Double-stack 22/45 coming?
« on: March 17, 2025, 07:52:43 PM »
Ruger has patented a double-stack .22 pistol mag and a 22/45 to use it may be on the horizon. If this becomes a reality, assuming they work well I'll probably trade my MK II and 22/45 in for one.

the only question.... will it feed worth a shit.  there is a reason why 22 mags are single stack.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Ruger is getting new patents, so maybe they found a way to make double-stack .22 mags work better. And the Taurus TX 22 with a 16-Round mag has apparently been working okay for the last 6 years. The 22/45 is just a hair taller and should also take a 16-round double-stack mag. I don't know if the SIG Sauer P322 .22 LR Pistol with a 20-Round mag or the FN 502 Tactical .22 LR with a 15-Round mag work well or not. I haven't heard anything good or bad about them. But it's not like no one makes double-stack .22s already. And Kel-Tec makes a quad-stack, but I think that one has problems.
