I have a browning buckmark that is quite accurate and shoots anything you feed it. Others will say go with Ruger MkIII. And if you truly want a fine weapon go with the Smith and Wesson which will set you back over $1000.
S&W Model 41 - for a real target pistol, with a long history of success. Pricing for a used one usually will start around $600. Add a couple hundred more for a NIB piece.
It depends on what you want to use it for.
Both the Browning Buckmark and the Ruger pistols are excellent, affordable pistols that offer great accuracy and aftermarket parts support. Nevertheless, they are not as accurate in stock form as a S&W 41, or a Haemmerli or other dedicated match pistol. This is reflected in the price, with the Smith coming in around 1000 USD, and Haemmerli's for quite a bit more.
There are many options. Which one you choose is dictated by your needs (accuracy, ergonomics, etc...), and what you're willing to pay.
At one time I had about 6 semi auto .22's, then I bought a Smith 41. Now the only semi 22's I have is the 41 and a few with sentimental value I'll never sell and rarely shoot.
At least 3 Rugers and a Browning were sold since getting the 41.
I own a Buckmark and have access to several Mk II and Mk III's. All of them can out shoot me. Unless you are looking for a SERIOUS target competition pistol either of these is an excellent choice with plenty of aftermarket support.
well he did say pistol, not revolver, and 41 prices didn't spook him, so
yeah, S&W 41, Hammerli, or ORIGINAL Hi-standard (vs the new Hi Standards)
if budget realities set in belatedly, then, yes
Ruger MKs and Buckmarks
most everything else in the same or lesser price class than those is "plinker" fun class vs "target" class
(and if wheelguns should just happen to cycle around, Freedom Arms SA or S&W k-22/17/18 DAs)
Define "traget pistol." Do you want to go out and have some cheap fun with a cheap gun? Have some fun with a cheap-to-shoot good quality gun that'll last forever? Or do you want to compete seriously against other shooters? The answer will determine what gun(s) to consider and how much $$ is required.
