i am going to bo going to a local gun range in the next few weeks and would like to know how much you think a P22 from a used gun section would cost. any wild guesses are welcome, but please be realistic.
Without seeing and thoroughly going over any used gun it becomes just about impossible to put a price on it. Online I see prices between $300 and $350 give or take. I also saw a video where the gun failed to feed 50% of the time? Not being familiar with that pistol I can't say if it is a good or poor pistol. However, again as to any gun there is no way to put a price on it sans actually checking the gun out. So you have a wild guess and being realistic about inspecting the gun.
I would NOT pay 350 or even 300 for a used P22. At my local gunstore, they sell them new depending on the version for around 350. Just went on the website, and they range from $320 for basic 3.4" barrel in black, to 440 for the 5" barrel in nickel.
IMO, 250, tops for a used P22. Unless it comes with ALOT of mags, or other stuff.

Inferior metals used in the slide or craftsmanship - the slide breakes on them, pain to strip, I found the recoil spring was very weak imo, the trigger pull I did not like, way to "tacicool" for a 22lr and too many safety features for me, and jams quite often. Again this was just all my preferences and findings of the P22 I had and did not care for it. Jamed no matter what ammo I ran through it. I did an internet search and found I was among the many who had very similar problems and thought the same about it. While others had more sever problems as in the slide breaking. I don't feel they are worth the money they want for it, other than that it each to their own.
when did you buy this pistol? they have updated it many times since its release, and they got rid of most of the problems. the nickel alloy slide problem still remains...
That's one thing about The Sig Sauer Mosquito. Not the most accurate or reliable ( actually, after shooting a zillion rounds through it it's doing better) pistol on the planet , but it sure is easy to strip.
I had a mosquito for a while...hated that thing with a passion. It would fail to feed pretty much once or twice every mag, even when clean. Didnt matter what kind of ammo. So, -shrugs- I would absolutely say P22 > Mosquito.
that being said, the new Ruger SR22 and Smith&Wesson M&P22 both look very nice, and cost as much as new (high end) mosquitos and P22s.
I currently own a Bersa FS22 and love it. It hates Winchester ammo, but other than that is perfect. Bought new for 250. ONLY problem is that spare mags are nigh impossible to come across...
