**pbmaster2k89** · 10-26-10, 11:08

what .22Lr handguns would you guys recommend that are capable of mounting a laser site?

They are all 'capable' but what is the purpose of this setup?

Not to be a smart ass but why in the world do you need a WML on a .22 handgun? Are you trying to use it as a training aid for low light?

Off the top of my head I dont think that dog hunts in the market place... I could be wrong as I have never looked for one...

yes it is for training purposes. not so much low light though

S&W makes the 22A-1 with a rail, however the one i had was unreliable.

Berretta makes the U22 Neos but the grip is way too small and the sights suck.

Ruger MarkIII's have the option of mounting a rail.

And Browning makes several Buckmarks with factory mounted rails that still retain the iron sights, though any buckmark can have a rail mounted, but the aftermarket rails lose the rear sight.

Walther also offers a version of the SP22 that has an upper and lower rail.

All of the ones except for the Walther mount the rails up top for optics usage.

The Ruger Mark III with a Tactical Solutions upper would be my recommendation. (You would need the non-fluted version for the picatinny rail mounted under the barrel)

If it is a training aid, then why not go with a standard 1911, Glock, Sig, etc., with a 22Cal conversion kit?
