Jeff over at gunblast did a pretty good review
http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-SR22P.htm

If it's like he says and eats anything you feed it and me being 100% lefty i'm VERY interested.

I dig it, looks pretty kool

It looks so much like the Walther.

Gunblast has never met a weapon they didn't love. They are a continuation of the old gun tags we all hate and are not to be considered as neutral, unbiasesd commentary.

My thoughts exactly.

Handled one today. Assuming there are no recalls, I'm going to pick one up. I know it's pretty subjective, but seems to be a very clean and solid little pistol. The proof is obviously going to be in how it performs.

I handled one today too. Quite nice and actually pretty damn different than a P22. I want one.

I want one. I have been on the fence regarding my next firearm purchase, and this looks pretty good.

I like Ruger firearms, but that thing is fugly something fierce. Walther comparison is apt though. Even as ugly as it is though, I would still be curious to see how well it shoots, if its half as well as the p22 shoots then it should sell well.

I was thinking a ton like a p22
but for me because the lines, and one of the few with ambi safeties.

I've been lucky enough to chat with Jeff from gun blast and he may be a bit bias regarding American companies and have close connections at ruger
but i applaud how fast he gets pictures and reviews up about NEW weapons with a tons of great pictures.

THe M&P .22 pistol
The new sp 101 .22
The new LCR 8-shot .22
and now a new SR .22 auto.

If the price is "reasonable" my eye is on this SR-22

(i have an old three bolt ruger single six i got back when i was in high school and love it but hate the single action and having to empty/load one at a time)

I got to hold and molest a M&P22 pistol at the gun show but he wanted more than i paid for my M&P9c with 4 mags NIB :eek:

is it tiny like the P22?

I would call it groovy.It's got"grooves" everywhere. Even in places where you don't need grooves. Groovy!

It's pointless, it's no better than the 22/45 they already offer at roughly the same price. I'm not big on decockers and double/single action pistols of any type, so I am biased. Smith did it right with the MP-22 and I wish Glock and Springfield would see the light and offer their polymer handguns in .22.

Looks like another "inspired" design much like the Kel-Tec PF9/LC9:

The sights on this are plastic and I have a feeling this will be no better than a Walther or SIG.

The fact that the launch of this product doesn't already come with a threaded barrel is bullshit.

These companies continue to make the same ****ing mistakes over and over again.

The fact that the launch of this product doesn't already come with a threaded barrel is bullshit.

Perhaps they're more concerned initially with making it legal for sale in places like California, rather than appealing to a tiny percentage of buyers that give a crap about a threaded barrel on a .22 pocket pistol.

These companies continue to make the same ****ing mistakes over and over again.

I predict it will be a mistake that will set record sales.

Having actually handled one, it's as much a 1911 as a CZ75 is....

Has anyone run a case of ammo through it yet? I have yet to see a .22lr service pistol copy that runs as well as a Ruger MK-series or Browning Buckmark.

Nothing Ruger releases excites me, on the contrary, they just keep pumping out low tier product aimed squarely at really young twenty somethings, with stupid adolescent-centric names like the "Zombie Slayer" I'll pass on them now, and forever...

BTW, whatever happened to their 1911, the one that the "ahh" gun media had dubbed the bestest 1911 ever? I've heard that they've had serious tooling issues, as a result can only produce about 100 of them a week. That company just cannot produce a quality centerfire pistol....:bad:

Got to handle a couple of these at SHOT yesterday. The decocker/safety lever really frustrated me. Since the gun is small, the lever falls where my shooting thumb normally rests. Being a long time 1911 shooter, whenever there is a lever underneath my thumb, I have a tendancy to rest on it and push it down. With this gun, it decocks the gun and render it unshootable until you flip the lever back up. The trigger is heavy and long for the DA mode, not conducive to good marksmanship or training new shooters.

Does it have a potmetal slide?

All junkers probably licensed out to the same toy/airsoft company.

Some "choices" that would really spark my interest would be:

.22 PP/PPK
.22 Beretta Model 70
.22 HK4

I'm just glad they have a tactical rail on there for lights/lasers!...

I think I'll just stick with my 22/45.

I put a few hundred rounds thru mine last Sunday. It ran flawlessly, and shot to POA once I adjusted the sights.

It's a fun little plinker and well built...far from a POS Walther P22:
