View Full Version : 22 LR Auto
I'm looking for a 22 LR autoloader for a survival gun. I've heard that many of them are quite finicky about what kind of ammunition you use. I've looked at SIG Mosuitos, Rugers, Walthers, S&Ws, Brownings and others. What is your experience? I'm looking for reliability.
rugers hands down.
extreme version would be to find a 22/45 (poly frame) with a tacsol upper (aluminum)

Ruger Mark II simple, rugged and reliable.
Buckaroo
The Ruger line of semi autos really are the gold standard for reliability, durability, and sustainability.
They're also extremely shootable and accurate.
Ruger MK II is hard to beat!
Im happy with my 22/45 MKIII after getting rid of the mag disconnect. Buckmarks are very nice too. I've shot the rest and those are the only two I would personally consider buying.
A .22lr handgun in a survival kit of my packing would ideally be very compact and very accurate. I believe my first choice would not be an autoloader but the 3" or 5" version of the S&W J frame Model 63. It's 8 shots nowadays.
Rugers have a good reputation for sure and if the gun is to be used extensively I guess the bulk may be worth it. Probably not to me however.

once i put an aftermarket extractor in my MKII it's been about as ammo sensitive as a glock :D that thing eats whatever you feed it. great gun... very accurate too.
