My 22 pistols, sig 1911 22, Ruger sp101 and an old bearcat from the 70's. I also have a couple 22 long guns but they are pretty basic. A 10/22 and just got my 12 year old son a Ruger American 22(super accurate)Attachment 17417
I almost scrapped these pics because they SUCK! I decided to post them anyway just to be consistently crappy in the photography department!

Not all of my rim fire guns, just the most interesting, in my eyes at least.
The long gun is a Daisy, .22lr bolt action Legacy with adjustable synthetic stock. Accompanied by the Nikon ProStaff 22lr 4x scope, this is a tack driver.
The Luger with the black canvas micarta grips is a Stoeger and the one with the brown plastic grips is an Erma. The Erma was my Dad's and is the pistol that first turned me on to semi auto handguns. The Stoeger I bought for my wife because she loved Dad's Erma and I could not find an Erma for her. I made the micarta grips because the wood scales it came with were seriously shitty and ill fitting.
The revolver is an RG23 and was my first handgun experience ever. Once I proved to my dad That I could handle it safely and shoot proficiently with it, it became my personal side arm for our hunting trips. Loaded with .22 snake shot of course.
The American Arms PPK/22 is another of my Dad's guns that has more sentimental meaning than any real value. It is reliable and fairly accurate for the total PPS that it is.
That should read POS in reference to the PPK/22:rolleyes:
I love rimfires. Maybe I will post a pic after the move. Until then, I'm not really sure where they all are.
Ok yeah, I saw the factory model at $319 retail......... little steep for my tastes, especially since he already has a suppressor ready cricket, and will outgrow it in short order. Appreciate the info though.
I shoot both of these in club Bullseye matches:
Ruger Mk. III 22/45, with a Bushnell TRS-25 optic, a "Lam" bushing (replaces the mag safety) and a Volquartsen sear and trigger:

S&W Model 17-3:
Attachment 17451
I put on Pachs for match shooting, but other than that, I shoot it as-is.
That model 17-3 is just cool!
First .22 pistol I ever fired was a K-22 and by gawd I still wish I had one.

I have a 17-2 purchased back when they were reasonable (sub-$500 range). Until I got my silencer, it was my fav rimfire, but the silencer makes the 22/45 so cool. I do love the 17-2 with Aguila Colibris for plinking at deer camp. That's still quieter than the suppressed 22/45 (barely) and less danger of ricochets.

I really wish that I had bought more than one back in the day as my LE Distributor was almost giving them away. He said they had to take them to get the desirable allocated stuff back when that was a normal practice.
The thing has a very decent trigger, good sights, 8+1 capacity, weighs just over a pound and it will almost fit in your pocket. It shoots like a full-size gun back to about 15-20 yards and with standard high-speed ammo (no Stingers) it's accurate and reliable.
I would think a pistol like this would sell like crazy today, but what do I know. It didn't sell well the first time around for $200, but folks don't have any problem paying two and half times that much for a used one these days. I think there's currently just a single listing for one of each on Gunbroker.

I've got a 2214. What my four year old shoots. Sold my 2206 to Tamara not long ago. Good garage guns.
How about a 1961 125th anniversary Colt Frontier Scout, nickle, UNFIRED, in the presentation case. .22 Magnum, with spare .22LR cylinder.

Vudoo.
A subject near and dear to my heart...:D
Super Single Six, came to me with only the LR cylinder and the stocks already carved.

There's more but that's all I've got pictures for right now. My current "want" is one of the GP100 .22s but I haven't decided if I want to do that or throw some of that money at the 22/45 Lite for upgrades.
I really need to try a Mountie again. I had one and tried to like it but I was spoiled by the short throw of my BL-22 and I never could get used to it.
A limited edition ( so I was told, and by research looks true) 10/22T I bought way back when I was just a young pup. I even glass bedded the thing. Shoots a lot of loads into 1/2" or less 10 shot groups at 50 yards. I hardly shoot it anymore... and I've been tempted to find it a new home, but it was one of the first guns I ever bought, and it's pretty.

My latest is a Volquartsen VM-22: https://volquartsen.com/families/vm-22-rifle. It's mounted with an Athlon Midas Tac 4-16X44 mil/mil scope: https://athlonoptics.com/product/midas-tac-4-16x44-mil/. I haven't done much ammo testing yet but, it seems to like CCI Standard Velocity. Anticipated uses are a weekly 50-yard bench rest match and an Appleseed class this summer. It's great fun to shoot. Best, ELN.

