Three pages of discussion, and no one has asked how the OP wants to use a 22lr revolver. Many different "favorite" 22lr revolvers have supporters here, which is great, but good decision should be tied to planned use. I can think of three different uses, and the set of "good" choices for each varies. For small caliber self defense carry, the LCR, NAA, and a few others fit the bill. For precision target practice, there are others. For just fun plinking, whether on a range or in the field, you have a third group. I bought a Heritage Rough Rider in 22LR/22 Mag for the third category. I love shooting it in that mode. My choices were a Heritage for about $200, a S&W revolver for about $400, or a Ruger Single Six for about $600. Since I wanted it for simple plinking, my choice was arithmetic: I could buy a lot of 22LR ammunition for the $200 to $400 savings by buying the Heritage over the S&W or Ruger. For precision target practice, I prefer semi-automatic 22LR over revolver. Think S&W 41 or Ruger Mark III--VI in that realm.
