Most accurate threaded 22 pistol

[timelinex]

I just got my suppressor in and I've been having a blast with it on my Walther. The main thing I'm missing is some reasonably good accuracy, and then I can train all day!

So if I'm trying to keep it around 500 or less, what's a good pistol?

I know ruger makes an accurate mk3,but the thread version has a much shorter barrel, which as I understand degrades accuracy?

i have used the ruger and it worked well. i did end up switching to the pac-lite upper and love it.

I shot one of the Ruger SR-22's (they make a threaded version) and I *fucking* hated the thing. Might have just been a personal thing but it didn't feel good in my hands (my hands are way too big) and I couldn't hit a damn anything. If you are interested in a SR-22, I'd go to your LGS and hold one in your hands to make sure you like it.

Don't know if a single shot would interest you but here in mine. I took a 20 year old T/C Contender "Super 14" .22rf barrel last week and bobbed it off just past the forearm and threaded it. Shooting it is a blast and it's pretty darn accurate.

So far I have been very satisfied with the PAC-Lite

What are your accuracy goals? 10y for backyard rats, 50y for hunting, 100y paper or the many other possibilities?

Like el gordo, I have a single shot (Encore with 16in match barrel) that will nail 'em way out there, and like lukus, I have a 4.5 TacSol pac-lite on a Mark III lower that is deadly to 50y - I have not shot it beyond that.

You might consider getting one of every platform available and then build a few that are not available, and then buy the others that were released in the time that you were building. Get them short and get them long, every gun has a use. Just be sure to let us know what you think!

Ok I guess I should have clarified my accuracy goals. I'm looking for a trainer pistol that can match the accuracy of my glock (factory). So I'm not looking to bench rest the gun. Most my practice shooting will be done between 5-10 yards. It would be nice to know the gun is able to at least cloverleaf at that distance. So if a shot is pulled, I know it's me.

My built Buckmark is the most accurate handgun I own, at least with me shooting it. Quiet as can be with my Sparrow, and will hold as tight as I can. When on my game, I've gone 50 shots in a row on a head silhouette, at 35 yards, in the dark with a flash light.

How about a 1911 Conversion kit? I have a Marvel Precision and it comes with a test target of less than 1" ay 50y, mine was around .8".

That looks like a fair option,if I had a 1911.i have a glock. Plus paying around 700 just for a 22 conversion is pretty steep.

How's the accuracy of the threaded Buckmark vs ruger?

Have you looked at the Tactical Solutions TSG-22 to convert your Glock? I don't have any now and I am not the availability, but they are nice.

Pretty happy with my 22/45 Lite, and no reason to have to spend the extra $$ for a lighter upper.

 

[Snake-Eyes]

Get an Advantage Arms conversion kit for your Glock. $275
Then get it threaded by Tornado Technologies. $175

That's $50 less than your $500 limit.

Pros:
-slide locks open on an empty mag.
-practice using your existing trigger and grip/frame.
-use your existing holsters

Cons:
-spend $450 and no new gun
-AA kits run better when clean, so don't expect to neglect it like you can a Glock and still expect it run great.

If it's a full size Glock, then you'll have longer conversion barrel than if it's a sub-compact... For your accuracy concerns.

FWIW, my AA-converted and TT-threaded Glock "26" is a blast and accurate...

You know, I saw those but I was worried since it's lite that it's not going to be accurate. But I just did a bit more research and it looks like this might be a winner. Everything I have read has said that's it's a very accurate 22 pistol, regardless of its weight and barrel length.

As for the glock conversion, I've though about it and will continue thinking about it. I was trying to get a whole separate gun. I alreaxy have a 9mm conversion for the 40, and that works great. So I'm not against the idea, I just don't think that's what I want this time around

I think its the perfect match, my 8 year old can easily shoot it with the weight of the suppressor. I just bought a Burris fast fire to mount on it to try and squeeze a little more accuracy out of it on my end.

Does it come with a rail on top? It does t look like it

Mine came with one in the box.

 

[jake243tax]

Mine came with the rail too and it mounts between the sights so you don't have to remove sights to mount it. However I had to file out a notch on my rail to allow my aimpoint base to fit. The rail comes with rounded notches and my base has a square bar and wouldn't fit. But to answer your question mine is very accurate with my sparrow can on it and no malfunctions. You may have trouble finding the gold lite thou. Black ones are still in production.

+1 for the 22/45 light. I have one and its very accurate. The only thing for you is the grip angle is wrong if your comparatively training back and forth with your glock. The 22/45 has the same feel, controls and grip angle as a 1911. They are ment to be 1911 cheap ammo trainers. I would recommend a standard mk3. The feel won't be exact but the angle will be closer. Pistols are all about muscle memory and grip angle can screw you. Grab whatever your thinking of buying and close your eyes and point. Open your eyes and see if your aiming at the floor or celing. This will tell you what your used to. I assume it will be glock angle. So pac-lite upper on a standard mk3 seems your best option.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[KHOOKS]

have you given the thought to a M&P22 pistol. I have one and run my Sparrow on it. It is plenty capable of being a trainer. Nice and light package. And so far seems to run everything I have put in it.
