I think the Ruger sr22 is a da/sa hammer fired semiauto pistol. The M&P22 compact is a single action with an internal hammer. They are both 10+1 round capacity and on the smaller side. The S&W is a scaled down version of the full size M&P. Both can be found new for $300-$350. I have the M&P compact and like it a lot, but, I hear the Ruger is a good one too.
