Jeff over at gunblast did a pretty good review
http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-SR22P.htm
If it’s like he says and eats anything you feed it and me being 100% lefty i’m VERY interested.
I dig it, looks pretty kool
It looks so much like the Walther.
Gunblast has never met a weapon they didn’t love. They are a continuation of the old gun tags we all hate and are not to be considered as neutral, unbiasesd commentary.
My thoughts exactly.
Safety works backwards
Handled one today. Assuming there are no recalls, I’m going to pick one up. I know it’s pretty subjective, but seems to be a very clean and solid little pistol. The proof is obviously going to be in how it performs.
I handled one today too. Quite nice and actually pretty damn different than a P22. I want one.
I want one. I have been on the fence regarding my next firearm purchase, and this looks pretty good.
I like Ruger firearms, but that thing is fugly something fierce. Walther comparison is apt though. Even as ugly as it is though, I would still be curious to see how well it shoots, if its half as well as the p22 shoots then it should sell well.
I was thinking a ton like a p22
but for me because the lines, and one of the few with ambi safeties.
I’ve been lucky enough to chat with Jeff from gun blast and he may be a bit bias regarding American companies and have close connections at ruger
but i applaud how fast he gets pictures and reviews up about NEW weapons with a tons of great pictures.
THe M&P .22 pistol
The new sp 101 .22
The new LCR 8-shot .22
and now a new SR .22 auto.
choices choices choices
If the price is “reasonable” my eye is on this SR-22
(i have an old three bolt ruger single six i got back when i was in high school and love it but hate the single action and having to empty/load one at a time)
I got to hold and molest a M&P22 pistol at the gun show but he wanted more than i paid for my M&P9c with 4 mags NIB :eek:
is it tiny like the P22?
I would call it groovy.It’s got"grooves" everywhere. Even in places where you don’t need grooves. Groovy!
It’s pointless, it’s no better than the 22/45 they already offer at roughly the same price. I’m not big on decockers and double/single action pistols of any type, so I am biased. Smith did it right with the MP-22 and I wish Glock and Springfield would see the light and offer their polymer handguns in .22.
Looks like another “inspired” design much like the Kel-Tec PF9/LC9:

The sights on this are plastic and I have a feeling this will be no better than a Walther or SIG.
The fact that the launch of this product doesn’t already come with a threaded barrel is bullshit.
These companies continue to make the same fucking mistakes over and over again.
Perhaps they’re more concerned initially with making it legal for sale in places like California, rather than appealing to a tiny percentage of buyers that give a crap about a threaded barrel on a .22 pocket pistol.
I predict it will be a mistake that will set record sales.
Other than a slight cosmetic resemblance, they appear to be quite different designs.
Having actually handled one, it’s as much a 1911 as a CZ75 is…
Has anyone run a case of ammo through it yet? I have yet to see a .22lr service pistol copy that runs as well as a Ruger MK-series or Browning Buckmark.
