HELP! .22LR Recommendations

[okie john]

I have a Ruger Bisley .22, which is basically a Bear Cat with a different trigger, hammer, and grip.

I believe the Bisley Single Six is based on the standard Single Six, and that the Bear Cat is a much smaller piece. I've owned both. The 22 Bisley is beg enough that I could shoot it pretty well, but the Bear Cat was just too darned small.

I am sure you are correct. I am a little bit rusty on the Ruger .22 nomenclature. I really like the Bisley, and originally intended to purchase a .44 to match it, but never got around to it. Nice gun, but single action revolvers are not ideal for little kids just learning to shoot as previously stated.

Ok,

I picked up the Browning 1911-22 compact for the girls; hand fit is great and it's built exactly like a 1911 only 85% size so doing some trigger work will be no problem. No mutant pistol here.

I also picked up the Sig Mosquito mostly because I thought it was neat and my oldest should be able to use it some. The trigger is pretty bad! After taking a look inside, that will be an engineering project; I'll let y'all know how that works out!

So far the 1911-22 eats whatever it's fed. The Sig is a bit pickier but that should be ok; it's not near as picky as a Glick conversion I had.

Thanks for the help! I'll put some more info up after Saturday's range trip!

If it is grip size, then the Sr22 or the P228 13 would be good choices. If you are concerned with control manipulation, then I would suggest the 422 or the 622.

Having kids at the low end of the height charts I feel your pain. I will say that my M&P 22 eats everything that I feed it. The grip may be a bit big, but they will grow into them.
