Ah the M41, forgot about that one and it can be had with a short conversion. Just not for $350...
I haven't had any experience with the 22A, how do you like it?

C'thulhu '12! Why settle for the lesser evil?
What about a conversion kit for a pistol you already have? There seem to be a number of them on the market.
Don't own one but shot one. felt right in my hand and at 50' I wasn't missing any pop cans with it. It would make a great woods gun for small game.
I could never afford another M41 so I am having to start being careful with the one I have. After 40 years of shooting the one I have I'm down to only 5,000 or 6,000 rounds a year with it. I used to shoot that in a month when I was training.

Buckmark. Easier to work with than the Ruger series and lots of aftermarket. I love mine to death.
Face your fear, accept your war.
I have the Beretta Neos and it's proven to be a nice little 22 plinker. It isn't fussy about ammo selection and is easy to break down for cleaning. I've not shot at a paper target over 25 yards with it but at 25 it's pretty accurate, past 25 I'll use a rifle.

Well, ok - I have a bearcat and they are neat little revolvers. They are smallish though and of course have fixed sights. This is bascially a kit gun and can shoot any type of .22 rimfire - standard that is...
Somebody mentioned a Ruger Single Six- I also have one of those and like it - full sized and good for squirrel hunting and the like. I tried the .22 Mag cylinder a few times and was underwhelmed by the accuracy and loud muzzle blast.
Both of these Ruger revolvers are reliable and built like tanks.

I'm wanting a nice .22 pistol myself, but I don't care about shorts and I want a semi with a 1911 angle grip.
If you mean "why don't I like the MK-III" it's because it has all the useless new features like a magazine disconnect, a loaded chamber indicator and a firing pin block. The magazine disconnect is the worst feature. I would never buy a pistol that had one.
And, loaded chamber indicator? I learned:
(a) treat a firearm as ALWAYS loaded
(b) always check the chamber
Therefore, it's my responsibility to know when it's physically loaded. I don't need a little thing poking out of the barrel to tell me.

ALL FOR NAUGHT!
Disatisfied with handgun offerings, (except an old H&R which I may still go buy!) I broke down and just bought a Henry lever action, that can hold 16 LR, or like 24 shorts. 257$ NIB Academy sports, my 1140 got delayed, so maybe pick it up either tomorrow or Thursday, at the latest. This is my first 22, it's been long overdue to be added to the collection. I'm now gonna be able to plink in the back yard, folks down here don't seem to mind!
