Isaiah Jenning’s Flintlock repeating rifle
Ruger 22/45. Been thinking about picking one of these up since I am currently sans 22 pistol.
Gun unporn: Every time I see a “Show off a picture of your Glock!” thread on a gun forum, I have to choke back the urge to post “See that picture above this post? Mine looks pretty much like that one.” Heh.

You can’t go wrong with the Ruger 22/44… we’ve have several Mark II’s, Mark III’s and both generations of 22/45’s…
The 22/45’s our 4H Shooting Sports club has have seen 10’s of thousands of rounds through them without a problem… and they’re still more accurate/precise than the newer Ruger SR22’s…

I love my 22/45 and breaking it is nigh impossible. It eats any ammo I put through it and I only give it a full takedown every 1000 rounds or so.

I was at a local fun store when I saw my first SR-22. It looked like a Walther copy. Safety is just wrong, bbl is to short to(legally) hunt with. Then the shop-owner laid it in my hand. I damn near cried. It felt soooo good. I won’t even touch another. It was THAT good. If the big r could copy avz82 and make it feel like that……..

That repeating flintlock is almost as cool as my Rocky Mountain Arms 22 caliber black powder breach loading rifle. It uses paper roll caps, (punched into circles with a hole punch) to ignite the black powder charge. This rifle is sized for kids as an alternative to a BB gun. Consider the differences in thought processes that would allow letting your 12 year old loose in the back yard with a tub of black powder to keep the squirrel population under control… It certainly wouldn’t happen today!

The carbon fiber of the 22/45 I have has always seemed a bit off, compared to other polymer guns I own. Yet it has lasted several years of hard use already, and I expect it to continue doing so.
I still don’t like the dirt-catching loaded chamber indicator of the Mark IIIs.

The LCI on a MK111 is easily fixed with with a snip.

I went with a Hunter version of the MkIII. Quite pleased so far.

Picked up a 22/45 lite yesterday. It’s a very nice piece and will be even better once the LCI and magazine disconnect are disabled.

My MkIII 22/45 gets cleaned quarterly or so, whether it needs it or not…
