I have the Browning Buckmark Camper and the Ruger 22/45, both have bull barrels...great for plinking and paper killing. Both highly recommended. However, I also have Bersa's .22 pistol, which is comparable in size to their Thunder .380; and just as reliable. Taurus has their PT-22, of which I have owned a few. I'm not all that impressed with it...seems a little too cheaply made...just doesn't have the quality of craftsmanship that I prefer. More recently I've started acquiring .22 revolvers. They are a lot of fun too! Good luck making your decision, and let us know what you decide to get, and how you like it. We all have our experience and opinions, but we'd like to hear yours, when the time comes, too.
