Firstly, I think you need to look at more than Bud's when you look for a gun.
As for .22 revolvers in general, specifically .22 DA's, I just don't think people are getting what they pay for with most of them, not modern made ones at least. The Charter's by all I've heard and read are really good for the money, and if they had 8 shot models, then I would say that is the best .22 DA revolver to buy for the money because I don't see how any S&W or Ruger that costs $250+ more is worth that extra money. .22 is not a stressful cartridge for a gun to shoot, I mean the ring of fire companies have made .22's for decades with pot metal and they're still floating around after all this time. I'm a stickler on the 8 shot cylinder becuase, well, if the cylinder can hold 8 rds it should, otherwise there's no point in buying a rimfire revolver with the heavy, poopy trigger when you could get a .32 centerfire with a better trigger that shoots a bullet twice as heavy.
This is why I get ticked off when people ask about the .22 Mag LCR. It's not as good as the .327 loaded with .32 Long ammo, don't buy it.
There are cheaper, used .22 DA revolvers out there... as I said in my last post, not worth it. H&R may not be junk, but they're not trustworthy. Rossi... IDK. They're probably better than H&R, but unless you score one cheap, I wouldn't bother, not unless you fancy trying your gunsmithing skills. Looking at the ones on GB right now, I would say given how tiny they are, they may be worth trying.
IDK, I'm gonna have to look into Rossi .22's and see what the consensus is.
When we talk single actions, that's where things change and leaving Freedom Arms out of the conversation, Heritage and Ruger are battling it out now and that means good things for the consumer. I have a Heritage .22 9 shot, it's good, I like it. Ruger is the standard of the single action .22, you can't go wrong if you have the money to burn, but do get an adjustable sight model as I find fixed sight SA revolvers never shoot to POA.
North American Arms is also an option, but after a recent range trip the results on paper were poor, yet when I shoot at steel from 50 yards, I can get hits a majority of the time with my Minimaster. NAA is as small as you can get too.
So, when it comes to .22 revolvers, it depends on what you're looking for. For years I've had the belief that .32 is the best, smallest caliber in a revolver and with the 7 shot .32 Charter Arms Professional now available, I have a VERY hard time paying for any DA .22 revolver, while for single action .22's, Heritage's are so cheap, you can't go wrong buying one with adjustable sights.
