Which 22lr pistol will shoot most any cheap ammo with the fewest failures?

Although not too common...my S&W 622 target model, shoots ANYTHING I put in it! High or low velocity, cheap or expensive, DOESN'T MATTER. I would like to get a scope for it someday. It is kind of a pain to clean it well. The takedown is easy, but the gun gets really dirty inside after a few hundred rounds.

I, too, have a Browning Buckmark. Handles everything I put through it. Have shot a few thousand round through it and it jammed once. Besides, it's really fun to shoot.

I have had a few semi auto 22s, walther, sig, ruger, s&w, beretta, and bersa. and I have to say they were all good firearms, once broken in, a lot, with the exception of the Bersa, that gun worked 110% from the first shot out of the box, as long as it was any sort of high velocity rd that had power enough to work the slide the gun fired every time no matter brand of ammo, kind of sorry I traded it, probably get another one

Any version of the Ruger Mark III, II or I that I have ever shot has never been picky about ammo. The Browning Buckmark series seems to be a favorite of many as well. For every .22 semi-auto pistol that's picky there's always CCI mini mags.

My Ruger Single Six will shoot ANYTHING in the way of 22LR ammo. Maybe not as glitzy as a fancy semi-auto, but then again you can't fan a semi-auto like you can a single-action revolver. :haha:

My SR22 blows away the Walther any day!

Anyone have a Rossi Plinker .22LR Revolver? They look like a really nice gun, just wondered how reliable they are?

9 round revolver

Arminus used to make a revolver with interchangeable .22 -- .22 Mag cylinders

What's it for? I have a S&W .22 Sport for plinking and letting the kids shoot. Never had an issue after 1000's of rounds, but you wouldn't be able to conceal it worth a damn

Love the Beretta Bobcat 21A but it only likes HV ammo like CCI velocitors or mini mags. Standard ammo must have enough recoil to rack the slide consistently. Never FTE with the HV ammo but the standard ammo about 1 every 10.

My Rugear 22-45 bull barrel will shoot most anything well.

I've got an old ruger RST4, about 40 years old that has shot every kind of load imaginable. It has bounced around in my PU truck, been carried on the tractor and the combine, gets cleaned at least once a year well, maybe a little more often than that. (It has been kept in excellent condition but when the tractor or combine dust is on it, it has always performed well) And has more miles in a saddle than Roy Rogers.
When my father-in-law passed, they gave me an ammo box of old ammo from his father-in-laws era. There was a bunch of old military .22 and some remington in a box that I recognized from the '40's or early 50's and all that stuff went through it just fine as well. It finally broke down a year ago and a gunsmith friend had it up and running with just one part. I still trust that gun explicitly. And it shoots where I aim.
