Ruger single six is the finest .22 handgun ive ever shot. It also costs twice as much as what you have listed

If you just want a bullet waster, heritage and cinermeron both make single actions under $200.

Of what you listed, the ruger is the only one i have handled. Nice gun.

They don't make them anymore but do yourself a favor and find a model 422 or 622 by S&W

422= 4" barrel

622= 6" barrel

FireStorm .22 is ~$250, and it looks like a gun, instead of a futuristic toy.

I own a buckmark and it's a great little gun. I like Rugers too. The Rugers just "feel" like a better made gun than the others. But I chose buckmark because it's easier to take down for thorough cleaning and reassemble.

I like the Ruger Mk 3 out of the available choices. It would also match up nicely for an integral supressor later.

I've shot both the Buckmark and the Mark 3 and they are both badass.

Also have a Single Six, and I agree. It's the most accurate and built like they used to make 'em. But most people now seem to prefer the bullet spitting action of a semi-auto over a single action revolver.

Another reason I chose the buckmark is because I also found a good deal on the buckmark rifle and wanted to share magazines.

Convincing:

pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap.
dump magazine, load magazine, depress slide release.
pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap.
Repeat.

Revolver:
PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP.
Flip cylinder guard, depress plunger,discharge brass, turn cylinder, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, insert round, turn cylinder, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.
PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP, PAP.

PAP= Gun Report.
pap= quiet Gun Report.

A S&W 22A is not a great gun but you can get some nice furniture so go ahead.

I have the ruger MkII. I love it. It's not hard to take down and clean. Maybe something is different about the MkIII that I dont know about. Cimarron makes the Plinkerton single action .22. I want one even though I have my dads ruger single six whenever I want it. I'm not a fan of the heritage revolvers, they just feel flimsy. I've never felt the cimarron in person though.

I have a Walther P22 set up with a suppressor. It is ok quiet...The real nastiness comes with the bolt actions. Snap your finger quiet.

I think that a 45acp suppressed with lithium grease is quieter than the .22 sub suppressed. I never have put a db gauge on it, but to my ears it does sound less noisy.
