What's your favorite semi-auto rimfire pistol? I plan to buy one soon, and honestly don't know much of anything about them. Need something reliable....

Ruger and Browning are the best choices. Ruger has the choice of two different style grips and makes stainless steel models too.

I have long touted, and continue to tout, the S&W 22. It can be easily fitted with a red dot, should you choose to do so. Has fully adjustable sights and is very accurate. See my previous posts for a target.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

just make sure that it has adjustable sights and a decent trigger. my favorite is the old s&w 41, followed by the old high standard HD military. both are going to be pricey today

Browning Buckmark!
...and Browning make a neat little rifle that uses the same mags and the controls are the same too!

The Colt Woodsman is the most naturally aiming firearm I have ever had the good luck of firing.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Depends entirely on what you need to do with it....but, being an "old-school" kind of guy...If I didn't already have 2 of them...I'd look around for a good condition High-Standard target pistol.

I have owned a few over the years. The one that remains is a S&W M41. It is a fine piece.

If you want the toughest longest lasting go with the ruger I had one with 30 or 40 thousand rounds through it may be more besides cleaning it have not done a thing to it.

My son has it now.

It is a tougher pistol then my buck mark, hi standard or the woodsman I own.

The S&W Model 41 is my most favorite.

For the money the Ruger is a good choice.

My absolute favorite right now is the GSG 1911 22.


"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which ismore important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill

Have to agree....I have one, that we shoot with a suppressor, the 1911 feel is great. My wife has put thousands of rounds through it, it's her absolute favorite.
