I tend to agree with Ozzie. Ruger usually occupies the spot in the market where reliability and inexpensive meet. There are many options if you want to spend more, but I think the sacrifice in consistency is too great to go any cheaper.

A 22lr handgun is probably the most useful tool a hunter can carry. For that reason I feel one is justified in spending a little extra. I like the S&W and Colt revolvers as a small game/pest/coup de grace sidearm.
