I have a Walther P22 (suppressed) & it jams quite often. Also have a Ruger Mark2 which I love!

One really can't go wrong with a Ruger. They make quality products. If the 22/45 is what you like and feels good then by all means get it.
Another 22 handgun I own that is super accurate is my GSG (German Sport Gun) 1911. It has the look and feel of the 1911 albeit a bit lighter. But it shoots really well.

Here's one 22 mag, of several out there.

I have a Ruger Mark 3. Nice good looking gun. Just as accurate as any other 22 handgun I've shot if not more. I recommend the Mark 3 Hunter.

Just bought a handgun recently and shipping was free. Also, no tax was added.

It's going to be really REALLY hard to beat a Ruger 22/45 MK2 if you can find 1, or MK3 if you can't find a MK2 22/45. They sell them at kygunco for 259$ new. I can easily walk anybody through converting a MK3 back to MK2 style, getting rid of the stupid mag disconnect safety, making field stripping MUCH easier!

I ended up getting a 22/45, target, bull barrel with the removable grip panels. Put a couple hundred rounds through it today. Funnest gun I've shot in a while. More accurate than me, good trigger, balanced well and points naturally. Couldn't be happier. Would highly recommend to anyone in the market for a 22 handgun.
