22LR caliber

Single six, (tho admittedly I keep the magnum wheel in it most of the time)

MK4 just to have a semiauto for targets

10/22. Just a classic! Actually own 3, one for myself, and one for each of my boys.

M&P 15/22 is one of my absolute favorite brass wasters!!!

I just sent mine in for warranty work.

Did the same for in your face brass
Returned more than satisfied

I have mentioned this before, but my loving Wife has Fibromyalgia and is unable to lift heavier items or take the recoil of a pistol for very long, even something as light as a 22LR. Several years ago I bought her a Marlin Model 60 with a synthetic stock and a little “pencil” scope. We went to the range, she shot it until she figured she could operate it in a satisfactory manner and we went home.

A few weeks later I get home from work and smell the most wonderful smell coming from the kitchen. My Wife was cooking roasted squirrel she had harvested from our back yard with that little rifle.

Semi automatic, 15 round, tube fed, cheap to shoot AND A TACK DRIVER.

I have one in black. I made the mistake of running unjacketed .22 in it. Had to take it back to where I got it for a free cleaning. They said they had never seen lead fouling so bad. I didn’t make that mistake again.

Anything CCI works like a charm in mine.

Unjacketed. Plain lead bullets with no jacket.

Fat fingers. My bad! :rofl:

Bruce, not to get the thread off track, and maybe your wife already does these things, but… I also have fibromyalgia. I was going through the worst flares that just never ended. I tried everything and hit on a few things that make a huge difference. The biggest is vitamin D3 (5000 iu) and K2 together, everyday. Next is gluten- can have zero (it cleared up years of major digestive issues, and my joints stopped hurting so much) and last is sugar avoidance. I still get some bad flares, but now it’s days or weeks between, where I was lucky to have a break at all before.

Okay, back to firearms. And yeah, I have an old Lakefield semiauto (precursor to the Savage) 22 rifle with a 4X scope that’s the same way, cheap shooting fun that is almost too consistent and predictable. To me, 22LR is a caliber every gun owner should have. My wife has a beautiful little 22LR revolver that’s a great ultralight carry gun with no recoil and fast followups.

Sha has it pretty bad, and she does have her daily vitamin regimen. I couldn’t say what all she is taking for it, but very little seems to help. She has recently started taking a tart cherry extract which she feels is helping. Our biggest problem with her ailment is the lack of medical support from our doctor. He knows she has it, we know she has it, but he won’t make the call because we haven’t been able to do any of the testing to confirm. The tests are expensive, and our insurance doesn’t cover testing. If I could get her positively diagnosed, she could get treatment and possibly even get on disability. She cannot work due to her ailment. She does not have the strength.

On the thread subject, I have only ever seen a Lakefield in captivity once. I had a neighbor wanting to sell it to me many years ago and I didn’t have the cash he was asking. He only wanted $70 for it, but I couldn’t scrape it together. He sold it to another neighbor who lost it gambling.

As I recall, there was a journalist in theater at the same time doing a story on stripper gambling in the mudslide tormented mountains of Bora-Bora. On the day of my unfortunate incident, this journalist did jump in and tried to save my arsenal but was swallowed up. His video evidence went with him.

SHOCKING!
It’s amazing the Heroism of the Journalist community that risk their lives for a strangers Firearms.
On (2) YES FOLK’S TWO! separate occasions! Journalists lost their lives attempting to save my Collections on the Stormy Sea’s of Elephant Butte Lake the last two years running.
The first guy died after we ran into the New Mexican ‘Loc Ness Lizard’ who scared the ships Captain into running the vessel into a sandbar and Capsizing.
The second gentlemen got hit in the head and drown by the same Jet skier that
capsized my boat!
Costing me a fortune in Monument Fee’s just to acknowledge their sacrifices. :upside_down_face: sarc!

During the days of my ill-gotten youth, I always had a plan of surfing Elephant Butte Lake in the stormy season, but I never had the cojones to do it. Now that I am an Olde Farte, the only surfing I do is on the internet, and that is hazardous enough in itself.

The only monument from the unfortunate stripper/mudslide incident in Bora-Bora is a photographer’s tripod sticking out of the mud. Very sad sight to see. Really. I may cry.

Edited for spilling.

We are old and the wife can no longer handle centerfire. ARs are too heavy for her. She is limited to 22lr and semi auto since she can not pull a DA trigger. She has a Keltec P17, Ruger Charger, 10-22 Takedown and a M&P 15-22. She is very good with all of them but her favorite is the Charger and she prefers the 15-22 over the 10-22. She keeps the 15-22 in the closet and the P17 in her night stand.
I keep a Glock 17 handy and a 410 pump in the closet. My mouse gun is a Keltec P32 and my carry is a Hellcat or a LCR 38 spl. I would carry a 22lr if I had to but I can still handle center fire.
22lr can fill the SD role but your ability to place your shots better be good.

I’m not a big .22 fan but in a jam they will work just fine, I used to say to ppl any projectile invading your body can kill you right on the spot, and one in the apricot won’t help you out either. Im a giant fan of the .22 WMR or I just say .22 Mag. I’ve got a KelTec PMR-30 30 rds of .22 mag and that thing is a hit at any range I go to. And as far as an indoor protection piece I couldn’t feel safer. And a 100 lb gal can shoot one to. But it’s a fire belching loud as all get out barely a pound loaded hand full of the stuff lemmi tell ya. And it never fails to F&F either.
