If you were restricted to, two, .22 caliber handguns. 1 semi-auto. 1 double action revolver, which would you choose, and why.
Thanks fellas.

I have a Sig 1911-22 that I love. Only .22 semi I have, so not much to compare to.

No comment on the revolver. My dad did pass along a S&W Model 41 to me and it's been the most accurate 22 auto I've shot.

And semi auto, I love everything about the Ruger Mark series EXCEPT the wretched disassembly..

Ruger 22/45 Mk II, target comp if you can find one. The assembly on the 22/45 is way way easier. Smith Wesson 63 4" pre-lock

Thanks fellas. The semi might be a little tough, I've got a Model 41 S&W but the little Rugers are hard to beat. My absolute favorite 22 revolver is my old S&W K-22 but you can just about bet the farm theres a well used Ruger Single Six sitting in my safe some where.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Y'all are awesome. Thank you. I'm seriously looking at the Ruger 22-45 lite, but keep hearing the disassembly process is a nightmare.
Having said that, also going to take a close look at the Smith M317 & 617.

I would get the Ruger Mark 2, with like a heavier 4" threaded barrel
As for the revolver, one of those Taurus with a long barrel (preferable 5" or longer) and has a capacity of 9 shots.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

I have had the little sig and it was a pos. That being said a friend of mine has had one with zero issue. My new Ruger sr22 has been money. Eats all the ammo that I have tried and fun to shoot. Good luck with your quest.

I would not worry about Ruger 22/45 disassembly. Unless shooting in competitions, don't have to clean it after each range trip. Clean it 3-4 times per year works for me.

I love my Hi-Standard Sport King (has the changeable barrels, one heavy target, one standard) and it is OLD. My best friend has the .22/45 and it's a tackdriver a well.

The Mark series Rugers are easy to take down and reassemble once you understand the mechanism. They're great pistols.
The S&W Model 17 is a great revolver and is hard to beat! The 18 is a great revolver also but a little scarce.

S&W 617 because it is a joy to shoot S&W MP-15 22 Pistol because everyone wants to shoot it when you take it to the range...
