I use the Ruger MK-III for teaching in my concealed carry classes. I have a Ruger 22/45 MK-III with over 29,000 rounds through it, and a MK-III Hunter with over 23,000 rounds. Still using the original magazines on both guns, and all I do is clean them every 500-1000 rounds, whether they need it or not. Not sure if the Browning Buck Mark would do that, but I think it will. You can't go wrong with either gun. Also check price/availability of extra magazines - you probably want several extra for the range.

Yes, the trigger on my Neos is quite heavy as compared to all my other .22 pistols - Ruger, S&W, Buckmark. I would go with a Ruger, Buckmark or S&W. If you get an earlier Ruger, you can put a Majectic Arms Speed Strip Kit into it and field stripping becomes simple. I have the kit in both of my Ruger .22s.

SR22 or S&W Victory. Mid 300s for either one. | |||

Out of what I've tried I like the SR22 for this duty. Thanks to this post I'm browsing models again... ---------------------------------------- Death smiles at us all. Be sure you smile back. | |||

I prefer old classics and with a little time and patience they can be found inexpensively. I have S&W 422, berettta jaguar Colt challenger S&W model 17 revolver all purchased for less than $250 off the used rack. I may be biased but think the older guns have better triggers are more reliable and have much greater accuracy potential than the current crop of combat trainer plastic frame guns. | |||

If you have a Sig, Glock, or 1911 just get a 22lr kit and be done with it. I have all three and it makes for an easy day of training. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

Thanks to everyone for all of the responses. I'm leaning toward the buckmark. I have a buddy who has a little Ruger 22 and loves it. I'll have to check pricing. I'm hoping to find a used one. I'm with captain127 on liking the older guns better. | |||

If you stick with a "standard" .22 like Ruger MK or 22/45 series, Browning Buckmark or S&W Victory you are golden. I have all three and honestly, there isn't a hill of beans difference between them as far as performance goes. All shoot well, eat everything I have fed them and just keep on shooting. I do not have the newest generation Ruger...yet! However, I would look hard at that and the S&W Victory or the Browning...purely your preference. The scaled down guns that are supposed to look like "real" guns just don't do it for me and if you are training someone a longer barrel won't hurt and will increase sight radius. ---------- “Nobody can ever take your integrity away from you.

Ruger MK IV. American built, accurate, easy to clean (WAY better than previous Mk's) and there are (or will be) a ton of aftermarket accessories if you are so inclined. I have one, and a couple Mk II and II. All are fun to shoot. The MK II and III are a PITA to clean. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

So I put 1,000 rounds through my Walther PPQ before any malfunctions. That was with zero lube or cleaning. Most of those suppressed. Train how you intend to Fight Remember - Training is not sparring. Sparring is not fighting. Fighting is not combat. | |||

Iirc, ruger does or will have a "Standard" MKIV. For me, I can't resist the 22/45 mk2 when they are around $250. Without the mag safety, they are pretty easy to take down and put back together.  | |||

This Not so much for kids and beginning shooters. Great for someone who uses the platform and has experience. The DA/SA Sig and glock triggers are very problematic for new shooters, and most 1911's weigh too much. not recommended based on lots of personal experience in teaching newbies. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

I do like the idea of a conversion kit for one of my glocks. Does anyone know if the conversion kits work on the gen5? | |||

Agree. And it is refreshing that you spelled it correctly as two words, kudos to you.  ----------------------------------- Regards, Steve The anticipation is often greater than the actual reward | |||

My issue with conversion kits is for what they cost, I could have a whole gun like a ruger or browning, S&W etc. | |||
