coastalfreak Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Looking for a nice lightweight trail gun with cheap, lightweight ammo. So, the .22LR seems like the perfect round. Anyone carry a .22LR? If so, what round do you carry? Bonus question: What's your favorite .22LR handgun?

Sudsy Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Handgun: Ruger Single 6 in .22 mag with the 9.5" barrel Accurate as hell and loads of fun to shoot If I didn't live in the Peoples Republic of NJ I'd squirrel hunt with it Love my Remington 513 match rifle, a tack driver, but way to heavy to tote around as a trail gun.

afterhours Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 My buddy has a sw victory .22, nice accurate not too heavy. I know it's a target gun but i'd imagine it would make a great trail gun.

saltfisherman Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Ruger mark 3 with bull barrel. Accurate as hell. Heavy but fun to shoot. Volquartsen the heck out of it plus added red dot. If I was to carry a 22, I’d go with a wheel gun like mentioned above. Two different cylinders 22L and 22 mag. 22mag is cleaner to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudsy Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Nice I rarely shoot my Mark III anymore because it's such a PIA to clean Should probably sell it Billy77 1 I just wanta play everyday despite small nagging injuries -- and go home to a woman who appreciates how full of crap I truly am. ~ Crash Davis Social Distancing since 1962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that bad, flip it this way then flip it that way. For the extra minutes to clean it is well worth the it, compared to the amount of time we use it.

DEM Parking Lot Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I personally don't carry but I would think the .22 mag would be a little more reliable caliber than the lr. I used to have a Taurus PT.22; light little pistol and ate pretty much anything I put through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets locked up every once and a while but I think it’s because of the filthy ammo I ran through it.

Kima Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I have a Rough Rider too. The thing is a blast to shoot and I've never had any kind of hiccup. It was on sale at Cabela's for $120 and I had some gift cards, so I ended up paying $13 for it. Best $13 I ever spent. grumpy247, coastalfreak and LBI SurfRat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolly mon Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I assume by carrying you mean for personal defense , It wouldn't be my first choice but if it's all I had I would and I'd use CCI Stingers , Now if you mean it as a camp / fishing gun I'm all in on that . The years that I lived in Alaska I learned that a Handgun for Bear protection is pretty much worthless for anything else and a Rifle is better anyway , So many times I could have used a 22 to pop a Bunny , Ptarmigan or Grouse so I started carrying a Ruger Single Six oax and coastalfreak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather carry a shotgun w/ slugs or a .45-70 than any handgun. jolly mon 1 "It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes" -Zac Brown Band "A leader is someone who keeps their head when everyone else is losing theirs." -Bryant Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
