Hi folks, I am shopping around for a .22lr semi-auto that is as small or smaller than the Ruger LCP. I am looking for something better than a Jennings or Raven.

How compact, Sam? I have Walther P22 and a much smaller Beretta Bobcat. I'm quite pleased with both of them.
Don't have any small .22's but do like the Beretta Bodcat.
BTW - if it doesn't HAVE to be a .22 and you're most concerned about "compact," check out the Seecamp .32ACP-LWS. It's a quality handgun and even smaller than the BOBCAT. I can carry it in my front pocket and forget it's even there.
Thanks for the feedback, I am always glad to get input on these things. I am looking at .22lr pistols for size and ammo price. I can practice more for the price. I used to have an American arms PK22 years ago. Does Walther still make the TPH?
I Googled your question. The info I saw states that the upgraded TPH has been in continuous production since 1968.
Working off my iPhone at the moment. Otherwise, I'd post a link.
Sam, go to the Seecamp website and you'll find a column on the top right entitled, "Size Matters." Click on the link there and you'll go to a PDF file with pics and specs for several firearms, by different manufacturers, of comparable size.
Beretta's Bobcat .22 LR is a quality, small pistol. I know several people who carry them in their pockets.

Another vote for the P22. Good value and you can get a silencer for it that makes practice shooting practically inaudible. The downside of it is the grip size. If you wear XL gloves it's a tight fit in your hand.

Seecamp, Bobcat, and Walther
Sorry about the picture orientation. This is from my i-Phone. My home computer's out for routine maintenance. I'll flip the pic when I get it back. If one of the mods can flip it, be my guest.
You can get a 45 round drum magazine for the P22.

Out of stock! Never mind.
I would second the Beretta. The wife has had one for years and it has never failed to fire. Easy maintenance as well. Good quality gun that easily fits in a pocket.
Any news for us? I love to see a big kid with a new toy! :scooter:
One small pistol that might fit your needs is one which was actually made by a few different companies and was a small framed model similar to the Walther PPK it was made by American Arms (CX-22), Erma (PX-22)and Iver Johnson (TP-22), I have had one for about 10 yrs now though the sights are tiny and a bit hard to see the little pistol is quite accurate. I keep telling myself that a set of sights like a big dot up front and wide V rear would do the trick for my old eyes , maybe someday LOL Every once in awhile I see a couple show up on sites like Gun Broker. One draw back about these little pistols is trying to find spare mags . Bottom line is they are decent shooters if you can find one.

I think everyone should own a ruger 22/45 Lite. may not be as small as you are looking for, but I'm sure its as light!
