I want to replace the S&W model 17 that I gave to my mother. Michlle has a preference for autoloaders, so it will be one of the following: S&W Model 41, Browning Buckmark (which sub-model?), Ruger Mk.II slab-barrel target model or ...?
I owned a Colt Cadet bull-barrel .22 and do not want another one.
My reservations about the S&W are:
-how hard/easy is it to field strip?
-reliability with variety of ammo
-availability/price of magazines?
-10rd mags when the design called for 12
About Mk.II
-Field-stripping...is there any way to learn it?
About Buckmark
-Does it keep zero after cleaning?
-Reliability?
Other contenders include Beretta 84
-accuracy/reliability/availaviity of extra mags?
Bersa whatevermodelnumber is:
-same? durability, too?
Any other ideas. I am open to spending up to $750 on new or used .22 with at least four magazines. I would like to use it mainly for target practice and also for teaching newbies.
