I have a birthday coming up, and I've decided that I want a .22 handgun. At the distances I usually shoot, it's not very challenging with rifles, so I'm looking for something that's going to be used for plinking.
At a store I saw a variety of different .22 handguns, although I couldn't read most of the tags. But I liked the Ruger Single Six at first glance, it was stainless, seemed pretty balanced, and I've heard good things about it. On the other hand, I've never shot a single action only revolver, and I'm not sure if it will be fun or not.
I asked the guy behind the counter what he recommended and he showed me a Sig 1911-22. I've never shot any 1911, but it seemed like a cool gun. Although it's not as flexible about ammo type as a revolver. I also wonder about it's reliability, and durability.
Which is a better deal? The Ruger was $375 and the Sig was $435.
There was also a S&W M&P, which I might consider, although I know nothing about it, and also a model 69, which was out of my price range.
I just want to make an informed decision. What should I look for in a .22 handgun?
