Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 My stimulus $$$ Ruger .22 MK-IV stainless grip frame with Hogue wraparound rubber grips. The upper and ALL the internals, trigger and hammer included, are Volquartsen. Barrel is 6". The red dot site is a Leopold-Gilmore red dot site. The end cap is the thread protector (and muzzle protector), of which I prefer over a muzzle brake. I ain't crazy about muzzle brakes, especially on a .22 pistol. This thing is accurate and so sweet to shoot. Its a step above the S&W model 41. Heck, its probably a step above most anything else on the market that I am aware. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The classic Model 41 still looks prettier, sorry. I still prefer bluing and wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've owned about 6 or 7 of them thru the years and still own 1. They are nice. But this baby sure makes it a joy to burn up lots of ammo...... and hit the target more often. p.s. - their prices are comparable. Kid: I agree..... But, But, But..... we've seen lots of pics of Cowboy guns. I thought I would post a nice pic of what 'Nancy' bought me... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this baby sure makes it a joy to burn up lots of ammo...... and hit the target more often. p.s. - their prices are comparable. I'm not saying it isn't worth the price, or nice looking, only that subjectively, I have a preference for a Model 41. Of course, since mine is capable of better accuracy than I am, I don't have a need for something else. Also, I'm biased because mine was a gift from my late father-in-law when Mrs. Doc and I got engaged, so the price is moot. I will admit I'd like a Ruger Mark IV Standard with the tapered 6" barrel, with a few upgrades, though! I still prefer that over the bull barrels.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Jabez, my friend, I don't know what its like in Canada. But down here in E.Tennessee (and the South), shooting .22 rifles and pistols is a fairly common past time for those who enjoy shooting. AND, its even enjoyed periodically by those who don't shoot much. I live next to a sizable farm, of which I venture over and 'plink' all the time. Its not unusual to burn up 300-500 rounds in an afternoon. Sometimes, a Starling, Crow, Groundhog or Mud Turtle in the pond will venture into my sights in order for me to exercise my 'freedom of expression'. I've never had even ONE of those critters cry out expressing they wish I had shot them with BP...... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Really easy to make your own BP 22 long rifles. Buy primed cases, Yes they are available. Get a .22 cal bullet mould that drops light weight gas checked bullets. Use them like a healed bullet Fill case with 4F powder. Seat bullet and compress powder. Load them up and blast away.
