The time to buy HKs is when they have rebates. You could have bought a P30 for $650 after $200 rebate this winter. They might do it again this winter, hopefully.

I applaud your desire to improve your skills with a .22 rather than buy another centerfire gun.
A couple of thoughts.
If you want to work on your marksmanship skills. (stance, grip, sight alignnment, sight picture, trigger press, follow through etc. ), the ruger MkII or 22/45 is a better choice. The SR22 is a nice little gun, but its not accurate enough to teach you a whole hell of a lot.
If you are leaning towards a .22, please answer this. Are you open to a single action traditional style gun? Or do you want something that looks like a shrunken centerfire gun?
I ask because I was about to recommend you take a look at the Buckmark. Its a very nice gun if you don't like the idiosyncrasies of the Ruger Mk III.
If you want something that looks like a "real" gun, take a look at the CZ. They make a dedicated .22 that is identical to a CZ75 and is all steel (I believe).

While the Sig226 has a higher bore axis than the G19 (1.3" vs 0.9") the H&K Bore axis (at least for the VP9) is identical to the G19 at 0.9". Although since the poster does not want a Glock the point is moot.
Of course since the orignal post was looking for a 9MM and now we talking SR22 maybe this entire thread is moot?

I'm not looking to really improve in shooting I'm good enough to hit someone should the need arise. I don't shoot quarter groupings every time but range time is just nice to do something. I don't have the time to become super profecient. So for now it's just a fun hobby. I liken it to golf I hit what I'm aiming at enough to get me to come back. But let's see the sr22 is on the list because of reliability I heard it eats anything out of the box. That was really why I gravitated towards it and the buckmarks to me aren't my thing. However the cz love here had piqued my interest. So next week I will be exploring those options. Along with the fns but I think at the end if the day it'll be the ppq. Just everything I'm looking for. Great trigger. Great lines just a sexy functional piece all around. That or a g20 lol

Do you mean the PPQ .22? I can't hit squat with mine, maybe it's me, but I find it disappointing.
Really?
ppq 22lr is the finest little 22 i have found. Just as reliable as SR22 but better overall feel and trigger.
FYI the ppq 22 is the exact same gun as M&P 22 pistol. Both made by walther and internals are identical.

Interesting, didn't know that. Could be the sights, or maybe cause it's so light, but I don't get good groupings at all with it.
make sure your rear sight is snug. there's a 1/16" hex head that holds the rear sight in place. if it's not snug the sight will move, which is actually convenient as a sight pusher isn't needed to adjust windage.
>>round out the 9mm collection already have a 226 stainless elite(love it)
>>collection already have a 226 stainless elite
>>already have a 226 stainless elite
Collection finished.
Joking aside, I'd probably vote for the VP9 or G19/G17. I like the VP, the mag release isn't bad once you practice it, and the stock trigger is really smooth.
Someday I'll get a G19 or G26 of my own...

Me.
226 Tacops, M11a1, P320, Shield... Sold my VP9 because I hated the mag release...
G19 is solid, but I have no need for it. It's like buying a Camry when I have my garage full of BMW's...

I know how to get them but don't own a Glock, haven't warmed up to striker fired yet.

Unless you want to own two Glocks. Then you can specialize. A G26 and a G34
