If I were interested in a 22, though, I'd get a 22. I like these Mark
III's or the older Mark II's from Ruger:

They're a bitch to break down completely for cleaning until you learn
a very simple trick. Then, they're easy.

Breaking down is fairly easy, putting it back together is what gives
people fits until they learn how to get the hammer and spring into the
right position.

In terms of speed and accuracy, a S&W 41 or an old Hi Standard
Supermatic will run circles around the Ruger III.


I have an old target model Woodsman that is hard to beat. I traded a
100 round belt of .50 BMG for it from a gun dealer in Oxon Hill Md.


-----------------------

My dad had a Woodsman in the 1950's. Was a real POS. Had about a 5' impact
region when bench rest shooting. He traded it for a Benjamin pump up pellet
gun. The Benjamin was a hell of a lot better weapon than that Woodsman.
Plus cheaper to shoot. For a fun accurate 22, he had a Colt Buntline
Special 22lr/22mag. Do not know what happened to that weapon. Maybe was
stolen when his house was robbed when he was in the hospital at end of life.
