I am new to ruger talk. I am curious what do ya'll think of the SR22; I have heard that its all in all a great pistol, but I have heard some mixed reviews
thanks
thanks
This is up to you, but as I have said, the SR22P isnt as accurate as the Mark pistols. Is there any way you can keep the Mark, and buy the SR22P also? Best of both worlds. The SR22P is nice and light and makes a good sidearm, where the Mark pistol makes a good target gun, suitable for the range.This is some great info....I was thinking of replacing my Mark III with one of the SR22......I may think some more about it...
thanks for the welcome shooterWelcome to the Ruger Talk Forum !!
Thanks for the feedback....I believe I would keep my Mark III and get a SR22.....love the way you think...lolThis is up to you, but as I have said, the SR22P isnt as accurate as the Mark pistols.

My fathers an FFL, so that'll be no big deal to get em both. More fun that way anywayThe SR22 has been good for me and does fine simulating my 9mm pocket pistols, but in 22. I've had no problems so far.
As far as accuracy, it's hard to compare the long sight radius, such as the Mk III, to short sight radius guns such as the SR22.
Accuracy of the SR22 at 10-20 feet has been great. But at 25 yards I shoot it no better or worse than my other short sight radius models (LCR, LC9, Nano). I always am able to shoot better at longer ranges with the longer sight radius models, regardless of the specific model. It's the nature of the short sight radius that being a little off amplifies the impact being off more down range.
If you want to bullseye competition level accuracy beyond 15 yards, use the long barrel (and sights) such as the MkIII. If you want a compact, fun shooter at statistically common defensive ranges, the SR22 does great. Better yet, have them both.
