The S&W in the first pic is Single action- internal hammer- fired. What exactly does that mean?
Kinda interested in one like first pic but wondering if the style of the one in the second pic is more accurate.

I've got one like that one on the bottom.
It jams every other mag.

The Ruger in the second picture has adjustable sights and will be more accurate with different types of ammunition.

I have a Browning Buckmark and it operates flawlessly.

means it's not striker fired, its single action like the ruger mkIII

Very accurate. I have a blued version and never had a problem with jamming caused by magazines. They also have great aftermarket support so you can buy pretty much all the parts you could need to upgrade and do it all yourself with basic tools. Thinking about putting a Pac-Lite barrel on mine.

The M&P22 (made for S&W by Walther) does have an internal hammer that is cocked and ready to fire when the slide is worked to chamber a round resulting in a light single action trigger pull - think single action revolver with hammer cocked. All other M&P handguns are striker fired meaning that the striker is cocked as the trigger is pulled. I have the M&P 22 and carry it all the time (4 wheeling/fishing/etc). Not necessarily for self defense, have others for that role. It's pretty reliable and likes minimags & federals.

I don't have a buckmark or Ruger mk series, but I'd say the Ruger or Browning will be more accurate than the S&W. If your wanting something to plink/have fun with the S&W fits the bill. If your wanting to hunt - go with one of the others.

I have the top one and I really like it. I own lots of .22s and for some reason I've just never bought a Ruger Mark II.

I have a ruger hunter with no problems.

My standard Ruger is right on and functions real well!

I got to shoot one of these a couple weeks ago and I want one bad. Just don't want to spend over $500 for a damn 22

I've owned both of them. I had the bottom one first. Very accurate and never gave me any problems. It was stolen out of my truck. I then bought the first one. I love it. Lighter than the mark II. Shoots just as accurate and if had to buy another one I would definitely purchase the M&P again.
