Far more exciting than the Glock 44

[Acmemfg]

Seeing as all the exotica is coming out....
-Browning Hi-Power. More history than the Encyclodepia Britannica.
-CZ75. It just screams Cold War. Ironically it didn't come out until around 1975.

That P7 is totally impressive. NJ State Police surely showed some style when they picked that one

I had a CZ 97 in .45 for a while. That thing was a handful, and heavy.

My nephew still has his fathers old Hi Power. I never could shoot that gun.

Now you can get the same trusted reliability and durability in a .22 LR caliber pistol.

“While many .22 LR firearms exhibit tendencies to function differently with particular ammunition types, the G44 pistol functioned to near perfection,”

I don't buy it one bit.

I've never met a semi-auto rimfire that's every bit as reliable as a centerfire. My Ruger MKIV is about as reliable as I ever found and it still chokes on certain ammo.

Some, are meant to do both.

Question: is that pistol in that pic really any prettier than a Glock? Or just the wood grips that are on it? Because those wood grips are pretty.

I concur, sir...

A P7 is a pretty gun.

I don’t either. If it won’t happen with a 10-22 it won’t happen with any other gun either.

I'd be hard pressed to think of a handgun uglier than a Glock lol. The 'utilitarian' look of Glocks, and others, has never really appealed to me. Many Sigs look utilitarian too, but at least they do it with class.

The Sig in the link quoted looks much nicer than any Glock and reminds more of an a blued Baby Eagle or a Hamerelli than anything else.

Its beautiful.

I really like the low profile combat sights, extended beavertail grip, tapered mag bumper and the shape of the safety and slide release levers. It also has a normal size mag release but I might like that better if it wasnt cut on an angle. I am surprised it doesnt have ambi controls though.

It has nice smooth lines too. No sharp edges to get hung up on anything and being an 8 round 9mm, I bet its slim too. The more I look at it the more I like it.

Glock, blah. You tell me which is prettier lol.

Although I am a Glock fan, this is one beautiful pistol: Ruger Mark IV

I'm a Ruger fan, but don't own one of those. I have a friend who brings his over to my hillbilly firing range though! Too fun.

Have a pic of the same pistol without the wood panels?

It doesnt seem like that have one without the wood grips. Just the Standard above and this, the P210 Target.

If only it was blued as nicely as the original P210-1.

I want a new 22 pistol. Something reliable in a semi auto. I was looking at an SR22. I didn’t think it pretty or ugly, but it seems to be kinda reliable. Are any of these beautiful pistols known for reliability?

The Ruger Mark II bull barrel I had never jammed until more than a brick of ammo went through it in a single session and it was in need of cleaning long before that. I also took it down to the club for an annual Open House and it was shot a lot over a weekend. There were no issues with it during the shoots but it was stripped down and cleaned between days.

We had 985 people through the club that Open House weekend and I'd bet 900 of them shot it.

The Browning Medalist never jammed either.

I shot a S&W M41 quite a bit. The instructor at the first gun club I joined had one he let all his students use and we used it, extensively lol. The trigger on it and the Browning is superb.

The trigger on the Beretta is very good too and while I didnt shoot it as much as the others, it never jammed on me.

Of them all, its hard to beat the Ruger.

+ 1 on Ruger .22 LR semi-autos. Easy to customize if desired. Had a few, all work fine.

I have one of the new Walther PPK/S 22LR and surprisingly it has eaten every brand of ammo I've tossed at it including stuff like bulk pack Federal and Remington stuff.

Right now I seems to see them on sale right around $200.00 or so.

Now THAT is a pretty gun, with no wood.

Pretty cool. You are the king of tiny guns!

For current tiny fun guns the Tarus PT-22 and the Beretta Bobcat are even smaller than the Walther but also slightly more picky when it comes to ammo.

They are both tip up barrels and so easier for some folk who have trouble racking the slide on little guns.

I have had a Bobcat for a long time. I like it a lot. The tip up barrel is great when I use it for a trap line gun as I can just use it as a single shot. Mine likes cci mini mags but isn’t as fun for plinking and target shooting. It‘s pretty accurate but the sight radius makes long shots difficult. The reduced power from the shortie barrel is very fur friendly on the line though.