My best friend's grandfather has always been an inspiration to us. He was a Lt Col in Vietnam and when inevitably asked by little boys if he'd ever killed anyone he'd always reply, "I sure as hell hope so, I shot at enough of those sumbitches." If Clint Eastwood told me he'd modeled Gran Torino after Lt Col Grandpa (which is how we refer to him), I'd believe it completely. He has gorgeous rows of pine trees he himself planted on the back 40 and has been known to trim the paths using a small chainsaw on a stick that he deftly wields from the seat of his 4-wheeler and I distinctly remember him doing that very thing on his 79th birthday and had to be fetched to come in for his own dinner. He's my freakin hero.
One thing about LtC Grandpa, though, he friggin hates raccoons. So he traps them and summarily executes them. When I lived close by, this duty fell to me. I hate shooting raccoons, hate, hate, hate it. But I do it a lot safer and quicker than LtCG is capable of, so for the sake of the doomed raccoon and anyone else withing a mile radius, I did my duty each time. Though I'm always armed, LtCG would usually want me to use whatever pistol he had in his pocket that day to get a function test accomplished, too. One morning, it was his oft carried Walther TPH, which cycled sluggishly with both rounds I fired. LtC G, "Good, thought maybe it was just me. Can you do something about it?" So, I gave it a thorough cleaning, lube and a new recoil spring, function fired a problem free mag and returned it with a fresh box of ammo.
About 6mos ago, LtC Grandpa decided he couldn't handle the farm by himself anymore and he was spending most of his time with his wife in the assisted living community she needs to be in, so he sold the place and became a resident with her. I'd not had a chance to visit my friend's new home and made up for that with a road trip to share bourbon and cigars on his back porch. At one point, my friend jumps up excitedly and says he'll be right back. As you're probably expecting, he returned with this TPH and says LtCG told him to make sure I got it. Confused, I say, "But he gave that to you when he first sold his house." He smiles and says, "He did, turns out he had two of them and he was adamant that you get the other one."
I don't know if it's the same one I cleaned up for him, but I'll always treasure it. It joins my growing stable of much loved family guns that have been handed down to me; my maternal great grandfather's cheap little .32 rimfire revolver that lived in his vest pocket, my great uncle John's double barrel blackpowder 12g, my paternal grandfather's Browning Buck Mark and my father's much used and abused Ruger Single Six with the magnum cylinder installed. And for a change, the gifter is alive to hear just how much I appreciate owning it.

Almost done.

I put this Volquartsen Scorpion together over the past two years, finally finishing it this week. The only Ruger part is the magazine. Grips, for now, are Hogue. The rest of the pistol is composed of Volquartsen parts that I accumulated as deals became available. The Volquartsen frame is anodized in a red that is more pink than red. That led to a substantial discount that frugal me likes.
I was able to shoot the "break in" rounds using S&B Subsonic (40-grain at 1017 fps). No functioning issues and twenty-five yard ten-shot groups went into less than an inch. The comp that came with the upper (it had a comp but no sights) means what little muzzle rise there was is gone. I always thought a comp on a .22 was just a way to extract money from my bank account, but the muzzle rise is exceedingly well damped. I need to shoot on the timer with and without the comp to quantify the impact.
The comp is easily removable, which is good because it leads something fierce. I have been soaking the comp in a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and 3% hydrogen peroxide to loosen the welded powder and lead, but I just ordered the Volquartsen "lead pulverizer" as the vinegar/hydrogen peroxide solution is a bit messy. The solution will also etch barrel steels as it is an oxidizer. With the comp being made of anodized aluminum, it should not be an issue; but less exposure to chemicals has to be a good thing. For that reason, I may just remove the comp and replace it with a thread protector for shooting where a bit of muzzle rise is not an issue.
The other negatives of the comp are noise and spraying lead. The latter is one of the reasons this pistol does not have an optic. The other is I wanted a lightweight pistol in the vein of the Colt Challenger.

Watch this section of the VQ web site: https://volquartsen.com/clearance
There are often deals on overstock, discontinued, obsolete, blemished, or demo items. With the Mark III series replaced by the Mark IV, there have been quite a few deals on parts meant for the older pistols. I compare those prices to those of Rimfire Sports, which is my Volquartsen dealer of choice. The bolt in my build was discounted because it has the older logo on the "pinball" grab handle. I was able to purchase a Deluxe rifle with a McMilian stock for a bit under seventy-three percent of retail during a Black Friday promotion.
Volquartsen also sells closeouts on eBay.

I don’t think a takedown would be much shorter than something like this.
