What's your favorite .22 pistol?

Hi,
My only one so I guess it's my favorite one is a Ruger Mk II target. It has a 5 1/2 inch barrel and I had the sides slabed to lighten it up, polished the crown, added a Clark trigger,bushing and pin. I have Clark's grips also, but they get swicthed back and forth with the stock ones, can't make my mind up.

It also has an UltaDot.

How long does it take you to decide which one goes to the range?

Tigerbeetle: gorgeous.

Some days are easier than others. Normally take two at a time to the range - Deciding which ones to leave behind is the tough decision...

I have MK I's, MK II"s and MK III's and a couple of Standards. It's hard to pick one. My two favorites are my MK I Target and my MK II Target.

I have a solution for OpsMgr, you need a bigger range bag that way nobody has to stay home

. Downside is doubling the cleaning

.
Geezer was it hard to add the finish on your Mk II? It looks good.

Now that looks good but I would need a strong young man to put it in the back of my SUV and take it out at the range.

Not hard at all. I had it done for me by someone else. lol If you want to PM me, I'll put you in touch with my guy. He does exceptional work and is very reasonable. I'm looking for my 22/45 frame in today's mail. I did the grip mod on it and had him Duracoat it for me.

Hi Geezer,
Thanks but I'm still messing around with my pistol and when I'm done I might try a bake on finish myself, just to say I did it and to save $$$$.
When you have a chance take some pics of your 22/45 I like to see them.

Good looking pistol, geezer.

I like the two tone look on your 22/45. What do use use it for? Plunking, hunting or targets.
