Where is the sarcasm note
But I digress, SW 617, love shooting plates and beating semi guys.
Any Ruger MK model, totally customizable

Well, with 10 rounds its not like you have a capacity disadvantage. ;- )
A 6" 617 is my next purchase. But I'm not going to pay through the nose to get it immediately.

No. Sorry. Its the Sig Mosquito. Laser like accuracy and the reliability of an AK47, combined with fine German craftsmanship. It doesn't get any better.
; -)
My sig mosquito was appropriately named because it is as annoying as mosquito.
the stock feedramp needed work. Despite tweeking it, failure to fire is still a big issue compared to my SR22.
my vote for SR22 or markII
walther P22 or mark III would be my runners up

I'm the knucklehead who bought the Walther P22, went through the whole pistol a couple times to get it (sort of) reliable, and then realized it was too small for my hands.
So I bought a Mosquito.

I don't even have the excuse that I didn't know what a good (i.e., functioning) 22LR was like - I have a Ruger Mk II, S&W 17 and 22A, and have put in some serious time with Dad's Buckmark.
So, M&P 22 or SR22 next?

Shot my sr22 for the first time, i shot a total of 200 rounds.
50 rounds each of winchester super x, aguilla, armscor and some german made 22, forgot the brand.
All without a hickup, i'm sold on this little pistol.

Yet another vote for the SR22. Should I be embarrassed to admit that it's probably my favorite target handgun to shoot? ![[rolleyes]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/042.gif "Roll Eyes [rolleyes]")

agree.
with good quality ammo my SR22 approaches the reliability of any 9mm I own
Still loving my Ruger SR22 with over 4000 rounds through it, it won't eat everything but pretty close, some rounds just ain't made for an auto IMHO.
Little sucker hits the 12" gong at 100 yards on a good day, can't complain about that very much.

Ruger Mk2. Best 22 pistol I've ever owned. Had it for 6 years and I've never disassembled it for cleaning. A few drops of CLP once in a while and it always runs.
Which pretty much negates the complaints about cleaning. You really don't have to clean them very often.
I made a special tool to make it easier to open the mainspring. I'll get a pic of it tonight.

Not really. If you shoot them a lot they get dirty and needing a special tool to break down and or reassemble is annoying- again that is where I stand on it YMMV. That is why I dont have a ruger 22 rifle. The takedown 22 rifle however is a lot better as you can at least clean the barrel without disassembling the receiver...

Someone on this thread just described going four thousand rounds between cleanings, even if you shoot a lot it's not something you need to do often.
With respect to the 10 22, drilling a hole in the back of the receiver is a simple way to allow anyone to clean the barrel from the rear. One screw to remove the stock and you are at it
