"A patriot is mocked, scorned and hated; yet when his cause succeeds, all men will join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." Mark Twain
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.... now who's bringing the hot wings? :jester:
I've had a lot of .22 pistols over the years...
Had a S&W 41 that was a phenomenal shooter, but I had to turn it in when I left the MIANG Pistol Team...
There were a couple of High Standards that weren't slackers either..
Current favorite is my Browning BuckMark Camper...very accurate...seems to like hotter .22 ammo..
Then there is the loved and lost...I had a 6" K22 that I let get away from me in the in the 80s...been looking for a replacement ever since..
Oh...can't forget the Bear Cats...just stupid fun....

Weatherby, is that a Stevens Favorite behind the HS Victor? If so (even if it's something else), that is one CLASSY looking lil' rifle. Love the tang sight.
No .22 handgun in the stable right now, but if I were to rank 'em for preference, the list would go:
1. Browning Buck Mark/Ruger Mk II bull barrel. Why: The BuckMark strikes me as a close double (and economical) for the feel and control layout of the 1911, the Ruger (especially in bull-barrel versions) holds a reputation for high accuracy and reliability.
2. Ruger Single Six convertible, 4 3/4" to 5 1/2" adjustable sights. Versatility with .22 Mag/.22 LR cylinders, classic looks and function, outright fun.
3. One of the "classic" High Standards. Highly accurate, fairly modular (interchangable barrels, barrel weights, etc), and great track record in mid-20th century bullseye circles.
Honorable mention - Beretta 87, saw one in "my" gun shop some years ago that had a 6" extended barrel, with a block surrounding the front of the barrel to blend it in with the slide profile up front. Different, and struck me as a quality pistol.

Sarg1c, Colt Woodsman, second generation (with factory installed hardened firing pin and main spring to handle Hi Vel ammo). This one was built in 1937 as near as I can find per records checking. It is sweet, and smoothest action I have ever handled.
ETA. the mag release is on the bottom, at the heel, just barely shows in the pic.

Mine is from '72. still is as good as the day I took it oout of the box, and that is very good.
Here she is without the grip - getting some work done.
Needs a new recoil spring finally and she'll be good for another million rounds.
