Ruger SR series of pistols?

I´m curious on the SR22 pistol. Looking to get one, including a suppressor. They are cheap and come threaded...

I´m a little concerned on the trigger pull as it has a load of useless safety features...

Anyone care to comment?
 
not really the same thing. the SR22 is a hammer fired, single stack, compact. it uses a fully interchangeable grip(not backstrap), oversized safety switch and of course, the slide is made of lighter, cheaper metals to allow it to operate with the low recoil of 22lr.

two completely different animals.

IMHO it's serviceable. Not awful but not great. A bit creepy. The double-action pull is not bad- lighter than a lot of older European .32/7.65 automatics, but not as smooth as a good revolver.

Don't forget that it also has a DA/SA trigger, rather than being pre-set striker-fired like the centerfire versions. Also, just to clarify, the entire grip sleeve comes completely off the pistol; it's different than the partially interchangeable grips found on pistols such as the centerfire SR's and the S&W M&P.

Frankly, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the SR22 (and the very similar Walther/Umarex P22). The Ruger Mk-series pistols are far superior and don't cost that much more, and Ruger has now offered a few variants that come threaded.

Also, if the Browning Buckmark is offered in Norway, it's quite easy to suppress; I'm totally unfamiliar with Norwegian firearms law, but in the USA, the frame of a Buckmark carries the serial number rather than the receiver. Hence, the frame is legally considered to be the firearm, so a threaded barreled receiver can be freely bought and sold by mail order without the involvement of a licensed dealer and the requisite paperwork. This is not the case with the Ruger Mk-series, which carries the serial number on the barreled receiver.

Pardon the thread drift. :)
 
I had bad experiences with mine, and my friend has had issues with his. I think it is ok for the price, but there are other guns at the same price that are better.

Specifically, the Walther PPX is an outstanding gun at any price, but isn't more than the SR series. The Sig SP2022 come to mind as well.

An M&P or Glock would be outstanding choices, I would strongly encourage you to find another $1-200 and buy what you want. Over the long term, the price of the gun is minimal compared to that of ammo, holsters, and (hopefully) lots of training.
 
I have the Ruger SR9, Sr9c, and a Glock 27 among many others. My EDC was the SR9c. (now carrying a revolver). Between the 2 Rugers I would advise the SR9C. More versatile. It carries well with the 10 round magazine but also can feed the 17 round. The Glocks can do the same, but they are a bit thicker than the Rugers.
