Handguns: Which .22 to buy?

The first handgun buyer should try out as many as possible. The decision is fit, feel and what the buyer wants to do with the pistol. My recommendations would first be a 5.5" Ruger either with standard grip angle or the 22/45. You can grow with the pistol. The next is a tie between the 22A and Buck Mark standard. The Walther P22 is last on the list because of quality and accuracy issues.

Centerfire recommendations are much more difficult, too many good ones out there.
