Interesting, looks a lot like a Walther P22. I'm looking forward to trying one out.

I'd like to take one for a spin. $400 is a bit step for a .22 pistol, but not outrageous.

Amen to that. If real world is more like 300 count me in though! I have been waiting for a Bersa to show up at the LGS for a few years with no luck. That looks even better!

Judging by other Ruger's and other similar .22's I'd expect to pay around $325 street price. If it's a decent pistol I may end up regretting being so invested in the Walther's (3 - P22's and over a dozen mags)

My Daughter In Law has the Walther P22,...I shot the crap out of it over Labor Day,...they are pretty tacticool...
IMHO,...a .22 pistol should keep the traditional accuracy prominent features of the ol' Colt Woodsman, Buckmark, and Colt Target
I know, i know,...they are accurate, cheap to shoot, great pistol to start kids and new gun owners with. But the old "target" .22 pistols just have something special...
Perhaps a .22 Magnum version like Kel-Tec's P30? Although ammo jumps in price...

Looks like they are following S&W on this one. I just bought a S&W M&P 22. I haven't got a chance to shoot it yet. It's the same size as my other M&P, so it fits my holster just fine. I should get a chance next weekend.
I think the are made by Walther. It sure is easier to take down than my Ruger MkII. I know some will ask, so I paid 369 plus the gov 8%. That was better than budsguns online.

I'm very anxious to try one. Ruger, in my opinion, is doing a great job in offering products that offer tremendous value for the price. The entire SR line, the LC line, and even the older models like the P95 are excellent guns, American made, and affordable. Their ability to bring new product to the market is amazing. Their booth at the SHOT Show is going to be busy this year.

you forgot the model 41 and the High standard.
-
I'll definitely be adding one of these and their new American bolt rifle to my collection.
I'd still like to get a 1911 as well but they don't seem to be able to keep up with demand on those.
-
Why only 10 round capacity?

My local gunshop has one on display, pretty cool-it's a 1911 ;)
-
I've gotten to handle one as well but I didn't have the cash at the time. I let it go. But the local shops haven't had one since.
-
I don't get it. Why would everone want a Ruger version of a Walther? In 22 no less?
There must be some large gap in my upbringing or something.
-
First, some people like 22s.
Secondly, Rugers version has an aluminum slide. P22 is zinc. Win for Ruger.
-
By looking at the picture I like the safety configuration and mag release better on the Ruger. Has anyone confirmed that it is definitely made by Walther or is that speculation? If so I hope it uses P-22 mags, that would be a big plus for me.
-
It is made by Ruger. It looks similar to a P22 but it is NOT a Walther/Smith & Wesson/Umarex product.
-
Northern Firearms on GunBroker has them for $329 with free shipping.
-

Because that is fairly standard for .22 semi auto's .
It keeps the mag from extending below the grip.
Look at the other Rugers or the Buck Mark.

!. Standard? "It's the way it has always been done". weak excuse
2. The grip is easily wide enough for stagger or double stack. Somehow they manage to do that with much larger cartidges like 9mm, 40, 45 etc. Must be real hard with a 22! ::)
3. What do old designs have to do with a new gun?
-
Ever noticed that 22 cartridges aren't shaped like 9mm or 45? Its much harder to reliably stagger or double stack the rimmed case of a 22. RELIABILITY is why they stick to 10 round mags.
-
Ram-Line used to make a .22 pistol that took 15-round mags but I don't know how good they worked.
-
RE: Ramline; If the two I had for my Ruger Mk1 are an indication the answer would be "like crap". Both would bind and fail to feed and after being removed a few times tor reloading the metal tab that locks the follower and spring in place popped off the mag body and couldn't be securely reattached.
That said, I have a 25 round mag from Ramline for my Marlin 995 that has never missed a beat and it's a blast at the range.

Kel Tek PMR 30.
-
IMHO, the single stack mags for 22 are because of feeding problems with double stack. Perhaps Kel-Tec has solved the problem, we'll see. Personally I want something a bit bigger but I'll reserve opinion till I have time to look it over longer on Wednesday.
Street price should be around $329 as was stated earlier.

found this thru gunslick.com this morning so i thought i would post and tempt those in a better financial position than me right now. maybe get some good gun porn or range report???? http://www.kygunco.com/products2.cfm/id/57389/name/ruger-sr22-22lr-black-3.5

I know this is a little late but I had the chance to examine this new Ruger today. This thing is a little small for me and not to my taste but I've heard favorable comments by several people. I thing looks very much like a Walther P22 but it is NOT a copy. The mag release is a standard button behind the trigger guard and is ambidextrous stock. The mag can be released from either side without any changes. The take down lever in located in the front part of the trigger guard and the gun field strips by pulling back and up on the slide much like my PPK/s. The barrel is fixed to the frame. There are some features of the P22 but it's no copy. I didn't and can't shoot the one I looked at but I'd be interested in hearing from any who do.
Hope this wasn't too long, Pecos

I too was able to examine one. I've owned the Mosquito and P22 in the past and let me tell you, just from handling, this is much nicer than both. It just feels better than both of those little fellas. Field stripping is easy and all of the controls are intuitive except the safety. The safety would feel better if it were slide mounted but it feels backwards on the frame. Overall, I think its a quality piece but I will be waiting for the threaded barrel version before I buy one.
