Ok, not a semi auto, but what, no one likes the 10 shot Colt King Cobra Target .22LR?

The FN 502 is also reportedly a nice piece.

Looks nice, good price and made in the USA. I will need to look into that one.

Upon further research, unlike the rest of the FN lineup, the .22LR version is made in Germany.

M110 calico, its super cool and the massive mag is pretty nice but for the memes if nothing else.

I looked on their site and this is what I saw. So I assumed it was made in Columbia, SC.

Yup, the DE denotes Deutschland.
The more I look at this on video reviews, the more I want one!

Umarex? I have several replica airguns made by Umarex! :skull:

Don’t get me wrong, they’re damned nice guns!

It’s just the first place my mind went seeing that name!

Yeah, that didn’t make sense to me. I was on the FN site and clicked on the FN 502. Further research shows that Umarex manufactures it in Germany for FN.

There are lots of ways to go with this.
What do you want to use it for?

Paper punching?
Small game hunting?
Defense?
Putting down livestock?
Low-cost rimfire training understudy for a centerfire?
Indoctrinating newbies?

Ruger MK4 is my only current semiautomatic .22. Love it been a great gun!

Way stupid easier than the MK3 to break down and clean

its operation is different from the majority of other handguns, in that it effectively has a bolt not a slide….

So good for basics like sight picture and trigger control,… but not so much for teaching common operational movements and controls with a handgun.

That’s my personal experience

That said, i am considering another semiautomatic .22 so staying interested in this thread.

I’ve liked the .22 Ruger pistol/semi, LCP 2; and using CCI Stinger 22 LR 32 Grain; the casings seemed very smooth and remained so, clean even after much time in storage. For extra spare mags, I stuck with the Ruger brand for compatibility.

For me, one down side, is compared to other models, the chamber in the Ruger LCP II, seems like a deep dark cave, and one really needs to be conscious if there is a round in the chamber or not. Not sure why that is, might be due to the shape of the parts. Aside from that, what a comfortable product.

I like the Walther P22, too. Good size, comfortable, accurate, easy takedown, affordable. Picked up a brand new one for a steal; crushed orchid isn’t popular, I guess. The only issue is the bloody spring during reassembly. I swear Walther did that for giggles.
Replaced the guide rod with a captured spring rod and much happier.
