I just acquired a Flobert Breech Loading Practice Pistol, calibre #1 (6mm rim fire BB cap). Just think, in Paris, in 1848, you could go to the store and buy a pistol and a box of shells to shoot for fun. It would be almost a decade before that level of engineering came to America. The bore is rough, so I will make an interchangeable barrel from a the middle part of a scrap 22RF octagon rifle barrel. Picture in a few days.

Only own two .22 rimfire handguns; S&W 1st Model 2nd Issue (1861 mfg.) - no I've no idea how it shoots, and a S&W 18-4 which shoots exceedingly well. There's a beautiful Colt New Frontier for sale locally which I've had my eye on for a few weeks. Don't want to show too much interest in it till I'm ready to pounce and just buy it, or dicker, trade etc. We shall see.

Favorite was my SS MKII bull barrel. But since I'm an idiot, I traded it. Favorites now are Buckmark and my Heritage Rough Rider single 6. May get a Ruger Single Six soon.

Got no pics of em at the moment but my favorite rimfires are my 4" stainless SP-101 and my "billboard stock" 77/22 All-Weather. A good matched pair of Rugers.

My favorite autoloader is a tough call.
I will probably lean towards the Ruger MkII but only because I haven't been lucky enough to own an old High Standard or Colt Woodsman yet.

Decisions, decisions. You guys make it tough. Never really gave it much thought.

Autoloader - Colt Huntman '6 vs. CZ SP-01 w/Kadet kit

The CZ get the nod and the most trigger time. The grip just fits my hand better and the sights are friendlier to my old eyes.

as stated by others this is a very dificult question , but if i need to actually lable favorite/most used i will go with the following ;

for the revolver its my colt SAA 38wcf converted to 22LR , i shoot it for SASS prctice and carry it for fun , its a full sized revolver in 22cal unlike my frontier scout , i have many other revolvers of SAA as well as DA/SA versions but this is the one i generally grab for me .........





and again in the case of the semi-auto i have many i love dearly but the one i reach for most is this browning , it just fits my hand well , it shoots accurately and dependably with most anything i feed it , and except for the buckmark i shoot in competions it gets used more than the others .......

My favorite rimfire pistol is a Marvel conversion unit on a Colt frame. My favorite rimfire rifle is a Winchester Model 57 I bought for $20.00 from the local hardware store many years ago.

Just got a Heritage 6 shooter, nice shooter for plinking, also have a Browning Challenger II that is probably my favorite 22 semi-auto in pistol and then a Ruger tactical 22 with all the goodies for a 22 rifle.

I only have a Ruger single six for rimfire handguns, but I adore it. It is so much fun to shoot.

My only other rimfire is my Marlin Glenfield Model 25. I recently rediscovered this at the back of my closet and I'm remembering how much fun it is to shoot. Got it all sighted in and I'm really going to test myself this weekend.

I favor the browning over the ruger just because as a young'n I had issues charging the ruger with its small charging handle. the brownings, I started with a challenger, have a longer area that allows for a better grip for smaller hands. however, 30yrs later I began to have same issue with the challenger as with the ruger, I switched to a newer buckmark as it has a wide spot at the rear of the pistol to allow for that same grip with old used hands. both the browning and rugers are fun to shoot so are equal in that respect.
last yr I put a 22lr conversion on an old glock lower and it is quickly becoming my fave plinkster. Y'know when you unholster and blast a magazine at a can, apple or ant hill. LOL

I got the same gun and case. Was a Christmas present to me from my Papa in 1972. I also have the original receipt for it $138. They are a tack driver and lots of fun on Jack rabbits It is one of my "never sell" guns.

For pistol it's hands down my Ruger Mark II I purchased in 83. I have only one .22 revolver now, a High Standard Double Nine. My favorite was a Ruger Super Single Six I traded years ago. I've kicked myself many times for letting it go.
