Most accurate 22lr pocket gun???

I've owned a half-dozen 'kit' .22's over the years. The best of them remain the 2" and 4" S&W .22/32 Kit Guns (later called the model 34, I believe) with adjustable sights.
A 4" Sport Ruger auto or Colt Woodsman also makes a great and accurate woods gun...if you have nice deep pockets.
The older Ruger Bearcats are also good little guns for the woods rover.
In a new gun bought today, I'd go to an auto pistol. The Browning Micro looks like a later version of the classic Colt Woodsman. And the Ruger Mark II comes in a 4" version. Both of these are reasonably compact and come with adjustable sights.
There's no need to go to a mouse-gun for your woods pistol...too much is sacrificed in thump and accuracy with their ultra short barrels and bum sights. A small light pistol is hard enough to hit with, without the addition of such handicaps.

Believe it or not I have had great luck with the Jennings .22 autos. I bought one about 11 years ago for $55 new in box.

This gun is TINY, accurate and reliable.

I have not heard much else about this gun nor have I seen many around but I am very impressed
with it.

Though I haven't participated much here yet I will at least add my two cents.
I own both a taurus PT-22, and a Pheonix HP22. The Taurus has been reliable as long as you stick with standard 22, and remeber the magazine holds only 8 rounds..You can get 9 in it, But after a call to taurus about feeding problems when new, i had a tech tell me to only load 8 as it was intended for.
Accuracy was decent out to 15 yards. With practice you can hold it on a 4" plate. If it had a single action trigger I bet it'll do alot better.
The Pheonix has been very reliable if not a bit heavy. Accuracy is surprisingly good out to 15 yards..I can keep it all in the black on a standard 25 yd target...
I prefer the taurus myself, only because of the extra safety of the DAO trigger...
Good luck picking something..I handgun is such personal choice thing..Go with what feels confortable to you, or you'll be unhappy.

:cool: :cool: :cool:
 
find an older Smith 1953 mod 34 22/32 kit gun. No one has ever made a finer woods companion firearm. I have owned one for over 30 years, and it has never, not even just once, let me down.

Accuracy? Better than two inch groups at 25 yards, and one shot kills on birds or squirrels are not uncommon with the 3 inch barrel and CCI stingers.
