prefered .22 handgun?

im in the market to buy a 22 handgun.
sounds like a good first handgun.
i like to shoot a lot, so it will mostly be plinking.
but i might keep it in the car sometimes.
A 22 is better than nothing.

i have shot many handguns in all calibers, but i want to start small.
and you never outgrow a 22.

what are some ideas at which one is best.

Browning Buckmark is my favorite.
I also have
Pheonix arms
Rugers
Taurus
S&W
Beretta
Walther
But I like the Browning the best. Not a big browning fan but I love the Buckmark. And there are tons of upgrades for it.

go over to rimfire thread and check the topic out from a while back.
i like the old Ruger MKII the best or a Super Single Six. JMO

ill check. thanks for the input.
i love browning.
heard a brand called heritage?

I had a Heritage they are good for the money . I don't think many people will disagree that a mark II is hard to beat from plinkin to whatever .

cheap, but will shoot reliably from what i've heard.

whats a good price for a used 22 revolver?
i want a revolver

btw. i just changed that part. sorry

Ruger Mark II semi

Ruger Single Six has a 22 LR and 22 WMR cyclinder

Browing Buckmark = P.O.S.

what would be the price of a decent used single six?

Used prices are kinda hard to guess at. On Gunbroker they are priced anywhere from $275 to $500, depending on model most of them are around $350. My buddy paid $300 for one at the last Jnx gunshow, but he got it from a dealer he buys a couple of guns a month from so he got a deal on it. You should be able to find one around $300 if you look hard enough.

Never shot a single six, but I grew up shooting a S&W revolver(think it was a model 6 but not sure?)Very reliable and accurate with a 6" barrel.

Currently I have a P-22 and for the most part no issues with any bullets I've put down the pipe.

thanks. ruger is high quality

Single Six is a single action revolver only...Its nice having 2 cylinders

The little Ruger Bearcat 22's are kinda cute

i like both of those

Ruger MkII, S&W "new model" 63, S&W "old model" K-22 or the best of the best. For a first gun I'd highly recommend the S&W 63 or K-22 depending on your hand size and what feels best in your hand.

small-medium sized hands.
if that is any more specific

The J-frame S&W Model 63. Stainless steel, eight shot and more than accurate enough to be interesting at the range. I have one that is my full time woods walking gun. I love it. I wish someone made a good speedloader for it.

sweet. how about the durability of the sw63

My favorite is the Sig Trailside Target Model. It didn't last long in the Sig line. It sure is a tack driver. If one can be found on the used marked I would recommend getting it.
