There, fixed it for you.Ruger is a pro at making improvements to someone else's designs.
Except that "caliber" is actually a reference to bore diameter, and cartridge refers to the actual round used.I understand the slang for .22 cal. But I think the correct caliber in .22 in shelf products to the above mentioned semi-autos and revolvers is ".22LR" (long rifle) caliber. Most typical at the range and on the varmit hunt.
Of the small ones and under $400, I would choose the Ruger SR22P. Have one and it is very reliable. The problem with the tiny ones is they are often not reliable (feeding jams mostly). The SR22P is small enough to tuck into a pocket and it's very light and still reasonably practical for actually hitting something at more than 10 feet.
I'll tell ya in reference to the HP22a, I often leave it at home on range days simply because I find myself not putting it down because it is so much fun to shoot and I end up neglected the other guns I bring with me that day.
Are those still in production? If so, are they decent guns?$199? Kinda out there on the price. I gave a hundred bucks for mine a year or so ago.
Nope, not for over 20 years.Are those still in production? If so, are they decent guns?
Mine is fun to shoot, but being used, and over twenty years old has a couple minor problems. Sometimes stovepipes a new round coming out of the magazine, and the safety lever thend to loosen, and move to the safe position while being fired. I think a little tinkering, and I'll have it runing fine.Iver Johnson was a U.S. firearms, bicycle, and motorcycle manufacturer from 1871 to 1993.
