22lr Handguns-Reviews, Recommendations, and Trouble Shooting

get a UDX framed model

I'm pretty ignorant on Buckmark differences, What do you prefer about the UDX frame?

Also, the LAST thing I'd do, is put a scope on it.

Heard that.

The UDX frame with the slightly curved backstrap and small finger grooves fit my hand, and point better, than any other BM option. Only downside is, LOK is about the only option for aftermarket grips for the UDX's....

I have a Browning Buckmark, S&W 22X, and Taurus TX22. They've all been great.

Does anyone have experience shooting shotshells through a suppressed 22lr semi-auto handgun?

Found a 5” Hammerli Forge for sale locally.
Price was below msrp, so I decided to pick it up based on the positive reviews from you guys.


Slick front strap and slick mainspring housing got some grip tape. I also put some extra G10 grips on that I had lying around.

The trigger initially felt about like the double action pull on a beretta. Heavy 8-10lbs. Clean break but heavy. I pulled the mainspring, and the problem was immediately obvious. The sear spring leaves had a ridiculous amount preset bending. There was also a heavy weight grease packing in and around the trigger bow, sear, and disconnector. Everything got cleaned up, and the sear spring set was adjusted.
New trigger felt crisp, about 4lbs.

Next I looked at the sights. Novak style, but 3 white dots. I blacked out the rear, and added a fluorescent green/yellow pain to the front dot. Pretty happy with the result. I’ll look at the Dawson fiber sights after a little time with these.

I lubricated with some lithium grease mixed with atf, and went out to the range after work.
Did my usual drills, cycling through both mags about 10 times. No malfunctions, good positive ejection. Good feeding. No light strikes. All shot with federal 40gr AutoMatch.

So far seems like a winner.
