walther p22 is awesome weapon for the money

I'll agree that the Walther P22 is an awesome little gun, but it's nowhere near as accurate as a Buckmark or a MK II.

My vote is for the Buckmark or a MK II, the Taurus shouldn't even be in the list.

The Walther is a great gun, but it's more of an advanced 22 cal handgun. The BuckMark would be the best way to go for a beginning handgun.

a ruger mk lll is a hard gun to beat, very reliable, very accurate and they hold there value extremly well

Buckmark , great gun for the price.

anything by ruger#1 or browning (no less, just never owned one) I personally hated my walther, and sold it.

I own and shoot a s&w 22a, 5 1/2 bull barrel, also a mark I ruger 5 1/2 bull. which I drilled and tapped for a scope mount (reflex sight at present) the rugers ok and probably a more robust firearm, but there is something about the smith that I just like,( the feel, the mag release, and the factory top rail to name 3) oh yeah ,also the price. cdnn has a good buy on walther target pistols, something like $300 with a scope. I ordered 1 for a friend. got a chance to shoot it, didn't like it, long hard trigger pull, pistol has a light feel to it. and, trying to zero the scope, was shooting off a rest with a sand bag under the butt (of the gun) it continually activated the over size ,in my opinion, mag release resulting in a constant failure to feed. I realize the pistol isn't meant to be fired this way, but still..... thanks, Jim

I forgot to mention in previous post, (it being late and me being old) but my 22a does have a nice trigger.

None of them would be my first choice. Smith will have the best warranty.

Ruger MKII/MKIII
Browning Buckmark
CZ 75 Kadet

Walther P22, with both barrels, and a thread adapter for playing with a 'Can' ....
