficult to disassemble. Any buckmark owners want to chime in?

Taurus sleeper. Put around 100 flawless suppressed rounds through it yesterday. Kinda fullsize though, but can be had with 16 round mags with plus 3 extensions. Actually striker fired too. https://i.imgur.com/g6rO2V2.jpg View Quote |

I've had a 22/45 for years and it's a champ. However, I've since gotten into suppressors and I got a TX22 a month ago and it's simply superb. I've had a handful of Taurus guns, including a PT92 that was a turd, but all others have been great.

Alright, so, changing directions:
There's an M&P Compact for sale on the internets. It's a bit of a drive but it's a good price with extra mags, etc. From what I read online the magazine safety can be removed and the trigger can be slicked up, fairly simply. Should I just go get that instead? It's threaded and has the adapter. |

View Quote The Buckmark is a fine pistol (it's my favorite among my .22 rimfires), but it has one HUGE flaw in my book: it cannot be dry fired safely. And I like to use dry fire as a no-cost training tool, so that means the Buckmark doesn't get much off-range practice. |

If you want a great trigger, get a Ruger MK of some flavor and install a Volquartzen trigger system in it. I have a MK III 22/45 lite set up so and the trigger is awesome. Deleted the LCI and mag Safety and had to polish a lip off of the feed ramp, but that little gun is the shit now. |

Ruger 22/45 or any of that line will serve you well. I got mine in 1995 and had it threaded. Still runs great, barely clean it. I would contend that the biggest gripe is the 10 round mags, which lead me to throw the CP33 into the mix. Early reviews are positive, but it's still a Keltec.

View Quote When I was a kid we would often drive off towards where one of the rural roads crossed the river near grandpa's house. We'd stop and pick up beer cans, or, gasp, old cardboard motor oil cans, on the way to the river. You could drop a rock or two (from the road itself) in a beer can, toss it upstream of the bridge, and when it floated out from under the bridge, we'd start shooting at it (from the bridge). In the winter when everything was frozen over we knew of a particular bridge over an almost still pool of water with a huge sweetgum tree. The sweetgum balls would freeze on the water's surface and we'd shoot them out of the ice. That was probably much more environmentally friendly than shooting cans. |

The firing pin will hit the breach face. I thought the don’t dry fire your 22 rumor was a myth for modern 22 pistol and rifle. That is until I bought a Buckmark. |

I believe that my current MKII has a Volq trigger. I bought it 15+ years ago. I was working in the area and stopped at lunch at a convenience/ sporting goods store to grab lunch. It had some finish issues but an obviously aftermarket trigger so I asked to see it. One dry fire and I got out my wallet and paid the asking price of $200.

You can't beat the Mark IV for the price. I don't think this is even a question.

TX22 is ok for mimicking a carry gun. Lighter, much more ergonomic and nicer trigger too.
You can get a much more realistic .22 copy of most pistols but the TX was just so nice to shoot I couldn’t go that route. |
