I have a 617-4, 10 shot.  Reloading is probably as fast as my High-Standard, but I have ordered a DS-10 speedloader  and a 100 round board for it, which should make it much faster than loading the magazine.

I have had a bunch of 22 autos, at least six MKI, MKII's and even one 22/45. A couple Browning's Nomad, Medalist and Challenger pistols. Most all of the High Standards from a M101 to a M106 thru the years. Two Walthers (TPH and OSP), two Benelli's (90's) and a couple Berettas too. I shamefully admit I have owned a Jennings and Phoenix junk 22 autos.

NONE of the Rugers, Walther OSP, 21 Beretta and Benelli's ever let me down. The Walther and benelli's better not for what they cost!!!

I would have to say that the little Beretta would be my top pic... We shoot ALLOT of 22's!!! As a matter of fact, I keep all duds fired in the others and my buddie shoots them in his 21!! MOST go bang!!!

I just dont know anything more reliable than a MKII and a 10/22.

That being said I have quite a few 22 pistols I like most (the Walter fit just great but was a jammer no news there) but I bought a Berretta Neos man that is accurate beyond my belief

I have a Ruger MKII, MKIII and 22/45 have had no issues with any of them.  Also have a Walther P22 it likes HV ammo.
My FFL holder requires any firearms to be shipped to them via another FFL holder.  So, If I make an offer on a firearm please let me know if this is capable of being done from the start.  Please do NOT mark an item "SPF" to me until we "both" are happy with and in agreement on shipping, funds and the transaction in general.   Thanks

Ruger SP-101 , never ever had it jam or misfire (  been lucky ammo was good  ;) ) . The gun is built like a vault . It will shoot any ammo made for a 22LR. fr0om shot shells to heavy lead bullets even mixed.
I would guess a revolver would claim most reliable due to design.
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

Huh?  I thought the Ruger SP-101's were centerfire revolvers.  Did they make one in a 22lr or something?

Yep , mine is a 4 inch bbl. I believe they also made a 2 inch bbl. I would like a 3 inch bbl but they didn't make um yet. And I would also like a 22 mag.

I would have to say my Browning Buckmark, haven't had a bad Ruger.  The Buckmark just feels good to me.

I've had a Beretta Neos for awhile now and am really pleased with it. It's quite accurate, easy to take down and clean, plus it isn't fussy about ammo, it'll shoot anything. ;)

Browning nomad will shoot with anything you can mix all brands and it still shoots. Standard and high velosity or mini mags mixed it don't care.

OOps.. When I posted about my Granddads Smith 46, I had forgotten that
I had shot a couple of mags with mixed loads in my Nomad without a hiccup.
The longer barrel on the Smith is easier for me to aim. The Nomad will digest
anything I throw at it!

No longer own the nomad . Had it since I was 16 bought it used in 1966. Sold it to a man that gave me over 5 times what I paid for it. Still regret it. Killed every thing from a rabbit to marsh deer with it.

I wish I could find a scope mount for my Nomad, then I might be
able to hit something with it. Nothing wrong with the pistol, just
my old eyes!
