I want a .22 handgun. I have not ruled out an auto yet, but I am heavily leaning towards a revolver, mostly because I don't have one yet and I like the look/nostalgia.
Anyway, I want a cheap gun (under $250) that I can go target shooting with. It looks like the only .22LR revolvers fitting this price range are the H&Rs and Charter Arms. What have people's experiences been with these firearms? How much can I expect to pay? Do I have to worry about the things (especially H&R, as the gunsmith said) blowing up in my hand?
From the online reviews these revolvers aren't the best, but they'll function reliably and are decently accurate. That's all I want; can I get it from these (or other?) makers?
