I need some suggestions

Ruger Single Six.

I'm curious though which semi autos are giving you so much grief. If none of them say Ruger on the side, maybe start there.

Yup and very accurate.

Stay away from the rough rider... see the pics in my thread if you wanna know why...still picking lead and powder out f my hands and face

Was close to buying one a couple times when they were on sale for like $100. Felt kind of poorly built/clunky, but figured, it's only $100. Glad I didn't.

If I could go back and do it over, for what I spent? I’d buy a Ruger wrangler. Just not many options out there for a 22mag SA revolver at a decent price(I only bought mine for small game since I can’t legally use my Victory in PA to hunt), especially right now...

It’s not a terrible gun per se...if you get a good one they are great for the price. I actually like the ergonomics of mine. And at 10-15 yards is pretty accurate once you bend the front sight a bit. It works great with 22lr, just not with 22mag. Quality control though is really suspect. It’s a pot metal pistol with a lifetime warranty, but you’ll spend just as much for shipping to warranty it as you spent on the gun...

Buy once, cry once...

Ruger or Smith, obviously.

S&W m&p compact 22 works fine.

I have not had luck with Taurus .22 revolvers. If you want to avoid DA/SA revolvers north of $500, there's always the Charter Arms Pathfinder. They come in .22 LR and .22 WMR. Like all others, they're hard to find at the moment except on Gun Broker. I can't personally speak to their reliability, but I've had good luck with other Charter Arms revolvers.

I have a rough rider. No issues, but only 50-100 rounds through it. I wish it didn't have a safety. I have a 1949 Ruger Standard pistol. Great gun. Also have a Ruger SR22. Hundreds of rounds through it. One of my favorite pistols.

I think the Wrangler is a good choice. Not a work of art, but seems much better constructed than a Heritage Rough Rider, and they can still be found for under $200. I just can't see spending $500 for something like a used Single Six. Don't get me wrong, they are very well made (well, at least older ones), but $500 for a .22?

But if you just want to pull the trigger, now you're in DA territory and expect to spend some coin. Unless you can find a decent deal on a High Standard Double Nine or Sentinel. Last year I got a Sentinel for like $200. Not a museum piece, but pretty well made and very reliable.

There are absolutely cheaper .22LR revolvers than the Single Six, but if you're pissed off and just want to buy something that will work well, it may be time to buy once cry once.

Like most, I say Smith & Wesson or Ruger. DA or SA your choice and don't over look the J frame Kit gun but the Model 63. AND DO NOT BE AFRAID to go into the used market! A well cared for used gun will serve you every bit as well as a new one! BTW as far as semi-autos go I have a High Standard Model 107 that is now pushing 50 years old with literally hundreds of thousands of round fired through it sent in for repair once to replace the ejector. Buy quality, you won't regret it!
