22 is my favorite caliber

Post by dddrees » Wed Aug 29, 2018 7:59 am

The first one (Performance Center Version) was a revelation at the time so the next one was almost a necessity. Frankly due to my issues with my hands (arthritis) and the fact 22's are more cost friendly I just find the 22 the caliber the one I typically fire more often. So although I have other semi auto's the S&W 41 is the sweetest Semi Auto Hand Gun in 22 I have fired so far.

Very nice! A buddy of mine mup in NE shoots his Mod 41 in competitions and he's a real fan as well. Nice pic, thanks for sharing!

What Henry are you shooting?

I currently own a H004 but I purchased a Winchester 9422 from 1974 not long afterwards so when I fire a 22 Lever it's usually the 9422. However I hope to get my H006MS sometime next week. I have a few wheel guns in 357\38 and this was something I've been meaning to get for awhile. Here are my wheel guns in 22 and 357.

Big Boy Silver! Good for you. Please post pics of that when you get it in your hands. Haven't seen many of those here on the Forum...

Thank you. I spent a good bit of time looking and weighing the various options and in the long run decided the Henry BB was the right choice for me.

Congrats on the BB Silver in .357 Magnum. It will pal up really nicely with one of your .357 wheel guns.
BTW, nice photo and a great-looking collection of wheel guns. Think you need at least one more to come to an even dozen!! ;)

Even though this thread notes the .22 is your favorite caliber, I'm curious which .357 revolver is your favorite?

Enjoy that Henry.

Couldn't agree more, dddrees, on the Model 41. It's stood the test of time and is as classic as it gets in a 22 semi auto pistol. Stunningly beautiful guns. As for those revolvers, that's a collection any revolver fan would love. Thanks for sharing.

Despite my fascination with guns and cartridges of all types, the bulk of our collection is chambered in ... you guessed it, 22 LR. Funny how there always seem to be room in the safe for another 22 LR. :)

Thank you and I couldn't agree more. I have a few others in other calibers but for the most part I havemore in 22 than any other caliber.

This S&W 41 Trigger just simply puts the other two to shame.

The pump is a 54 Remington 121 if I remeber the year correctly. It's not a Winchester but tyhats what made it a more affordable shooter.

Thank you sir. I would have too say that even though I really liike SA Revolvers and the Vaquero is a real looker that it would have to be both the S&W 686 and Ruger GP 100 Match Champion. In the future I will always opt for the gun with the sweeter trigger.

Been doing that for many years, now, and it really does pay off. Well worth waiting till you get an individual gun with that just right trigger. I went two years and over a half dozen Springfield Armory Mil spec 45s inspected at our LGS till I found the one with the excellent out of the box trigger. Glad I waited. Have gone through a couple of 1911 purges to make room for other guns, but my old trusty Mil-spec never got sold or traded and never will. Despite its lack of anything fancy and budget 1911 price, this one has been a fantastic shooter.
