What .22 lb pistol to buy?

[dromia]

Having shot the base Buckmark (horrible balance)

My CZ 75 SPO1 hasn't a great balance front heavy, but shoots accurately and is one of the most popular handguns here.

So who does these in a long barrel version for the UK mainland?

No One that i am aware of.

I'd very much like to give yours a go.....

That could be arranged if you are ever over here.

I'm very happy with my K22 X-Trim Whisper. Although it is "plastic fantastic", the slide is solid steel. I have found my three 10 round magazines to be absolutely awful, maybe they've improved them since I received my K22 in February? My two 19 round magazines which are made of a different plastic and have a different body don't skip a beat. Hell of a lot of fun.



I've used a Buckmark, I didn't really bond with it although it was well made and accurate so I can understand fully why shooters embrace them. Haven't used any other .22 lbp's. Wouldn't say no to a go on a TSC but I'm wary of guns that use zamak in their construction.

Years ago I had a go with a CZ85 with wraparound hogue grips on an indoor range in Budapest, was a dream to shoot.

I had a tsc 1911. Had being the clue to what i thought of it :)
I have tried the xtrim and i was impressed by the feel and handling but the accuracy i have seen isnt for me. But to be fair only shot it with iron sights.
For me and the matches i want to shoot with lbp it has to be buckmark.
Reliable accurate and cheaper in most cases.
The vq from stockade is a gem but way out of my price league.

Also the Glock

You forget about the Sig 226 and the Volquartsen Mk III.

What's your budget?

[Oldskool]

budget is £800 ish

the buckmark ..... like somebody elses wife - be happy to have a go but I wouldnt want to take it home

Seems to be a toss up between the TSC - properly fettled and a K22 with nice mags .



now any one got one for sale

can you get rossi circuit judges? are they legal in the uk? looks like they have 18.5" barrels so i can't see why they wouldnt?

I have the S&W 22A. Nice weight and balance, adjustable rear sight, optics ready, easy to clean and the thing I really like about it is that it will cycle .22 sub sonic ammo no problem.

i dont think its ugly. Its reliable. Accurate. Light. Nice trigger.
by shopping around ive put together the above with belt holster and 9 mags for 710 quid.
