Which pistol to buy?

I have a chance to get a Hungarian copy of a Walther PP in .32 ACP for about $130, and I was going to go with that but I've also found a place where I can get a bunch of .22 single action revolvers to choose from for around $120-180 and while I've never been too interested in revolvers I have to say these look pretty slick and could be fun plinkers (by the way they're Heritage revolvers,) so my question is, which would you go with? The PP clone or a .22 single action revolver?

not enough questions in the poll
None isn't an option: None of the above would be my vote
I've got one of the Hungarian (FEG) and it's a POS. Spend a little more $ and get yourself a good Ruger, Smith or Colt 22, they plink as good as or better than the Heritage's and last a lot longer.

I would choose the S A .22. You can get a bunch of practice with it and use it for defense if necessary.

I was going to buy a little heritage .22 SA, but then I saw how rough they were compared to a ruger Single-Six so I saved up a little bit more money and got the single-six instead.

Even if the quesiton was say a Beretta .32 vs. Ruger, I'd pick the SA .22. A .32 semi is for up close and personal stuff back in the 1930's (imho). It only beats the same type of gun today if the other gun is chambered in .22LR or .25 acp.
The revolver is good for targets, plinking, against snakes with snakeshot rounds, and you could use blanks in it for gundog training, and even to start races at a track meet (be careful what state this is in and be sure you have permission for the gun on school grounds eh?).

.32 acp ammunition more expensive and less fun to shoot than the .22. The revolver will be the more reliable of the two choices... poor as they are.
