I've got a Sparrow on the way and need to pick up a pistol. Got plenty of 22lr rifles, but need a decent pistol. Would prefer something pre-threaded. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan

Doesn't look like there are a lot of choices...Sig Mosquito, Ruger, and Walther. Thoughts on the newer polymer 22/45s?

This and the 622 make an excellent host due to the elevated sight plane and the threaded barrel. The only problem is they can be hard to find.

I have a Walther P22. Cycles like a charm and accurate! With the can that is.

Both of these would have to be threaded correct?

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
get the 22/45 and a mk2 VQ trigger kit and hammer bushing. It'll unfuck all the stupid factory safety BS and make it run like a real gun.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
Smith if you can find them, Buckmarks are nice too. The S&W you need a muzzle nut adapter, like the Walther, I have big hands so the above 2 work well as do the Ruger's ,best advice is to find a pistol that is comfortable to you. The smith's are very light.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
22 1911 hands down.
The GSG is the same gun as the Sig 1911-22, and I love it.
I've had/have lots of other 22 pistols, (S&W/Ruger/TacSol PacLite Ruger/Buckmarks/old Colts/old High Standards/etc)
For only $330 you can get this, which is my favorite .22 pistol right now:
She makes an excellent trainer/22 comp gun.

Oh, but 1 caveat. Make sure you get the Gemtech adapter for it. It also has the small thread pitch that needs an adapter for 1/2x28, and the cheap adapters SUCK.

Hmm now you got me giving the GSG 1911 more thought. How does it do with ammo? Picky at all out of the box?
I have a Sig mosquito and p22.
You can also get the Mosquito with a threaded barrel. I love both my Sig and Walther. Once I figured out "my" Sig loves to feed on the Rem gold only(even any of the CCi would cause failure), I used it in the P22 once I got it and I rarely if "ever" have a failure.

GSG and Sig 1911-22's are the cats meow. I just got a Sig today along with an adapter from the silencer store. Works like a charm and the Sig is very well built. I quickly sold my factory threaded 22/45. Very cheap feeling with the polymer frame. safety, mag release, and slide release all felt rough and very flimsy to me. Or you can get a Ruger metal framed gun and get a pac-lite barrel for it.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
The local Academy has the Sig 1911-22 for $379. They also had the Mosquito which felt good in my hands. Much more so than most Sigs I've handled.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
I've got a Silencerco Sparrow. Used to run it on a Walther P22. Didn't run very well for me. Switched over to a Ruger 22/45 and haven't looked back. Great little pistol. I've put TONs of rounds through it with no problems.

They just need a thread adapter like the P22. I have not shot my P22 much since acquiring one of these older S&W pistols. They run great will any type of ammo and are surprisingly accurate.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
I use a Mark II, a 22/45, a Sig Mosquito and a Tacsol 2211 upper on a Springfield 1911 frame. They all run good and I use them for different stuff. The Rugers are my woods carry guns. The Sig is small and what my kids shoot most of the time to learn big gun controls. The 2211 is just damn fun and has the same feel as my carry gun.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
I run a P22 and am very happy with it. I'm amazed at the number of host options we have today that are reliable and accurate. I will second the GSG 1911-22 as a host...very nice...and thanks to others for the heads up on the S&W's...didn't know they existed!

Same combo I run. Very quiet. You should also look into a bolt action .22 like a cz 452 american. It is more quiet than a pellet gun.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
I run a P22 and Ruger 22/45. Both cycle fine, but the Ruger is better balanced with the Outback II. Furthermore, no stupid adapter is needed for the Ruger.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
P22, MkIII 22/45 factory threaded, M&P 22 are all great hosts (and all come with prethreaded barrels). The P22 and M&P use the same thread adapter (Walther barrels).

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
I have the Walther, Sig, and Ruger. I would rather shoot the ruger because with subsonic the action is much quieter than the other two.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
I use my Sparrow on a Sig mosquito and Ruger .22. It also works great on my American 180 Machine gun. The Sparrow is full auto rated. It smokes a bit after sustained full auto fire.
issc m22 Austrian .22 with threaded barrel is a cheapo Glock polymer look alike. I like the Mosquito better.

Yeah between the P22 and the Mosquito I have, I like how the Sig feels alot better. The P22 has more of a toy feeling to it.

No, they use a barrel nut similar to the Walther. All that is required is an adapter for the proper thread pitch.

Re: 22lr pistol host suggestions
I love this little Beretta 21A as a host weapon. I'd shot a few magazine out of this little gun with the Sparrow and in love with it.The overall length with suppressor is just a little bit longer than the Ruger 22/45, so cool.

I have a Buckmark and Tacsol barrel for my Spectre. It works well as long as I keep it clean. If I were in the market today, I'd go for the M&P.

I have pretty consistent issues with my Buckmark after about 15 mags.
It cycles enough to strip a new round but doesn't cock the hammer.
I'm considering retiring the Tac-Sol Buckmark setup for something a little cleaner/quieter.

M&P has a threaded barrel, so I'm assuming you're talking about the SR22.
Held a SR22 the other day and was pretty impressed by it.

That's it, SR22. Can't wait till we get some in here at the store. Got guys foaming at the mouth to put their Elements and Sparrows on one.
