Inexpensive, reliable .22 auto

[XD-40 Shooter]

Ruger MkII 22/45 all the way, I've got one in stainless with the 4-5/8" barrel, awesome 22.

I see nobody has mentioned the lowly Bersa. It's available in their Thunder .380 sized platform. Inexpensive,... reliable, accurate and durable. Have one with a few thousand rounds of CCI mini-Mag HP through it. Wife's plinker,...as her ccw is a Thunder.380......just a thought.
