It depends on what you want to use it for. The 22s mentioned are good guns, however I have noticed a tendency in new pistol owners to blow through cases of ammo in semi autos. In revolvers it takes longer to reload and new revolver ownsers TEND to take more time and burn less ammo.

Just my opinion. A good Ruger revolver in just about any caliber under the sun would serve you well. By the way if not set on 22 consider 357 mag. Why? You can hunt and use it for defense in 357 mag, and you can load MUCH cheaper 38 specials in it for an enjoyable day of plinking at the range.

My 2 cents.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
