The old Colt Jr. was chambered for the lowly .22 short; but I haven't seen
one in years. I also think the Astra Cub was chambered for this round, but
it may prove too be just as hard to find a Cub, as it would be a Colt Jr.
No manufacturer is making new pistols chambered for the .22 short, and ammo manufactuers are also rapidly dropping that caliber (if they haven't already done so). This comes as a result from the ISSF's rule changes to the rapid fire pistol discipline in 2004, only allowing the use of .22LR pistols very similar to those used in the standard pistol event. Hence there is not much of a market for the .22 short, as it didn't have much else of a use.
For second hand pistols, look for the Walther OSP, or similar.
I assume it has to be an auto? I guess it must be because even the cheapest of the .22 revolvers will do the job. Keep the carbon line in the cylinders cleaned out and have the choise of shooting Short, Long or Long Rifle or even CB's and CB Longs.
Here's something interesting about the little pistol.
To settle an argument a couple days ago, I shot my Minx at 100 yards at the Texas 15 yard qualification target.
Of 14 rounds only 3 aren't accounted for.
My Beretta shoots left and low so I sighted on the bullseye.
A fun plinker is the Ruger Bearcat.
I have a backyard range and the Bearcat is hanging by the door where it's easy to grab and shoot a handfull of 22 shorts when I've got a few minutes.
